Klimer is currently supplying a full access and material handling solution for a 47-story tower retrofit project on the iconic Canadian department store, Hudson’s Bay Company.

Our project scope was to design, manufacture, supply and install material handling and access equipment.

Because of the limited space on the ground, there was no available space to receive and store materials to support the project.

Our solution involved creating a staging area on the tower’s 9th floor roof for storage of materials, job site trailers and other project supplies.

Five mast-climbers were installed above structural sidewalk bridges in order to keep sidewalks open to pedestrians and five mast-climbers were suspended from columns of the building with welded support brackets and supported above adjacent buildings.

All ten KPM-8’s reach 480 ft high, and carry up to 14,000 lbs of material, allowing trades to work productively, efficiently and safely.

The KTP-5 provided transport of 15 ft curtain wall panels from street level up to the staging area.

Engineering, creative-thinking and installation expertise were all fundamental in the continued success of this project.
