ST-180 Electric Spider

ST-180 Electric Spider

Durable, efficient transmission offers workhorse performance with minimal parts and maintenance.

  • Controlled descent at half rated speed during power loss
  • Long-lasting electromagnetic brake; always engaged when power is off
  • Built-in overload sensor and overspeed brake
  • Reinforced midair transfer point and wear plates at base
  • Also available in larger dimensions with an electric motor by special order
  • Hour meter records operating hours for maintenance tracking

A self-contained, single line unit, the ST-180 features a working swath of 8 ft (2.4 m). Adding flydecks enlarges the ST-180 to 14 ft (4.3 m), accommodating two workers to double productivity. Contractors can add modular platforms or plank sections between two ST-180s to form a double line suspended scaffold. With modular sections, workers can quickly connect sections without special tools to create a maximum reachable working swath of 56 or 62 ft (17.1 or 18.9 m) with flydecks attached. The unit comes equipped with numerous safety devices to ensure safe operation..
