to the facade at all times. The turn-table should sit on maintenance-free bearings and is driven
by gear motor controlled both from the cradle as well as from the roof trolley.
9.Hoisting mechanism:
Manntech cleaning cradle is fitted with a winch drum of 600 kg working capacity and hoisting
speed of approximately 10m/min. The wire ropes are stored on the four separate compartment
of the grooved winch drum to increase its life and avoid jamming.

The slewing mechanism turns the jib arms about the base of the roof trolley thus provides easy
access to the facade. It consists of the following:
 Turn table with bearings
 Toothed gear box
 Brake Motor
 Secondary Brake


11.Wire Ropes
The cradle is suspended by 4 wire ropes, each 7mm diameter, which are individually galvanised
and stored on the grooved winch drum. The wire ropes houses the electrical conductors and
communications system between the cradle and roof trolley.
