OverviewThe Protection screen Xclimb 60 is a hydraulically climbed façade enclosure designed to enable safe construction work on the upper levels of high‑rise buildings while providing weather protection. The system is structure‑guided and can be repositioned by crane or, where configured, by a mobile hydraulic unit. Multiple design variants meet diverse site requirements.
Key benefits- Gapless perimeter enclosure protects personnel from fall hazards, wind and weather.
- Structure‑guided climbing enables safe repositioning even in high winds.
- Horizontal and vertical sealing prevents dropped objects during lifting and relocation.
- Modular design adapts to any floor plan or façade geometry.
- Adjustable floor supports and relocatable working platforms accommodate variable storey heights and facade inclinations.
- Option for pre‑assembly reduces on‑site time; mobile hydraulic option reduces crane usage.
System & design variantsProtection screen Xclimb 60 with Framed enclosure XbrightThe Xbright framed enclosure is a rentable framed panel system with large panels and simple connections for reduced erection times. It accepts different inlays to match site needs.
Design variant with polycarbonate inlay- Translucent
- Wind‑impermeable
- Non‑see‑through
Design variant with mesh inlay- Translucent
- Wind‑permeable
All‑round safety (polycarbonate inlay)The translucent polycarbonate inlay provides natural lighting across the enclosed work decks, is wind‑impermeable and non‑see‑through, enhancing site crew safety and productivity.
Protection screen Xclimb 60 with trapezoidal metal sheet enclosureCombination with a trapezoidal metal sheet enclosure suits complex structure geometries. The system can be dimensioned flexibly and adjusted precisely to the layout to close all gaps and prevent tools or small parts from falling.
Design variant with trapezoidal metal sheet- Wind‑impermeable
- Non‑see‑through
Design variant with perforated trapezoidal sheet- Translucent
- Wind‑permeable
Table Lifting System TLSThe Table Lifting System TLS is an add‑on that allows safe repositioning of floor slab formwork, tools and equipment without a crane. TLS can be suspended from the structure or used as a self‑climbed unit and integrated into the protection screens.
