This is a piece of equipment that is mentioned in a commercial lease as something that is used in the operation of a building. Of course I know that it is used for cleaning, and I know the usual meaning of nacelle, but I would like to know how to say this in English.

cleaning platform/cleaning scaffold/working platform
Depending on context, could also be "powered platform used in window washing and maintenance operations on high rise buildings." Several workplace safety sites use that term.
