Reliable Hoisting Solutions for a Striking Addition to the Paris Skyline

Project Overview
Located at the corner of Rue Bruneseau and Boulevard du Général-d’Armée-Jean-Simon, Tours Duo is a mixed-use development that includes offices, retail spaces, a hotel, and a skybar. With a height of 180 meters, Tour Duo 1 is the third tallest building in Paris, matching the height of the forthcoming Tour Triangle. The project was delivered in 2021 and has become a new architectural landmark in the city.

Customer: BATEG – VINCI Construction France
Segment: High-rise mixed-use
Status: Completed

Challenge
The construction of two high-rise towers in a dense urban setting required a vertical access solution that could handle high transport volumes, ensure site safety, and operate reliably over an extended period. The challenge was to support the movement of both personnel and materials efficiently, while adapting to the evolving structure of the towers.

RAXTAR Solution
RAXTAR provided two high-performance hoists to support the construction process:

RX3050 – Designed for heavy-duty vertical transport

RX2550WB – Equipped with a lifting speed of 54 m/min, ideal for fast and safe access

These hoists were selected for their durability, speed, and modular design, ensuring smooth operation throughout the build.

Outcome
The RAXTAR hoists contributed to the successful delivery of the Tour Duo project by:

↗ Enabling efficient vertical transport across both towers

↗ Supporting safe and reliable logistics

↗ Operating consistently over the multi-year construction timeline
