Elevated Walkway Platform, Auction Site
ADJUSTABLE RAMP LEGS RAISES THE WALKWAY
Public Building
Rotherham, South Yorkshire
BACKGROUND:
The company sells Industrial vehicles & plant.
Vehicles intended for auction will park alongside a new check-in building so staff can carry out inspections from a platform.
REQUIREMENT:
An elevated walkway platform with gates to provide the inspectors with access to the lorry trailers.
Wheelchair access was also necessary from the entrance door.
All access systems had to comply with Part M and K of the building regulations.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
CAD drawings were produced from pictures and measurements taken by our in-house site surveyor, and architectural drawings of the building.
The CAD drawings were supplied to the client with their quotation.
END RESULT:
Once the groundworks and building were completed, our installation teamed fitted the walkway platform at the required height with the use of adjustable telescopic legs.
Two gate units were fitted along the walkway’s rail. The gates will allow staff to access the inside of trucks when they pull up for inspection.
A modular ramp and steps units were also fitted. All systems fully comply with DDA and building regulations.
To ensure rigidity under all platform legs, cross bracing was achieved using longer length tubes.
