Industrial platforms

Industrial platforms, often referred to as platform steps, platform stairs or access platform, are indispensable in various industrial environments, such as in warehouses or for servicing machines. Below, you can read more about the benefits of industrial platforms, as well as their application possibilities.

What are industrial platforms?

Industrial platforms are stairs designed specifically with safety in mind. This makes them ideal for different working environments and applications. Among other things, the aluminium platform stairs can be used when working in warehouses or for servicing machines. The mobile platforms offers a safe solution when it comes to working at a higher level.

Advantages of industrial platforms

One of the biggest advantages of industrial platforms is improved safety and ease of use. They feature sturdy aluminium profiles that ensure optimal stability. In addition, moblie access stairs are equipped with safety handrails and self-closing wing doors, significantly reducing the risk of accidents. Another important safety feature is the toeboard, which prevents materials and tools from falling off the mobile work platform.

The steps of the industrial platforms have a yellow safety marking and a non-slip surface, which contributes to safety. These mobile working platforms are made with sturdy corner joints, making the platform steps long-lasting. In addition, the industrial platforms feature an innovative braking system, which lowers the legs and prevents the stairs from simply driving away. The advantage of this is also that you don’t have to stabilise the mobile working platforms leg by leg, but instead apply the brake with one simple action.

Applications of industrial platforms

Industrial platforms are used in numerous sectors and for different purposes. In factories and manufacturing environments, boarding stairs are often used to provide access to machines and production lines. These chest stairs enable workers to easily assemble parts and perform maintenance. In warehouses, industrial platforms help reach high shelves and storage areas, making it easy to store and move products.

On construction sites, mobile access platform are used to provide access to different levels of a building or structure. They provide a safe and stable way to work at height. Thanks to the toeboard on the mobile working platform, tools and materials can easily be placed on the access platform without falling off. In the aviation industry, industrial stairs are also often used for aircraft maintenance and inspection, providing safe access to different parts of the aircraft. working platforms are also indispensable in maintenance and repair work, especially in situations where machinery and equipment are difficult to access.

What should you pay attention to when buying an industrial platform?

When buying an industrial platform, also known as the mobile access platform or work platform, it is important to consider several aspects. For instance, it is important to know what height needs to be reached and what load capacity is required. The working platforms chosen should meet the required working height and be able to support sufficient weight, including the weight of the worker and any tools or materials. The material of the industrial platform is also an important consideration. WIXOR’s industrial platforms are made of high-quality aluminium, ensuring sturdiness and safety. The aluminium also ensures that the mobile access platforms are lighter in weight, making them easy to move.

Safety features such as handrails, non-slip steps and safety gates are crucial to ensure safety. For situations where the mobile work platforms need to be moved frequently, a mobile model with wheels and an innovative braking system is ideal.

Safety standards and regulations

Safety is paramount when using industrial platforms. At WIXOR, all working platforms are inspected and comply with EN131-7 standards. The inspection of the platform ladders includes consideration of dimensions, load capacity and safety features.

Maintenance and inspection

Regular maintenance and inspection of the industrial platform stairs is essential for safety and functionality. Perform regular visual inspections to the mobile work platforms to check for wear, damage and other problems. It is also important to keep the work platform clean and free of dirt and obstructions yourself.

Summary on industrial staircases

Industrial platforms are also known as mobile access stairs, platform stairs, and mobile access platforms. WIXOR’s industrial platforms comply with strict safety standards and are thus approved for safe use. Work platform stairs not only provide a safe and efficient way to work at height, but also improve accessibility and productivity in the workplace. When choosing the right platform ladder, it is important to consider several factors, such as height, load capacity, material and safety features. By carrying out regular maintenance and inspection, you can ensure that the industrial platform is always in optimal condition ensuring safety. Mobile access platforms are suitable for professional use and for many applications, such as work in manufacturing, warehouses, construction or other sectors. Choose wisely, maintain regularly and work safely with the right work platform ladder to suit your specific needs.
