Home to the Mayor of London, the London Assembly and the GLA, the 45 metre high City Hall in the capital was designed by the architect Lord Norman Foster. The bold design of the building with its mass of angled windows means that a conventional cradle for the structure’s window cleaners is not possible. 

To carry out the cleaning duties, OCS (Office Cleaning Services) use a JLG 150HAX platform to reach up to the top. This 27ton machine can transport the window cleaners 150 feet up into the air.

Euraccess were commissioned in the summer of 2007 on behalf of JLG Industries to ensure the good care of this machine continued. The company’s task was to carry out a thorough boom examination. This involved the removal of the boom section to allow for a complete clean, checking of the pads and hoses, and replacement of the chains.

The window cleaners of OCS can be confident that their aerial platform can reach the dizziest of heights in a safe, sound and manner in which the machine operates exactly as it should do.
