Suspended cradles — better known as gondolas — are mechanical and electronic cranes suspended from the roof of a building. They move systematically along a rail structure while carrying window cleaners or any other facade maintenance specialist.
Architects, builders and consultants often face challenges with facade maintenance and rely on Fallprotec and FBA Gomyl gondolas, from standard machines through to modular structures answering specific functional requirements.
The design of the machine and its components is calculated with the latest generation of software and certified in accordance with European and North American standards.
