The SafeSmart Adjustable Height Work Platform is expertly engineered to address the ever-evolving needs of industries like construction, maintenance, and inspection. Its adjustable nature enables personnel to work at various heights, which is essential for tasks that require precision and dependability, such as fixing cladding to false walls during fire tests.

Branz NZ came to SafeSmart Access with a challenge around accessing fire testing areas for cladding & false wall installs. The challenge included height adjustment to suit various wall heights, increased SWL for multiple personnel access, and needed to be mobile to allow them to move around the facility easily and safely.

SafeSmart Access tailored a bespoke design to the client requirements, all while adhering to the build & design requirements of AS 1657:2018.

Ensuring safety while maintaining efficiency was paramount in the design process. The platform facilitated safe access for fixing cladding to false walls during fire tests, a task that demanded precision and reliability. By offering a stable and adjustable platform, workers could conduct their tasks with confidence, knowing they had secure footing at variable heights. This not only enhanced productivity but also minimised the risk of accidents or injuries, aligning with stringent safety regulations.

Beyond its primary application in conducting fire tests, the versatility of the Adjustable Height Work Platform opens doors to various other scenarios where adjustable access is crucial. Industries such as construction, maintenance, and inspection could benefit from its adaptability to different wall sizes. Whether it’s accessing high ceilings for installations, conducting structural inspections, or performing maintenance tasks at varying heights, this platform proves to be an invaluable asset across multiple sectors.

Crafted from lightweight yet durable aluminium, the Adjustable Height Platform ensures longevity and easy maneuverability. Its manual winch mechanism allows workers to adjust the height with precision, ensuring a suitable and secure working space at different elevations. Safety is reinforced with locking latches on all legs when in use, supporting a weight rating of up to 225kg to accommodate multiple workers and equipment safely.
