Geda lifts used on Kaktus Towers build
21 October 2022Material and passenger lifts from Geda used in the construction of a high-profile Danish building.
Danish contractor LM Byg A/S utilised two Geda Multilift P22 Premium systems, rented from Danish company TS Platform & Hejs, for the vertical transport of goods and passengers, on the construction of the Kaktus Towers – a high-profile, mixed-use building with two 80 metre towers in in the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Multilift P22 Premium has a load capacity of up to 2,000kg, or 22 passengers. It has a lifting speed of 54 m/min. Despite its load capacity the hoist can travel on just one mast using the Geda’s Vario mast system.
The Multilift has a maximum transport height of up to 200 m and the platform is 1.40 m x 3.20 m x 2.10 m in size.
Assembly of the Multilift P22 Premium is simple, says Geda. The complete pre-installed base unit, for example, which comprises the car, enclosure, flat cable bin, and drive, is delivered as a single unit. Its dimensions are suitable for container and HGV transport.
Once on the jobsite the hoist solution can be set up immediately without individual components for the car having to be assembled, says Geda.
The actual assembly of the Geda Multilift P22 is done from the walk-on roof. A ladder is attached to the car roof for easy access during assembly and inspection work.
Due to the small footprint of the Multilift it does not need any additional foundations. It is equipped with an automatic control, plus a diagnostic system for troubleshooting.
An automatic lubrication device, to reduce wear on the gear rack and pinion, is included as standard on the Geda Multilift P22.
A Geda 2 PK was also installed on one of the cranes at the jobsite to transport crane operators to their workplace safely and more quickly. This crane operator hoist can transport two persons (200 kg) up to a height of 150 m at a rate of 24 m/min. This, says Geda, allows the operator to start their work five times sooner.
In addition, LM Byg A/S used a Geda 500 Z/ZP, with a lifting speed of 24 m/min in material mode and 12 m/min in passenger mode. The mast of the transport platform grew along with the construction progress until the required height had been reached.
