The Northern Strands Suspended Access team recently completed Outrigger Davit work at the Cory mine head frame. The Outrigger Davit was extended 10 feet high with 8 feet of reach to reach up and over a 52" parapet wall and ground obstruction. The system was rigged up in 5 days. Northern Strands is one of only a handful of companies in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba to have specialized suspended access equipment on hand and ready to go.
The Outrigger Davit allows for easy clearance over tall parapets while the beam and counterweights are at a safe rooftop level.
Rather than using the Rolling Outrigger Northern Strands set up a 10 foot high by 8 foot outreach Outrigger Davit for Swing Stage Suspension Systems.

Northern Strands is currently working with multiple contractors on the new Children's Hospital in Saskatoon, where the footprint demands alternate solutions to scissor lifts and boom lifts. Aerial lifts are not always the solution. Swing Stage platforms are
often times more economical than other access solutions. With no less than 10 Suspended Access work platforms on site in
various configurations, here's proof that Northern Strands has the swing stage equipment and expertise
to get you up to your elevated work areas.
Think that Suspended Access Platforms
only go straight up and down? Think again!
Northern Strands also installed
this unique rigging system (seen below), for an international contractor at the Children's Hospital construction site in
Saskatoon. This contractor needed the elevated work platform to have the ability
to move in and out in relation to the wall, as it was sloped in design.
To complicate matters, the crowded footprint of this project did not allow for
the use of boom-type man-lifts. With very little fuss, Northern Strands supplied
extended reach outrigger beams that utilize a secondary rolling trolley system,
which gave the contractor exactly the abilities they needed. This was not
the first custom solution Northern Strands has provided to the multiple contractors on at the Children's Hospital.
