27 new stops speed up construction work on the Perlachturm tower in Augsburg
To ensure that this imposing building continues to shine in all its glory, extensive renovation work is currently being carried out. As part of the work, the tower’s copper dome, weighing around ten tonnes, has been completely removed and temporarily stored in front of the town hall. The internal reinforced concrete staircase is also being gradually removed to make way for a new, modern staircase.
In this complex construction project, all trades involved use a common vertical transport system: the GEDA 1500 Z/ZP transport platform. With a total of 27 stops and a height of 70 metres, the system is perfectly tailored to the requirements of the Perlachturm renovation.
This versatile device combines two functions in one system: it can be used both as a material hoist and as a transport platform for people and materials. The transport platform control system with a lifting speed of 12 m/min is used for transporting people. If only building materials are being transported, the system can be switched to material hoist mode with a speed of 24 m/min. For maximum efficiency on the construction site.
A device with numerous possibilities: thanks to 14 different platform variants with load capacities and dimensions, the GEDA 1500 Z/ZP adapts perfectly to a wide variety of construction site requirements. The spacious load platforms offer sufficient space – even for heavy and bulky materials, such as those regularly used in the renovation of a historic tower. Platform variant A is being used on this construction site. The proven two-mast system with the innovative GEDA UNIX mast ensures stable and smooth handling despite its high load capacity of up to 2,000 kg. This is a crucial factor when working at lofty heights.
Once again, it is clear that GEDA solutions ‘Made in Germany’ are used wherever efficiency, safety and quality are required.
In the construction machinery sector and at global construction sites, GEDA has been renowned for offering unique quality and made-in-Germany expertise for over 90 years. The company has developed a comprehensive product range over the decades: From compact 60 kg wire rope lifts for workmen and versatile transport platforms to person and material hoists – the GEDA range could not be any broader. This is complemented by building maintenance unit and industrial elevator product ranges for permanent use in power stations and cement works, offshore plants, etc.
