Follow-up Details
Vehicle Decal Installation Mobile Platform
Each platform in this series was purpose-built for a specific stage in our customer’s manufacturing process. Each unique design characteristic was engineered to provide the user with safe and efficient access to the area of concern.
Locking caster wheels enable this platform to be rolled into position and secured against a vehicle or structure. An open bay concept incorporating a dropdown deck design provides the user with unrestricted access to the working area at multiple levels.
Designed with the goal of maximizing safety for all users, this platform features a three-step stair with anti-skid tread, diamond plate #4 on both working deck levels, self-closing safety gate and a top-mid guardrail on the remaining sides.
Rear Vehicle Access Mobile Platform
This mobile platform was engineered and purpose-built for an application at the rear of the vehicle. The design incorporates many of the same characteristics as other platforms in the series, while incorporating a lower storage deck and top-mid guardrail on all sides.
Reinforced floor plate support framing, matched with mounted stomp-feet plates on each corner, provide the user with a maneuverable platform that can be quickly converted into a fixed station with drastically improved loading capacity for heavy-duty maintenance and labor intensive applications.
Front Wiper Installation Mobile Platform
From the platform dimensions and ladder access, to the reinforced superstructure and integrated toe-board, each unique design characteristic of this platform was engineered with a specific task in mind and optimized to provide the user with safe and efficient access to the area of concern.
Locking caster wheels enable this platform to be rolled into position and secured against a vehicle or structure. An open bay concept incorporating a windshield angled guardrail provides the user with unrestricted access to the working area at the front of a vehicle.
Counter-Weighted Mobile Platform with Dual Stair Access
Each platform in this series was purpose-built for a specific stage in our customer’s manufacturing process. Each unique design characteristic was engineered to provide the user with safe and efficient access to the area of concern.
This platform features two special-engineered bumper clamping plates and an independent lower-level platform 24” wide x 30” long. Counterweights which are centered under each of the side access steps provide increased stability while maneuvering heavy loads.
