MHE Roof Powered Systems

MHE is the manufacturer & supplier of building maintenance systems (also known as gondola or building gondola) with proven track record in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan & Vietnam.

MHE’s building maintenance systems (also known as gondola or building gondola) are installed in most of the iconic landmarks around the region, such as Petronas Twin Tower (Malaysia), Marina Bay Sands (Singapore), BNI 46 (Indonesia), Bitexco Financial Tower (Vietnam), KL Tower (Malaysia) and Okada Manila (Philippines). All building maintenance systems are tailor-made based on the iconic buildings’ configuration.

We always ensure that all building maintenance systems supplied by MHE are of the highest quality and reliability. Stringent tests are carried out in the factory and on-site to ensure that all safety features meet local and international regulatory requirements such as the EN1808 code.

The cradle of the roof-powered BMU is lifted and lowered with 2 or 4 suspension ropes. These wire ropes are wound in a single or multi-layer drum type hoist located in the roof car machine housing. The wire ropes used for the roof-powered gondolas are classified as double-active rope suspension systems and a rope safety factor greater than 12 ensures that we comply with the EN 1808 norms.

In case of emergency, the drum hoist unit in the roof car could be manually released and the cradle safely lowered to the landing ground below.

With a wide range of solutions, MHE-roof-powered building maintenance units (BMU) easily overcome virtually any access challenge of today’s increasingly complex building design process.

The main advantages of MHE building maintenance systems are:

• A high-quality drum hoist system with a secondary shoe brake operating directly on the winch drum
• Conductors inside the wire rope to transmit signals between the cradle and roof car
• Simple and safe to operate
• Low maintenance costs
• Long asset life
