|
Cleaning Robot
|
For smooth facade | |
|
2. Sloping Roof
|
Trolley Unit
|
Space for laying the tracks for trolley unit. |
|
Monorail fixed along the perimeter of the building at roof level
|
Aesthetic not a restricting factor | |
|
Cradle running on sloping track on the inclined roof
|
With glazing on the sloping roof | |
|
3. Pointed Roof
|
Trolley unit with telescopic jib
|
The entire floor level of the highest storey may be used to house the access system. |
|
4. Sloping Facade
|
BMU with telescopic jib
|
Recommended to use a cradle with an extended sloping panel to keep the cradle in vertical position.
|
|
Cleaning Robot
|
Smooth surface | |
|
5. Staggered Blocks
|
Trolley Unit
|
Spacious roof top |
|
Traveling Davits System
|
Overcrowding roof top | |
|
Fixed Davits System
|
Position at staggered portions. | |
|
Monorail fixed along the perimeter of the building at roof level.
|
|
|
|
Cleaning Robot
|
Smooth surface | |
|
6. Stepped Roofs
|
BMU with telescopic jib
|
Place the BMU on the highest step roof to reduce the number of access systems required
 |
|
7. Circular Buildings
|
Trolley Unit
|
Spacious roof top |
|
Traveling Davits System
|
