Whether you are looking for Aluminium Access Systems to gain access to a building or vehicle, or Fibreglass Access Systems for a non-conductive approach, we have the solution. Our design team is used to solving challenges where working at height safely and efficiently is a minimum requirement. The aim is to eliminate the risk of falling associated with using unsuitable access equipment, to advise and protect employees from injury and to protect employers from litigation.

Benchmarking our products against relevant directives is something that as a manufacturer we constantly aim to achieve. Being able to prove that these products have been assessed to meet high health, safety and environmental requirements gives our customers the confidence that when dealing with Planet Platforms they have a company that is leading the way.

Aluminium Access Systems
Lightweight, strong and versatile, aluminium is the perfect choice for manufacturing access systems to fulfil your requirements. We developed Alutec, our bespoke range of access platforms and walkways, which offer the ultimate in safety for work at height.

Whether you’re working around a vehicle, aircraft, train, in a school or factory, we’ll more than likely have already designed a system similar to the one that you want. With over 5,000 drawings in our design library, there are so many applications that we have already covered, be that a simple set of hop-up steps to complex whole system wraparounds.

Fibreglass Access Systems
Fibreglass is lightweight, strong, versatile and non-conductive, making it perfect for offshore, food, retail or conservation sites. We offer tower systems, platforms and podiums to help with your every need. We developed Protec, our Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) solution for the ultimate in safety for work at height regulations. If you’re looking for Zone One tested, chemical, weather and spark resistant access, then we can help with our wide range of bespoke solutions.

Specialist Access Systems
If you’re looking for Variable Height Access Platforms, Innovative Steering Systems or Pitboard access solutions, we can help. If you need quick, easy access or something more permanent, our bespoke design service can create safe, strong and compliant options to lift both people and product.

Computer Aided Design
We use Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Autodesk® Inventor® Publisher software to create 3D models and technical manuals. Giving customers a highly-accurate visual representation of bespoke work at height equipment is invaluable in the development process.

User documentation is a vital part of customer experience by enabling users to have first-hand interaction with the product, sometimes even before the product is ready for delivery. The Publisher software is intuitive, as in it recognises any amendments made to the original version and automatically updates the end result, logically referenced to the original CAD render.

Inspections + Training
We understand that the use of access equipment must comply with prevalent legislation, service and maintenance. We help clients by providing the complete service that includes training necessary to meet the stipulated regulations, and we have developed a number of safety packages for companies to conform to all health and safety legislation.

Aluminium Walkways
Lightweight aluminium walkway and staging system in one versatile unit. Thanks to its unique reversible design, our walkways can be joined end to end to form a continuous ‘run’, or side-by-side to form a decked area. Suitable for interior and exterior use, it offers unrivalled combinations and uses.

High strength aluminium construction ensures our walkway is lightweight and remains maintenance free, whilst integral toeboards enable it to be used safely. Guardrail posts and guardrails are fitted to provide a safe working environment. They can also be used in conjunction with all scaffold types and towers to form continuous span walkways with up to 9 metres unsupported suspended systems, and we offer widths of 610mm and 1000mm.
