Common system configurations
Stairs
Used for access up to 6.0m in height with change in direction platforms. The adjustable stair treads allow flexibility of platform height to suit supporting structure.
Crossovers
Used for access over ducts, conveyors and machinery. Stair heights are adjustable to suit specific bridge height, with bridge lengths in modules from 1.0m to 6.0m.
Platforms
Used to provide access to machinery and elevated equipment for inspection and maintenance. The size and height are adjustable to suit specific site requirements.
Elevated walkway
To provide access to cooling towers, water tanks and machinery where the platform is required to be custom built and can be free standing up to 6.0m with bracing.
Suspended walkway
Providing access above plant equipment and personnel or into internal ceiling spaces. It can be mounted to roof purlins or concrete and is suitable for drop heights of up to 6000mm.
Cantilevered walkway
Designed to create access to elevated areas where support from the floor or ceiling cannot be provided. The system is mounted onto the wall using cantilevered brackets.
