Superdeck: Safety, Efficiency and Reliability … Still the Leader!
Preston Superdeck is one of the essential pieces of equipment you need on site to save time, reduce costs and improve safety. The Superdeck from Preston allows you to move material around your site in new and efficient ways. Preston combines superior customer service, unparalleled safety and technical knowledge to ensure Superdeck helps you achieve “Hire Performance”.
Multi-storey construction requires loading platforms designed for the unique requirements of this fluid environment. From the movement of trucks on site, delivery of materials, through to the safe transportation of men, materials or machinery, Superdeck’s performance is unparalleled.
The average 5-storey construction site will require 5 Superdeck units while a 50-storey project can use 15 to 30 decks, but the results are the same:
Minimised crane time for moving materials.
Materials delivered to the right floor, first time.
Improved efficiencies for crane crew and riggers.
Easier removal of rubbish from floors.
Advantage of multiple uses for the same platform.
Improved safety.
We want you to get the best in onsite cost reduction and safety, and the Superdeck will allow you to streamline your processes and provide you with real life, tangible savings.
Installation times of 15 minutes compared to 1 hour for traditional platforms.
Superdeck installs vertically providing a self-supporting structure.
Provides a central point for material delivery – faster for cranes and trucks.
Safe loading and un-loading.
Extending 4.5m out from the building Superdeck provides easy crane access.
Levelling ramps allow easy access for trolleys and pallet trucks.
Case Study - Luxury made simple
Aligning our robust loading platforms with luxury on Sydney’s Hyde Park may, at first, seem far-fetched. However, The Residences, Hyde Park, by Hutchinson Builders is finding a perfect match in the Superdeck system.
This existing high rise building in Sydney’s CBD, requires the existing structure to be stripped and for the un-wanted material to be removed efficiently and quickly. Hutchinson Builders are then required to add extra levels to the structure, and complete the fit out of the building.
The project is based on a tight time frame, reasonable budget constraints, and of course, a tight working environment.
Hutchinson Builders “went with what they know”, according to Michael Petracca, General Foreman on the project. “From Preston Group we expect great service, on time delivery of equipment and the right resources for the job, and that’s what we get”, he says.
The supply of Superdeck retractable loading platforms is allowing Michael and Hutchinson Builders to strip multiple floors at one time. As the project progresses the prompt delivery of Superdeck units to site will continue to allow the same multiple floors to have the fit-out materials delivered safely, efficiently and with minimum crane usage.
The Residences is a proud project and the ability of Hutchinson Builders to save time, money and resources through the use of Preston Superdeck is a testament to the simple operation and function of our retractable loading platforms.
