THE PROBLEM
Our client has a fleet of refrigerated trucks, servicing metropolitan and regional Western Australia. They came to OEM Group for a custom access platform to provide fall protection during routine maintenance and inspections on their refrigeration truck fleet.
OEM Group’s fabrication department worked with the client to come up with a solution, from initial enquiry to drawing approval, to delivery of finished product.
THE SOLUTION
Two customised Steprite platforms were required, one for either side of the cab, to reach the refrigeration motor.
Fabricated from aluminium and featuring a large non-slip work area, anti-slip bull nosing, self-closing gates and castor wheels, the platforms were designed and built with safety at the forefront. The custom platform allows access to all areas of the fridge motor while protecting the person from falling from heights.
This mobile platform is portable and lightweight with a 250kg working weight limit.
THE BENEFITS
A job that previously required ill-fitting access ladders and scaffolding, now has a custom solution for maintenance and repairs. As the access platforms were customised to fit, all that is required is to slide the ladder up to the truck and begin work.
The platform is customisable and suitable for trucks of different heights and widths.
