The ACT-8 work platform combines safety, power and flexibility. It distinguishes itself by its versatility and represents the best choice for contractors specialized in repointing, glazing, E.I.F.S., curtain walls installation, metal framing, etc.

Used with one or two masts, this system of cantilevers, bridges and forward extension is the solution to vertical access problems encountered during inspection, restoration and maintenance of buildings and structures. It is also an access solution for industrial projects.

The endless screw mechanism of the ACT-8 allows elevation at variable speed and an exact positioning of the platform. Assembled with one mast, this system offers:

• a maximum length of 50 ft (15,2 m);
• a load capacity of 8 000 lb (3 630 kg);
• a lifting speed up to 39 ft (11,9 m) per minute.

Whether the ACT-8 is mounted on a ground base or a freestanding base equipped with adjustable outriggers, the initial installation and repositioning can be quickly accomplished. Thus, a 115 ft (35 m) set-up can be moved by two workers in less that 2 ½ hours.

With its unique and revolutionary technology, the ACT-8 is simple to use. Its fully automated system allows a quick lifting and an exact positioning at the desired height. Also, this reliable mechanism is almost maintenance-free.

The possibility to increase the upper working area and install a lower step working deck on the outriggers gives the workers a productive and safe environment: material is readily available. Also, the lower step can fit straight and curved walls, and any irregular surfaces.

The ACT-8 can be completed by a unique overhead and weather enclosure system. Also, the platform can be equipped with an easy to install monorail system which facilitates the positioning of light loads. Finally, the engine block of the ACT-8 can be used to activate a hydraulic portable crane which is useful to feed the platform with material when heights become an issue.
