BFT Mastclimbing is the UK leader in provision of Mast climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) & associated IPAF training for mast climbers to the construction industry. MCWPs are a highly deployable alternative to scaffolding which can be used on both construction and maintenance projects with access requirements.

Rapid growth in the last few years has seen BFT’s fleet increase to over 1,600 machines with different sizes to fit all different applications including brickwork, cladding, glazing and all aspects of envelope maintenance. From low-level flat refurbishments to complex high-rise developments we use our technology, experience and unfaltering dedication to safety to save you both time and money. Research suggests these savings could be as much as 61% for buildings 12 floors and higher and up to 80% savings for 25+ floors.

So What is Mastclimbing?

A Mast climbing work platform is a motorised elevated platform that travels up a vertical mast attached to the side of a building. Each MCWP can be custom fitted to your buildings exact dimensions.

Myth busting the common misconceptions:

Suitable for many facades – not just straight walls!
Adaptions & extendable platforms mean balconies and corners can be overcome!
Requiring just 2 people to erect the speed create enormous efficiencies and cost savings when compared to traditional scaffolding solutions
Load-bearing ability – Suitable up to X tonnes and brickwork is one of the main current uses.

Other benefits

Reduced program times
Easily adjustable working height reduces injury risks
No costs to adjust to allow different trades to work
Reduced handling of materials = further reducing risk of injury and damage
Increased productivity and visibility - particularly beneficial if working on a live site with residents within buildings
Less ties into building require less remedial work during dismantle

Safety

Serviced, installed, examined and maintained by fully trained competent technicians
Extensive electrical and mechanical safety devices to prevent unsafe conditions
Manual descent system in the event of a power failure
Mobility ensures the User to work at the most suitable height to eliminate the risk of injury
