This type of building design can pose challenges for access providers, the most notable obstacles being: limited tie access points and the requirement to transport large plant items 'end on' for interior fit outs within a rapid construction timeframe.
The Atlas™ loading gantry is a flexible system that allows the temporary loading out of large, heavy and often fragile items of specialised plant via cranes, telehandlers and hoists.
The solutions is ideal for this type of project as it minimises the number of ties directly into the building (in comparison with scaffold) and allows multiple hoists to be tied to the temporary structure, rather than the building.
The Atlas™ gantry can be designed to service multiple levels.
Benefits of Atlas™ Gantry Vs Scaffold Gantry
- Significantly faster to erect and dismantle
- Less labour-intensive
- Less components
- Less deliveries due to reduced material requirements
- Items can be loaded out via cranes, telehandlers and hoists
- Sections can be pre-assembled off site
Minimal Interference to Building
- Multiple hoists can be tied directly to gantry
- Fewer building ties
- Options for free-standing version with no ties
- Wide leg span reduces impact on the ground
Capacity/Flexibility
- Can service multiple levels
- Different configuration to scaffold gantry - perpendicular to the building
- Staircase can be incorporated within gantry
- Can span up to 5.0m as standard
Safety
- Sections are pre-built on the ground to minimise working at height
- Sections can be craned into position minimising work at height

Servicing Multiple Hoists
- All hoists are tied directly to the loading gantry
- The gantry is typically tied every 2-3 floors
- All hoists can be utilised simultaneously, servicing multiple levels
Our hoists work in full sync with the gantry system — explore hoist options for multi-level access.
Loading Dock

- Unloading directly from the lorry onto the dock
- Reduced handling of materials
- Reduced dependency on crane/forklift for uploading
