Mann Developments based the Compact TME on the recognized need for a mobile maintenance system that is easily and rapidly deployed on equipment such as truck-mounted boom cranes or construction-site tower-cranes. The Compact TME was developed for cleaning and painting buildings and surfaces up to 50 meters high. The system is inexpensive and simple to operate and is controlled by a single operator using a joy-stick remote-control box. Personnel need no special training.
The device is ideal for the periodic maintenance of public buildings, and historical or highly ornate building facades which can be problematic in regard to access and surface cleaning. The expenses involved in preparing such structures for the removal of grime can be very costly. The TopMann system – attached to a truck-mounted boom-crane – is perfect for use by municipal maintenance units. In addition to cleaning and painting public buildings, it can be used to clean city walls, bridges, monuments, etc.
The municipality of Paris could meet the challenge of cleaning the Notre Dame cathedral with a TopMann system. In France alone, there are another 10 cities that would immediately benefit in both capital and operating expenses by deploying TopMann equipment.
