SELF CLIMBING KOKOON®

goal

In high rise construction we all have the same goals: safety, speed and sustainability

Improve the safety standards of all workers
Eliminate the potential risk of falling objects
Accelerate construction operations
Keep crane free to perform core tasks
Create more work space
Provide safe and easy access to the building envelope 
solution

Providing innovative protection: the Self Climbing Kokoon®

Designed to keep workers safe and objects from falling off the structure
Climbs from floor to floor as a complete single unit
Greatly enhances access to construction operations
Self contained work platforms
Complete perimeter protection system

Safe for workers, safe for the site, safe for the environment

safe for workers

Height work poses the most serious safety risk on construction sites, which is why the Self Climbing Kokoon® guarantees maximum protection by allowing workers to perform all perimeter construction and steel erection operations from inside a protective cocoon that also facilitates storage and provides easy access to all tools and equipment.

safe for the site

Eliminating the constant risk of objects falling or being blown off construction sites, the Self Climbing Kokoon® guarantees the highest level of protection available on the market through its durable metal plate exterior that creates a completely sealed barrier, complemented by automated movable platforms that close the gap between the system and the building perimeter at each floor level, providing multiple levels of protection and safe access.

SCK® gives you complete and safe access to multiple floor levels.

For example, when used for steel construction:

The working floor (upper most erected floor) 
Three floors below the working floor
Two floors erected from the cocoon that cantilevers above the working floor
SELF Climbing

Why use Self Climbing Kokoon® as opposed to a traditional cocoon system? Unlike other market solutions, the Self Climbing Kokoon® is the only 100% self-climbing system as a complete single unit, equipped with a hydraulic lifting system that allows it to climb up or down building facades without requiring additional equipment or operators—ascending 2 floors (27') in less than 4 hours with the simple push of a button.

Because Self Climbing Kokoon® has been envisioned and enginerred with the help of expert steel erectors, we know your expectations:

Save time and free up the crane
So while it climbs, you can work

More access

On construction sites, space is critically limited—especially on high-rise buildings. The Self Climbing Kokoon® creates access where you need it by providing additional usable space that enhances safety, comfort, and performance: for a building with a 700-foot perimeter, the system delivers 35,000 square feet of extra workspace for tools, equipment, and personnel.

Easy to use

Engineered as a patented modular system, the Self Climbing Kokoon® guarantees efficient transportation and assembly while adapting easily to all building shapes and dimensions, with all operations managed through an exterior-mounted control room.

Visibility

Self Climbing Kokoon® provides you a great opportunity to advertise your business. A building with 700 feet of perimeter provides you with 47.000 square feet of potential advertising space
