Our Happy Customers

“Thank you once again for all your help. We installed the cage yesterday and it fitting like a glove.

The service has been fantastic and I would definitely recommend your services to other companies and will be using you again. Simple things like having one person to speak to in regards to the order so I didn’t need to explain things gives a great person touch.

Also thank you very much for sending the spray can to touch up any areas if we scratched them. That was very helpful. Really pleased with the product and service and so is our customer. Thank you. ”- David – MSC Group Property Services

“That is a massive help! I can’t believe how accommodating you have been – it really is appreciated.

These days customer service seems to be a low priority but I am delighted with the service you have provided for us ”- Daniel Whale – SBS Ltd

Description

Description of Tanker Access Platform Steps Adjustable Height

The ‘TopTank’ Access Ladder is a lightweight, mobile, yet sturdy tanker access system offering complete safety and ease of use to operators. It is an economic alternative to fixed installations where access is limited.

Available in counterbalanced or outrigger versions.

Construction

The Mobile Tanker Access Step Units have a robust yet lightweight construction, which are manufactured from mild steel and coated in a hot dipped galvanised. This method completely protects the Unit from any harsh environmental elements, making it suitable for both corrosive and chemical conditions.

The Mobile Tanker Platform Ladders and the safety cage are both fabricated from aluminium, which combined with the body of the Step Unit, gives excellent structural strength and manoeuvrability. The safety cage has a yellow powder coated finish (BS 08E51) for maximum visibility in low light conditions.

For high-risk petrochemical environments, the Step Units can be supplied with comprehensive documentation to give evidence that all components and materials of each Unit fully complies with the latest ATEX Directives (94/9/EC).

Operation

The Mobile Step Units sit in a retracted position when not in use or while manoeuvring the Unit. Once the Unit is in front of its desired position, the height of the ladder can be adjusted using the mechanical winch slightly higher than the platform the operator wishes to access.

Minimum Access Height: 3500mm
Maximum Access Height: 4500mm

The Step Unit can then be moved into position and locked in place using the rubber locking wheels. For uneven or sloping surfaces, the Step Unit has adjustable stabilisers either side to cater for the gradient.

The adjustable ladder is then winched back down onto the platform ready to be used by the operator.

The safety rails and non-slip rungs of the access ladder will assist the operator in climbing the Step Unit safely.

Both Mobile Access Step Units provide the same safe access result, with only the design of the construction being the difference.

The Outrigger Mobile Step Unit has its feet positioned forwards, which can roll underneath a construction, vehicle or other objects the operator is required to access.

The Counter-Balance Mobile Step Unit has its feet positioned backwards, with the addition of a triangle construction either side which acts as a counter-balance when an operator is in action. This design option is recommended when a construction, vehicle or other objects the operator is required to access has a minimum floor clearance or no clearance at all.

Features

Robust steel safety cage over the tanker top

Adjustable ladder with non-slip self cleaning steps and full-length handrails on each side, the top step is extended to safely reach the tanker top

A lower rail provides added protection for the operator
