SUPERDECK 4.2
DESCRIPTION
The Preston Hire SuperDeck® is an innovative, retractable Loading Platform system for the simple and fast handling and delivery of materials on construction sites. Ideal for multi-storey construction, Preston Hire SuperDecks can be stacked vertically above each other on one elevation of a building creating a ‘drawer-like’ loading platform system.
TThe 4.2m SuperDeck is the largest deck in the fleet, delivering a loading capacity of 5,000kg/5 tons/11,000 pounds. The smaller width does not compromise the impressive weight this crane deck effortlessly handles allowing efficient movements of bulky goods and materials up high rise construction projects.
HOW THE 4.2m SUPERDECK WILL HELP YOU
The SuperDeck® provides construction sites with safety, time and cost efficiencies. Benefits delivered by the 4.2m SuperDeck® include:
• Simplicity of use – SuperDecks don’t need a power supply, there are no switches or wiring to malfunction or oil leaks to manage. You simply unlock and push it out. It is that simple.
• Design – the design of the SuperDeck allows you to implement our two-prop methodology. This methodology applies almost half the downward force to a slab edge when compared to a traditional four prop installation method. This can also be achieved via our bolt down option should props not be possible.
• Strength – Preston Hire SuperDecks are arguably some of the toughest loading platforms on the market. The role they play in the construction process is vital, thus we ensure our customers have peace of mind knowing the SuperDeck is up to the task. It is built to withstand rough treatment and as a result, there is less down time on the construction site.
• Safety – Crane operators and riggers have greater safety and efficiency by having a fixed, identified location throughout the project where the loading platforms are located. Our Crane Loading platforms are all fitted with fixed safety harness points which allow loads to be vertically stacked and rolled in and out as needed.
• Time – By using a tower crane/mobile crane and SuperDeck® combination correctly, site productivity will rapidly improve due to reduced crane movements saving time and money. Additionally, each SuperDeck only takes approx. 20 minutes to install saving considerable time over the duration of the project.
• Efficiencies – SuperDecks minimise the requirement to use hoists for both personnel and materials. The SuperDeck system will handle all materials, leaving hoists for personnel only.
OPERATING DETAILS
4.2m SuperDeck extends from the side of the building by lengths ranging from 4.5m up to 5.25m when fully extended. Important operating details include:
• SuperDeck crane loading decks can be easily operated by one person. A full familiarisation and safety briefing will be discussed upon installation by a qualified Preston Hire staff member.
• The 4.2m SuperDeck has a safe working load of up to 5 tonnes.
• SuperDeck loading decks can be installed, relocated or removed in around 20 minutes.
• Once installed, a single person can operate the movable platform easily. Operators can easily retract the platform in or out to get loads into the level.
• Preston Hire provides installation services as well as consultation and liaison for specialised or complex projects.
POSSIBLE USES OF THE SUPERDECK
The 4.2m SuperDeck can be utilised for a range of applications on building and construction sites. Common uses include:
• Delivery of Supplies – the SuperDecks main use is the loading of materials, equipment and supplies to and from the various levels of a building under construction. The SuperDeck platform moves in and out to receive the load, resulting in reduced crane movements saving time and money.
• Additional Storage Platform – SuperDecks can provide additional storage space for materials and tools regularly needed for the completion of a floor.
• Storage of Debris for Later Removal – SuperDeck platforms can act as a central location for debris generated during the build and can easily be cleared as needed.
• Temporary Overhead Protection – The extendable platform is a great way to ensure safety below. In the time it takes to erect guardrails and fall protection scaffolds, SuperDeck platforms can provide essential protection and in in some cases eliminate the need for scaffolding all together. Objects falling from buildings and cranes form one of the biggest dangers on sites. You can now mitigate that risk.
