This is where SafeSmart comes in, with a rolling platform range that can help you to gain access to heights more safely and efficiently. Also featured in this range is our Super Trestle system, which can be easily carried by hand and redeployed in seconds.
Our portable work platforms are designed and made by use from high tensile aluminium and are compliant for use within the global territories we supply to.
In many industries, there are situations that require a better height access solution than that of a standard ladder, but at the same time do not warrant the use of a motorised system. That is where our temporary and portable platform solutions come in, suitable for short-term jobs that require a multifunctional option that can be taken up and down with ease.
Many industry-specific situations require specialty equipment to meet the demands of the workplace and WorkSafe Health and Safety requirements. The risks surrounding working at heights are formidable and require extensive safety measures to mitigate any hazards.
The Work Health and Safety (Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces Code of Practice) Approval 2020 has extensive guidelines that persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) must follow in order to successfully and safely undertake construction projects. This means if working on the ground is not possible for your worksite, finding a level surface like mobile work platforms that provide even work surfaces and slopes to hold workers and their tools is one of the preferred and safe alternatives. It is essential that these raised platforms have handrails to protect from further falls, as having a physical barrier to prevent workers from falls is an excellent way to reduce hazards and risk of injury.
As SafeSmart Access, we are dedicated to supplying worksites with safe and efficient rolling and mobile temporary platform solutions for short-term or dynamic tasks performed at various heights. Our rolling and mobile platforms offer versatile solutions designed for a range of industries, including but not limited to mining, maintenance, aviation, transportation, and industrial manufacturing.
SafeSmart’s range of safety work platforms caters to any situation, whether you need an adjustable platform for working on maintenance projects, or for fast-changing construction sites. All of our products meet AS/NZS 1657:2018 and 1576:2018 requirements, with a summary of our leading-edge rolling and mobile access platforms below.
Our comprehensive train servicing platforms are adaptable, able to be used for different areas of train servicing. The high-tensile aluminium work platforms have deep grip-tread steps for maximum outdoor grip and full guardrails and safety gates. Equipped with wheels and large pneumatic castors to enhance movement across rail lines, they can be moved easily around any worksite. Please view the guide for how this design can be modified to best fit your worksite.
Highly flexible to any situation, this platform is designed to suit the high-stress environment in rail maintenance as well as provide the level of safety required to work in a dangerous workplace. Portability is the central focus of this platform on wheels, with 200mm swivel castors ensuring ultimate mobility. The reversible guardrails offer adaptability to a fast-paced workplace that requires engagement with multiple different maintenance issues, and we have counterweights incorporated into the design to provide improved stability with multiple workers moving around the platform.
All of our rail platforms are designed with safety in mind, and the Locomotive NVAC Platform is no different. The dual level design allows workers to access two levels of maintenance simultaneously, with a smart design that connects a mobile cantilever platform with custom guardrail frames. Manufactured to AS/NZ 1665, AS 1658:2018, AS 1734, and AS/NZ1866 standards with surfaces made with perforated and swaged plate decking for ultimate grip and longevity, this mobile platform ensures the highest level of safety for workers.
Designed to be the ideal safety platform for crane access, this platform is designed with the highest safety considerations in mind. It reduces the need for repositioning by providing reliable access points, designed specifically to fit between crane stabilisers. It protects riggers, dogmen, and operators around sites where crane maintenance, operational setup, and industrial warehousing make narrow workspaces and routine checks unsafe.
When unsure which adjustable work platform to choose for your site, there are a number of key considerations to keep in mind.
Ensure your portable work platform can reach the height required for the job. Once you have determined the maximum height, you can customise the platform to your specific measurements. Or, opt for our adjustable options if you think the heights may change intermittently.
When choosing a platform, it is crucial to consider the weight limit that meets the optimal safety requirements of your workers. Think of the combined total weight of workers, equipment, materials, and any other personnel that may be required to use the work platforms.
Consider options that can fold down for ease of storage for mobile worksites, like our DeskSurfer Maxi Desk Surfer Platform which can be folded up and transported by car or van.
Dynamic workplaces all need different safety features. While all of our adjustable height work platforms follow stringent Australian and New Zealand safety requirements, more specific safety features might include secure access, self-closing swing gates like on our Locomotive HVAC Platform Access or counterweights to support heavier loads as evident in our Extended Reach Dozer Platform.
Supplying your worksite with SafeSmart rolling and mobile height access solutions is the first and most crucial step towards ensuring the safety of your staff.
We understand the ins and outs of your industries needs, specialising in custom-made designs to optimise safety and enhance efficiency in a range of construction, maintenance, and industrial applications.
At the end of the day, you can rest easy knowing you have equipped your worksite with industry-leading, high-quality, safe and secure access platforms.
