Accessing tall structures isn’t simply about reaching heights, it’s about doing so safely, efficiently, and in line with the building’s architecture. In this context, cradle systems have become a standard part of the vertical access toolkit across construction and maintenance projects.
Designed to support a range of tasks—from glass installation to façade cleaning—cradle systems offer a structured platform that can move workers up and down the sides of high-rise buildings with consistency and control.
At Sea Star Engineering, these systems are more than prefabricated machines. Each cradle is engineered, installed, and supported with a clear understanding of structural demands and compliance requirements. This is particularly important for projects in the UAE, where strict standards for elevated work are enforced across the board.
Precision-Built for Complex Vertical Work
Every building poses a unique access challenge. Rooftop shapes, parapet heights, and façade materials vary significantly from one structure to another. That’s why cradle systems built by Sea Star Engineering are manufactured with flexibility in mind.
Each system is built in compliance with EN1808 standards, incorporating mechanical, electrical, and fall protection features to meet modern safety benchmarks. Attention is paid not just to performance, but to durability, so that equipment continues operating reliably across cycles of use.
For properties that require occasional or seasonal access, temporary cradle rental is available with installation support and operational briefings. These setups are pre-tested for common site configurations, helping reduce planning and installation time.

Rental and Sales Options Designed Around Real Project Needs
Building managers and contractors often face a choice: should the access system be a permanent fixture or a short-term addition? The answer depends on both building function and maintenance frequency.
Sea Star offers both rental and sales equipment for cradle systems, each with full installation and inspection support
Our rental units are ideal for:
- Ongoing construction works that need intermittent access
- Façade installation teams with shifting site locations
- Facilities requiring seasonal maintenance
* Note: Sales packages, on the other hand, are geared towards long-term use, particularly for towers with glass curtain walls or exterior systems that need routine upkeep.
Whichever route you take, the engineering input remains consistent. Every system (rented or purchased) comes with load calculations, anchoring checks, and operator briefing sessions built into the process.
Service, Repairs, and Ongoing Support
Downtime is a real risk when working at height. That’s why Sea Star Engineering also provides cradle repairs and cradle maintenance service across the UAE. Minor issues—like motor inconsistencies or cable slack—can escalate into safety concerns if not addressed early.
The service team is trained to handle:
- Electrical faults and motor replacements
