Platform and ladder solutions
Platforms and landings are surfaces that support a person working, or resting’ or just to provide a space for materials used by the person. The definition of a landing is a flat area at the top or bottom, or between two levels. Landings can be either a section of levelled walkway or a designated platform. They can be standard or custom-made, depending on the situation. Platforms and landings can also be required in numerous scenarios for circulation and are an integral part of a roof access system.
You could require a landing for your roof access on the side of a building because your building height is over 6 metres. You could also have a landing or platform inside the building, which is connected to your roof access ladder.
Ladder accessed platforms can provide free-flowing egress in and around ladders.
Servicing plant on high pitched roofs can be quite difficult if you can’t maintain a good sound footing. Simple level platforms can be an effective solution to help provide a good safe work area.
The minimum size of a landing needs to be 900 x 600mm.
We can provide service platforms for plant and equipment on all flat and pitched roofs. Plant includes; communication equipment, evaporative coolers, refrigeration and air conditioners.
Refurbishing existing plant plinths ensures they comply with current standards. This always includes the installation of new access systems, decking and handrails.
