Sunshade lifts at Nelson’s Court
Long sunshades had to reach the upper floors of a tower at Nelson’s Court after the hoist had gone. We rigged a hauling system from the roof and carried each one up on a Grabo vacuum lifter.

Scope at Nelson’s Court
The entrance below stayed open, so every lift ran inside an exclusion zone with a spotter on the ground.
- Hauling system
A rope hauling system rigged from the roof to carry long sunshades up the façade.
- Vacuum lifting
Each sunshade held on a Grabo vacuum lifter, since the smooth fins have no lifting points.
- Installation
Technicians on ropes guided and fixed each sunshade at height.
- Waterproofing
Membrane and sealant details completed from the same rope systems.
