Specialist temporary suspended cradle access contractors.
Suspended Cradle Solutions is a specialist contractor providing temporary suspended cradle access solutions for construction, façade and specialist works.
We support projects across a range of sectors, delivering systems that are planned, installed and managed within established temporary works procedures.
Our work typically involves the provision of temporary suspended cradle access to support façade installation, refurbishment, maintenance and specialist works on high-rise and complex structures.
We operate within main contractor temporary works systems, coordinating closely with Temporary Works Coordinators, project managers and site teams to ensure access solutions are safely integrated, clearly documented and properly controlled.
Where required, we provide BS5974-aligned design input and technical support for suspended cradle systems, including calculations and supporting documentation. We also regularly deliver works to approved third-party designs, ensuring clarity of responsibility and compliance at all times.
Our approach places a strong emphasis on design control, risk management and traceability throughout the project lifecycle.
Our team brings practical site experience across live construction and occupied environments, with an understanding of the technical, logistical and safety considerations associated with suspended access systems.
We place a strong emphasis on professional standards, clear communication and coordination, recognising that successful delivery relies as much on process and integration as it does on technical compliance.
