Hoisting Mechanism (reelers etc.)

The hoisting mechanism shall be a single layer.

The hoisting mechanism shall be fitted with a disc brake. This is to open electrically as soon as the power is supplied to the motor. The
safety brake shall close and hold the cradle firmly in place in the event of power failure. The hoisting mechanism shall be fitted with a
manual emergency ascent/descent system which allows the cradle to be raised, or preferably lowered to ground or safe egress level
in the event of a power failure. The manual emergency descent system shall have a “hold-to-run” action and be fitted with a
centrifugal governor to control the speed during no power descent. The controlled descent speed shall be lower than the triggering
speed of the over-speed safety brake. The hoisting mechanism shall have an IP rating of 66 Class B insulation. The Lifting speed shall
be between 12 and 18 m/min. The hoisting mechanism shall be fitted with an over-speed safety brake which operates when descent
reaches 27 m/min. This secondary, mechanical brake, in accordance with EN 1808/BS 6037, is to act directly on the winch motor
shaft, and shall be automatically applied if either of the following conditions occurs:

 Sudden downward acceleration.

 Excess downward speed.

The single layer drum hoists shall be designed in accordance with AS1418.1 with groove dimensions and drum dimensions in

raised either by a synchronized screw lift or by hydraulic jacking, with an emergency lock that engages in the event of a hydraulic
cylinder failing. The telescopic mast shall be designed such that the operation of the vertical movement of the machine housing is
integrated into the controls of the BMU. The vertical operation components and design shall not adversely affect the stability of the
BMU in any way; the vertical up and down movement shall be fully stabilized, with all loading from the BMU onto the supports
complying with the requirements of the Standards and local Regulatory requirements.

Jib

The jib(s) shall generally be housed on top of the machine housing. The jib(s) and machine housing slew together, with the jib(s)
designed to luff, telescope, and knuckle to allow the cradle to be positioned on all façade areas requiring access. The extremity of the
jib(s) shall be fitted with a motorized cross bar (rotating speed 2 m/min) which allows the cradle to be positioned parallel to the façade,
no matter what the angle of the jib(s) is to the façade. The jib(s) shall be of tubular section construction. The jib(s) can be fixed
horizontal or be raised and lowered (luffed) using a hydraulic ram fixed to the machine housing.

A hydraulic power unit shall be designed for the operation of the hydraulic cylinder that operates the luffing up and down of the
suspension jib(s) when luffing is required. The power pack shall consist of an electric motor driving a gear pump, control valve, safety
valve, throttle valve, pressure gauge, filter, return line filter etc.

Power Traversing System

The traversing of the machine shall be by two planetary gear motors on the front drive bogies only. An electromagnetic brake with a
controlled release ensures the machine stability even under high wind conditions. The rear bogies shall be free running but
articulated to maneuvers around corners. The speed for traversing shall be 8m/min maximum.

Power Supply Cable Reeler

The power supply cable (20m) connecting the machine housing to the power point shall be stored on a spring-loaded cable reeler

being wound completely out of the drum. Any further forward movement of the BMU shall be prevented until some power cable is
retracted back onto the reeler drum.

Counterweight

The counterweights shall be manufactured from steel or lead and positioned at the rear of the machine to counterbalance the cradle
and imposed load in accordance with the European Standard: EN 1808.The counterweight shall be located within the rear of the
machine housing. Alternatively, it shall be located on the rear jib, either as a fixed component or as a moving assembly which moves in
order to counterbalance the telescopic movement of the forward jib and thereby prevent uplift of the BMU on the track. There shall be
downward loading onto the track for all four BMU wheels at all times.

Electrical System

working control circuit, if the limit switch in the control system fails.
 Limit switch that stops the ascent of the cradle when an obstruction or overhang is encountered.
 Limit switch that stops the descent of the cradle when an obstruction or overhang is encountered.
 Proximity sensor that stops slewing/traversing of the trolley when the suspension jib/counterweight encounters
an obstruction.
 Slack cable limit switches that will stop the hoist motor if slackness develops in the suspension ropes during operation.
 Tangled rope protection limit switches that stop the hoist motor if the suspension rope on the drum becomes tangled or
coiled up on one side of the drum.
 Interlocked controls that prevent all other movement of the BMU when the cradle has commenced descent (off the top limit).
 A detector that breaks the power supply if a chain used for the operation of safety devices becomes unduly slack.
  Provisions must be provided to lower the cradle (s) manually, at a controlled rate, to a safe egress position, in case of
an emergency (after communication with operators in the cradle).
