Alimak’s building maintenance units (BMUs)
We’re the official Canadian distributor of Alimak’s BMUs, which are world-renowned for quality and performance. They are the top-graded solution for exterior building access. These Alimak built-in permanent building maintenance units (BMUs) are innovative automated systems for accessing exterior building facades. They do not require manual assembly, dismantling, or moving of equipment, providing unmatched convenience and efficiency for workers.
Alimak’s BMUs are also engineered for hassle-free and secure roof-level access, allowing operators to reach complex building surfaces without unnecessary safety risks.
Tailored solutions for tall buildings
These BMUs are the optimum solutions for buildings of any height, even those with complex architectural designs. Alimak’s BMU system typically requires a roof-mounted track for precise positioning along the building’s facade. Early coordination with architectural and structural designers is crucial to minimize structural impact and optimize track layout.
Most BMUs operate on strategically placed anchored rail tracks to avoid rooftop mechanical equipment. A rail system tailored to the building’s environment can be recommended according to your project’s specific requirements.
Dual control options allow you to operate the systems from either the carriage or the platform, providing maximum flexibility. The BMU’s also allow for horizontal movements without workers having to leave the platform. They can be discreetly stored when not in use, without compromising the building’s aesthetic integrity. What’s more, the platform is available in modular sections with integrated deployable extensions that can be added based on required access, perfectly adapting to the changing facades of modern buildings.
