For a year-long repainting project on a radio tower in Nagoya, a Japanese contractor chose the Bristle Blaster® Ultimate Cordless after a MontiPower Japan demonstration. No power cords on the tower, and spare batteries charging on the ground while operators keep working.
Towers are repainted in sections, at height, often from rope access or narrow platforms. Every power cord is something to route, secure and trip over, and a generator or long cable runs have to follow the crew up the structure.
| Project | Repainting of a radio tower, Nagoya, over one year |
| Requirement | Surface preparation without power cords |
| Tool | Bristle Blaster® Ultimate Cordless with spare batteries |
Demonstration, then the choice
The contractor that won the repainting contract asked MontiPower Japan for a demonstration. The contractor assessed the Ultimate Cordless on performance during the demonstration, and chose it for the project: full surface preparation capability, without a cable.
How the crew works
The crew works with a pool of batteries. While operators prepare the steel, depleted batteries charge on the ground, and fresh ones go up as needed. The work continues without waiting for a charge and without a single cord on the tower.
Why it matters
Repainting a tower before corrosion takes hold is prevention rather than cure for a structure that is hard to reach and expensive to repair. Cordless tools take the trip and snag hazards of cables off a structure where people work at height (People). Battery power with no blast media means no grit falling from the tower onto the city below (Planet). And less set-up per section means more of the year-long programme spent on actual work (Power).
Working at height or far from power? Ask for a demonstration of the Bristle Blaster® Ultimate Cordless.
