A suspended platform is a type of work platform or scaffold that is suspended from a structure, such as a building or bridge, to provide access for maintenance and construction work. It typically consists of a metal or steel frame with a platform or deck made of metal grating or solid sheets. The platform is suspended by cables or ropes attached to a winch or hoist mechanism, which allows it to be raised or lowered as needed.
Suspended platforms offer several advantages over traditional scaffolding systems, including greater versatility and stability, as well as the ability to reach higher elevations. They are commonly used for cleaning, painting, and repairing the exteriors of tall buildings, bridges, and other structures.
