Airdeck roof car systems are designed to help access exteriors of a building. A roof car normally mounted at the highest elevation of the building travels along 'I' beam tracks, pipe rails or concrete corridors/ runways. Roof cars are engineered to accommodate long span booms, making it possible to extend the platform beyond terraces or roofs at lower levels. This feature can reduce or eliminate the need for additional roof cars, davits or other primary equipment at lower levels. Airdeck uses a remote controlled hoisting system to raise and lower the platform.

Contemporary constructions are built with complex geometries, making it difficult to access certain areas while cleaning. Such buildings require roof cars in order to accommodate multilevel rigging. A motorized roof car system also provides complete horizontal movement via roof mounted track system or a rubber tire machine. These systems significantly reduce the setup time between stage drops.
