The Oil & Steel Octoplus tracked spider lift has just played a crucial role in an external painting project for Dutch contractor Schong Schilderwerken B.V., working for the VvE Dennenkroon housing association. With its all-terrain tracked chassis, the Octoplus made light work of moving over landscaped areas and turf, getting the team precisely where they needed to be for every stage of the job.
A strong benefit of using the Octoplus for this application was its pantograph working envelope, enabling the painting crew to move smoothly from window to window with minimal repositioning or downtime. This efficiency, combined with a 250 kg platform capacity, meant that operators worked quickly and safely with the tools and materials required for a flawless finish.
Another advantage for Schong Schilderwerken’s crews is the Octoplus’ compact transportability; thanks to its size and weight, it can be delivered via a standard trailer, making it ideal when working across multiple sites. Reliable, adaptable, and easy to operate, the Octoplus spider lift is proving itself in demanding maintenance and renovation projects across Europe.
