SKY CLIMBER® IS AN EASY SET-UP FOR A LADY

A Sky Climber powered scaffold sets up complete in less than an hour. Changes to new drop positions in only 15 minutes. Converts excessive set up time, as with tubular scaffolding, into productive work time. In addition, Sky Climber speeds up work by taking men and materials to perfect work levels without fatigue, and with tested safety features. This kind of set up, get up and go is what helped the

Q.E.2 get ready for her trial run—on time! It's also what led another shipyard to report: "rigging and dismantling time cut 93%; capital expenditures reduced 50% the first year." Find out how shipyards around the world are saving time and iabor with Sky Climber Systems.
