THE FASTEST AND SAFEST WAY TO SET UP A SUSPENDED FLYDECK PLATFORM
The innovative FlyRail system consists of a pair of aluminium rails suspended from the intrados for the assembly and disassembly of the FlyDeck platform:
- They allow operators to safely arrange the decks and suspend the platform with chains while the beams are temporarily supported by the safety chain of the FlyRail guide
- They allow beams to be installed longitudinally and transversely so that a platform can easily be created around a pier or other obstacle
- They are very easy to handle and are equipped with an electric or manual hoist and wireless hand control
- Can be used with all 25 cm and 45 cm beam sizes, with lengths from 100 cm up to 600 cm
- Longitudinal advancement with L=600 cm FlyDeck beams and a pair of FlyRail rails is the most productive mode for creating the suspended FlyDeck structure
ADVANTAGES
- Significant reduction in set-up time: 30 to 50 per cent time saved, especially when using 600 cm beams
- High speed even during disassembly
- Total safety for operators
- Effort relief for operators
- Suitable for any sector: bridges, viaducts, and large ceilings such as museums, sports, or commercial buildings
SPECIFICATIONS
- 5 m long aluminium guide with two handles
- For ease of transport it can also be supplied in 2 x 2.5 m elements or 3 x 1.67 m elements
- 2.4 kN electric hoist with hand control and safety chain
- Rear anti-tip chain fixed to the anchored platform
- Sliding trolley with quick coupling for handling beams
- Each FlyRail comes with a wheeled case containing all accessories
Longitudinal advancement
- Standing on the anchored platform, secure the two spigots on the heads of the beams with two spring pins each. Position the pair of FlyRail guides. Attach the sliding carriage to the h=25 cm L=600 cm beam near the 5th vertical upright.
- Drive and push the cantilever beam, lower it with the hand control to align it with the existing beam and connect it with four pins to the spigots. Attach and tension the safety chain. Do the same with the second beam. Lay the 50 cm decks with the deck holder, anchor with two chains 3 m away from the previous chain and attach the bay brace.
Transverse advancement
- Position the FlyRail pair transversely at 90° to the plane. Suspend the FlyRail guides on the intrados and secure them with the rear anti-tip chain. Prepare a FlyDeck beam and attach the bay braces to the ends of the beam.
- Suspend the beam with the sliding carriages of the FlyRail. Overhang the beam with the bay braces. Attach the bay braces to the existing beam. Tension the safety chains. Position the first two decks. Drill the concrete to suspend the first chain. Continue with the other decks, drill, and attach the second chain. Unhook the two FlyRails and continue setting up the FlyDeck in the chosen direction.
Safety Chain
The hoist is equipped with a safety chain that directly suspends the FlyRail guide at the intrados and supports the weight when the operators start to lay the planks on the beams. It is mandatory to hook and tension the safety chain after the two beams have been connected to the existing ones and before starting the laying of the planks.
MANDATORY ELEMENT
The rear anti-tip chain fixed on the penultimate pincer support.
