Bespoke / Manufacturing Access Platforms
Manufacturing Access Platforms for Live Production
Our manufacturing access platforms keep factories moving while teams work safely at height. From survey to handover, we plan routes and clearances so conveyors, walkways, and forklifts keep flowing. Consequently, your programme stays on track.
Where Platforms Add Value
Not every task suits a MEWP. Instead, we design fixed or semi-permanent platforms for machinery access, changeovers, inspections, and roof-plant maintenance. Additionally, when headroom is tight or floors are sensitive, we specify lightweight aluminium or GRP to reduce loading without sacrificing stability.
Fast, Clean Installation
Production can’t stop; therefore, we phase deliveries, protect finishes, and isolate only the zones required. Meanwhile, our team maintains clean routes, coordinates with shift leads, and sequences noisy work around breaks. As a result, disruption stays low and productivity stays high.
Our Bespoke Range of Access Platforms Includes:
Mobile Steps Access
Simple, robust steps for elevated areas; fixed or mobile with handrails and kick-plates for safe working at height.
Gantries
Fixed or mobile maintenance gantries for over-line access, including contoured leading edges and awkward offsets.
Machinery maintenance platforms
Machine-specific decks with tool holders, parts trays, barriered edges and anti-slip surfaces; ideal where a scaffold tower footprint won’t fit.
Edge Protection
Platform-mounted or free-standing systems creating enclosed safe zones around open voids, pits and mezzanine edges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need A Bespoke Platform Or Will A Mobile Access Tower Do?
It depends on frequency, geometry and footprint. For repetitive tasks around fixed assets, a bespoke access platform is safer and faster. For occasional tasks, mobile access towers or an aluminium scaffold tower via access tower hire can be ideal.
Can You Integrate Platforms With Existing Machinery And Guarding?
Yes. We design around clearances, interlocks and guarding, providing adjustable work platforms for working at heights that maintain safe distances and access to service points.
Do You Supply Temporary Access While A Platform Is Built?
Absolutely. We offer access equipment hire including mobile scaffold towers, mobile access tower kits and mewp hire (boom, scissor, or tracked spider MEWP) to keep production running.
When Is A Tracked Spider MEWP Better Than A Scaffold Tower On The Shop Floor?
In tight aisles, delicate floors or complex approaches. Tracked access platforms (spider lifts) spread load, pass through narrow openings and stabilise quickly—great for rapid interventions without building larger access scaffolding.
Can Platforms Be Moved Between Lines Or Bays?
Many are modular or mobile with locking castors. We’ll advise fixed vs mobile based on task frequency, aisle widths and traffic flows.
Do You Provide Training And Inspections?
Yes—user training at handover plus planned inspections and maintenance to keep your access platforms compliant and in top condition.
What Does MEWP Hire Cost For Manufacturing Sites?
MEWP hire cost per day / per week depends on height, outreach, power type and whether you need an operator. We quote transparent mewp hire prices and can support local needs (e.g., mewp hire Warrington, mewp hire near me).
How Fast Can You Survey, Design And Install?
We can survey quickly, issue CAD, then manufacture and install to an agreed programme. If timing is tight, we bridge with access platform hire near me, access equipment hire near me or tracked access platform hire.
