Industrial Platform | Handbrake
Explore our industrial platforms, crafted with sturdy aluminium profiles for optimal stability and durability. Featuring a large platform measuring 60x61cm, they provide ample space for comfortable work. All platforms are equipped with safety railings all around and self-closing hinged doors, ensuring safety and security. A toe board adds an extra layer of safety, preventing tools or materials from accidentally falling off the platform.
The generously sized steps, with a depth of 18cm and anti-slip surfaces, offer a firm grip and stability during ascent and use. Additionally, the steps are enhanced with a yellow strip for added safety, allowing for easy differentiation between the steps. Constructed with sturdy steel corner connections, our platforms are built to last, even under heavy loads. Plus, with optional accessories such as tool trays or box shelves, you can customize your platform to meet your specific needs and requirements.
This industrial platform is equipped with an innovative braking system, ensuring stability and safety. With just one simple action, you can engage the brake, causing all legs to lower and firmly plant onto the ground. This ensures that the platform remains steady and secure, without the need to individually lock each wheel.
The beauty of this design lies in its simplicity: a single movement activates the brake, allowing you to focus on your task at hand without worrying about safety rules. A convenient reminder is provided by a safety bracket, serving as a visual cue that the platform should not be accessed unless the brake is engaged. When the brake is activated, the bracket flips upward, indicating that it’s safe to step onto the platform. Say goodbye to cumbersome manual locks and hello to effortless safety with our innovative design.

Industrial Platform with Hand Brake
The industrial platform with hand brake, also known as a mobile access platform ladder or work platform, is a mobile access stepladder specially developed for industrial applications. This platform stepladder is easy to use and features a large access ramp to the work platform, which is surrounded by safety railings. Positioned between a stepladder and a folding tower, the industrial platform is designed for heavy and intensive use.
What is an Industrial Platform with Hand Brake?
The industrial platform is an advanced version of a platform stepladder. Due to its large platform, mobility, and modified construction, it falls into a new category of the so called industrial platforms. One of the unique features of these industrial platforms is their mobility, allowing the platform stepladder to be easily moved around warehouses, storage facilities, or factories. Solutions have also been devised to make the work platform easy to brake without needing to lock all four wheels individually. The industrial platform with hand brake has handles on both sides of the ladder ramp, enabling easy placement of the mobile access platform firmly on the ground in one motion. When the mobile ladder is in the unbraked position, a safety bar on the first step prevents access to the work platform. These thoughtful safety features ensure proper use of the platform ladder.
Safety of the Industrial Platform
The mobile access platform is packed with safety features to make working at height as safe as possible. Firstly, it is equipped with extra-large safety steps that are 18cm deep. Yellow stripes on the steps clearly indicate where to place your feet when climbing. The steps also have an anti-slip profile. The braking system ensures the mobile ladder can be secured in one motion. Wixor makes safe working accessible by providing a standard toeboard over 16cm high on the work platform. This toeboard prevents stepping off the edge and tools from falling off the platform. Wixor’s industrial platforms come standard with self-closing safety gates, ensuring that anyone working on the platform is always surrounded by railings.
Advantages of an Industrial Platform with Hand Brake
Designed for intensive use, the mobile access platform is constructed with sturdy aluminum profiles. The goal is to create a work platform that withstands heavy use over time. The aluminum profiles are connected with steel corner profiles, making the industrial platform extra robust. The absence of welded joints makes the work platform easy to repair, and the steps are attached with specially cast steel connections, allowing for simple replacement. Another significant advantage is the large work platform, measuring 60x61cm, providing ample space for comfortable and flexible work. The platform’s width is less than 93cm, allowing it to easily pass through doorways.
Applications of the Industrial Platform
The mobile access platform can be used in various fields, commonly in areas where the work platform is used intensively. One popular application is in construction, such as ceiling installations and other altitude tasks. The industrial platform can replace an aerial platform in some construction tasks. It’s also widely used in warehouses for accessing higher storage shelves, making order picking easier and safer. In workshops, the work platform provides better access to machines or other elevated products. The transportation sector uses the mobile platform for trucks, trains, and trailers. The aviation industry employs the industrial platform as an aircraft ladder for boarding and maintenance. Lastly, the platform ladder is used in factories and production lines.
Customization
Wixor offers a variety of industrial platforms with different variations to meet diverse user requirements. They also provide custom solutions, such as fixed ground connections or varying ladder inclines. Alternative steps, like mesh steps that allow liquids to drain, can also be supplied. While not mandatory in the Netherlands, self-retracting gates are standard for maximum safety, though platforms without these gates can be requested.
Maintenance and Inspections
Wixor’s mobile access platforms can be delivered as a kit or pre-assembled. The advantage of a pre-assembled ladder is that it comes with an annual inspection, ensuring safe use for a year. Wixor can also arrange annual inspections in subsequent years. During these inspections, aspects like play in railings and steps, step uniformity, and absence of significant dents are checked. All caps and plastic elements must be intact, and the braking systems must function properly.
Purchasing an Industrial Platform
When purchasing an industrial platform, consider the specific conditions of use, such as work height, type of use, and accessibility. Wixor’s range of mobile access platforms offers a suitable solution for every situation, with custom options available. Wixor’s industrial platforms stand out for their excellent price-quality ratio.
