The AdaptaSpan Bridge Crane Access is designed to reduce various risks, specifically when accessing tower cranes. Often, multiple personnel are involved in the task, requiring a solution that not only secures their safety but also enhances productivity. The AdaptaSpan Bridge Crane Access is engineered to be assembled off-site and craned into position, maximizing productivity and minimising installation time.

Constructed from high-strength marine-grade aluminium, this bridge is robust yet lightweight, simplifying transport and setup. Its perforated deck offers excellent grip and drainage, minimising the risk of slips and falls. For added safety, the system is equipped with extra-height guardrails and certified crane lifting lugs, ensuring that the bridge can be lifted and positioned with ease and security.

For bridge crane access from higher up the construction project, our client (Barangaroo Project) needed a bridge that would not only be safe and efficient, but also be able to be craned to different floors.

SafeSmart designed and manufactured this Bridge Crane Access, featuring lifting points for craning, high-grade aluminium construction and winching height, and SafeSmart’s unique hinged, spring-loaded fixing brackets to accommodate any movement or swaying of the crane whilst the bridge is deployed.

Additionally, SafeSmart incorporated a lockable ramp and gate at each end of the bridge to prevent unauthorised access. And mesh sides create operator safety whilst maintaining visibility.
