Suitable for industrial and commercial environments, Glass Reinforced Polymer(GRP) access platform systems are designed to comply with all relevant standards such as BS 4592 & Eurocomp and provide a safe, maintenance free and cost-effective alternative to metal or wooden structures.

GRP is perfectly suited to interior, exterior and aggressive environments where industrial chemicals or acid/salt air may quickly degrade other structures. Commonly incorporated into new build & refurbishment designs alike, such structures have shown proven in-service performance for 50+ years.

A typical composite platform construction would comprise the following:

• Horizontal platform frame
• Open mesh or covered GRP grating walking surface
• Protective GRP handrail system (including optional kicker plate)
• Structural columns
• Frame and column bracing

Access to the platform may be by means of:

GRP staircase with the following elements:

• Stringers
• Open mesh or covered stair treads with bolted fastenings
• Handrail system (top & mid rail, kicker toe plate)
• Wall/floor fixings/supports

– or –

GRP ladder with a combination of the following elements:

• Straight ladder
• Safety cage
• Safety gate
• Landing platform
• Wall/floor fixings/supports
