High-rise structures call for effective maintenance measures. Any building over 492 feet in height requires a Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) to ensure proper maintenance and compliance with safety standards. At UCEL Inc., we include elements such as slewing rings and turning T-jibs into our BMU systems, which allow us to offer high performance, versatility, and safety features. This advancement has allowed us to raise the bar not only for ourselves but also among other building maintenance unit manufacturers in Canada and the USA.
The Importance of Slewing Rings in BMUs
Slewing rings are one of the critical components of today’s BMUs, as they facilitate their ability to turn and reach out to difficult angles more. This flexibility of design comes in handy, particularly for buildings with distinct architectural designs. Because of the great range of movement and positioning offered by the slewing rings, it becomes easier to access all regions of the building’s facade, making maintenance and cleaning more effective.
Key Benefits of Slewing Rings:
- Improved Mobility: Allows BMUs to achieve narrow or intricate angles without compromising safety.
- Shorter Maintenance Period: Operating a slewing ring efficiently protects it from extreme wear and tear, prolonging the unit’s lifespan.
- Enhanced Security: The positional capabilities of these BMUs make working at higher heights safer for operators.
How Turning T-Jibs Transform BMU Operations
The design of building maintenance units (BMUs) no longer has to remain restricted to a single width and height. The addition of turning JIBs enhances this flexibility. This is very important in buildings with unnecessary features, such as some parts of the facade sticking out of the building or some parts set into the building. Buildings can now access all their walls. With turning T-jib attachments optimized for building repair units, maintenance teams can now access higher and later unreachable regions, reducing operations’ overall time and cost.
Advantages of Turning T-Jibs:
- Broader Coverage: Increases the horizontal and vertical span of the BMU, making it suitable for clean-up works for contour irregularities of buildings.
- Controlled Motion: Enables stable and controlled motion at even the farthest reaches.
- Improved Productivity: Provides faster positioning, reducing the time to complete each maintenance period.
Why UCEL’s BMU Systems Stand Out
At UCEL Inc., we have Advanced and Safety-Integrated BMU systems. Our units are designed and manufactured to an international safety standard and customized for every building we service. We work with the best building maintenance unit manufacturers in Europe to provide BMUs that ensure the efficient and effective maintenance of high-rises in Canada and the USA.
The use of slewing rings and turning T-jibs in the design of BMUs is a revolution in modern building maintenance systems. UCEL’s dedication to innovation does not allow any unit to be made that is not to or above the standard expected and so to provide our customers with high quality and reliable solutions. Enhance your building’s maintenance capabilities with UCEL’s advanced building maintenance units. Contact us today to learn more about our BMU systems and how they can serve your unique needs.
