ummm i See a Ladder Rack descender hahah.it's good but i prefer using Petzl ID or Petzl Stop,i know ID wears out fast but if u take care of it properly it will last very long.. BTW great job dude enjoy..
I gonna be start this work this summer.. i have rock climbed big walls before but never negotiated an edge like that. I am scared shitless already.. any tips on the edge thing?? ( i got level 1 so i done it on a container but this is different)
No helmets? awesome vid though. are you qualified in Sprata or Irata? Know of any companies looking to hire IRATA lv 1? based in south africa at the moment.
Eek I can't decide if this looks terrifying or awesome. That first bit where the guy is going over the edge, my hands are clammy just watching from here!
qualityelectronic thanks ! you can get on the job training to do basic high-rise window cleaning in alberta but some companies like mine want only people with either a sprat or irata rope access training cert. its helps with tricky rigging and is good for overall safety !
Hey man just spoke to the trainer out there and may be going to get my SPRAT and IRATA certifications july, what are the jobs like out there right now for rope access work
Yeah it gets a bit dirty. Just fill it up wherever there is a tap. I usually change my water after every large drop. Or if they aren't too big I just top it up and add a bit more washing up liquid.
Qeustion witch lvl of IRATA do i need to become a high rise window washer? i guess like level one will not be enough but more like Level 2-3 can someone explain?
depends on which country you are in . for instance here in Alberta Canada you don't need any rope access training at all , just fall arrest. you can be trained on the job here, which in my opinion is not good for the industry. luckily for me the company I work for is quite progressive and try to get all their workers certified so we can preform rescues and do jobs that other companies in the city cannot. level 1 is fine for most buildings
He's using what looks to be an SMC Ladder Rack descender. I use one myself for high rise window cleaning. I've heard they're better for taller buildings than a Petzl RIG or ID descender. I've only used the RIG for lower-level jobs
yes as chase said I use a smc rack on most of the jobs I'm on as the ID wears out so fast . most of the buildings I do are 20 story + so its ideal for that .. I always carry a ID as a backup though
Ah understand , but yeah i know helmets are uncomfy , but you know the best way always keep the chance of getting injured low. But it's good made certification . Keep goin'
How's the rope acess industry looking this year,is there a shortage of workers or too many of them? and salary range beginner-experienced? in eastern Canada...
Yeah unfortunately there isn't much regulation in Alberta regarding working at heights. This was taken before we took our rope access course. I'd feel pretty naked without a helmet these days .
Bravooo window cleaning professionnel

Typically, how often do you change out the ropes for new ones?

Justin Rhodes thanks man appreciate it !
Nice vid. What type of rope did you used and how lond are they?
+Corneliu Duciuc , I'm using PMI 11mm rope , two 600ft ropes.
Where do you guys get the water for cleaning? Do you fill up at the top? Doesn't the water get dirty on the way down?
I also want to know if the water gets dirty. Do your cloth applicators also get dirty?
Yeah it gets a bit dirty. Just fill it up wherever there is a tap. I usually change my water after every large drop. Or if they aren't too big I just top it up and add a bit more washing up liquid.
What song is that?
