Apollo Cradles specialises in delivering temporary access cradle solutions that are versatile, safe, and cost-effective—engineered to perform across a wide range of structures and environments. Whether you’re maintaining façades or working on offshore installations, our cradles provide reliable access where other methods may fall short. Our standard suspended access cradles can range from 1m to 15m in length and are quick and safe to install, these can also be fitted with end and walkthrough stirrups. Standard cradle are a fast , safe efficient way of gaining access to high rise buildings with cradles often only taking 1 day to install regardless of the height.

These cradle systems are designed to provide safe and efficient access across two working levels within the same operational area. They can be configured to accommodate different working heights, making them ideal for complex façade works, multi-tiered inspections, and refurbishment projects. The upper cradle typically serves as the main platform, housing the drive motors and primary controls. The lower cradle functions as the slave unit, suspended beneath the main deck. Operatives can move between decks via internal ladders, which are protected by safety barriers to prevent falls during transitions at height. The system is designed for two-person operation, but depending on the platform length and Safe Working Load (SWL), it can safely accommodate up to 4–6 operatives.

These cradle are designed to provide access around corners and protrusion from the main façade, Apollo cradles can offer access cradles that allow for standard 90 degree corners or where the corner protrusion are not so simple can offer a range of angles from 20 to 90 degrees. To make these systems more stable they are generally configured using 3 winches.
