For one of the most iconic, recognizable bridges in the world, the maintenance work never really ends. The Golden Gate Bridge employs a highly experienced maintenance crew that has used Sky Climber equipment throughout the bridge’s history to keep it looking and working at its best.
Sky Climber has most recently provided several key pieces of equipment to enable daily maintenance on the Golden Gate Bridge. Standard Sky Stage Ultra (SSU) Platforms are suspended under the bridge for regular coating projects on its underside. Compact Air 1000 motors are used to power SSU platforms along with several custom platforms used to paint the suspension cables. Sky Climber also customized a special remote control device for operating the air hoists.
Additionally, Sky Climber LLC has provided in-house training on safely servicing their own equipment. This allows the bridge’s crews to effectively plan for the long-term surface maintenance of this San Francisco landmark.
