Anti-Slip Step Over Platform - GRP Construction for Pipework & Cable Access

GRP Anti-Slip Step Over Platform for Safe Access Over Pipework and Cables

This anti-slip step over platform provides a robust, freestanding safety solution for navigating over low bund walls, pipework, cable trays and ground-level obstacles in industrial and commercial environments. Manufactured in the UK from high-quality Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), this platform eliminates trip hazards whilst ensuring safe, compliant access in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Key Benefits

• No ground fixing required - Freestanding design allows easy repositioning without installation work
• Superior slip resistance - Quartz crystal bonded GRP grating provides exceptional grip in wet and dry conditions
• Lightweight yet durable - At just 27kg, significantly lighter than steel alternatives whilst maintaining heavy-duty strength
• 20+ year lifespan - Long-lasting GRP construction eliminates ongoing maintenance costs
• High visibility safety - Yellow nosing ensures platform is clearly visible in all lighting conditions
• Chemical and corrosion resistant - Ideal for harsh environments where metal platforms would deteriorate
• Fire safety certified - Meets Class 1 flame spread rating (ASTM E-84)
• Indoor and outdoor use - Weather-resistant construction suitable for all UK climates

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

This step over platform is designed for safe access in demanding environments including:

• Hospital rooftops and plant rooms
• Chemical processing facilities
• Bunded tank areas and fuel storage sites
• Wastewater treatment plants
• Food and beverage production facilities
• Warehouse and distribution centres
• Industrial plant rooms with cable trays
• Outdoor pipework installations
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing areas

Why Choose GRP Over Steel or Aluminium?

Glass Reinforced Plastic offers significant advantages for step over platforms:

• Corrosion immunity - Unlike steel, GRP will not rust or corrode in wet, chemical or coastal environments
• Reduced weight - 27kg makes manual handling safer compared to equivalent steel platforms
• Zero maintenance - No painting, treating or ongoing upkeep required
• Non-conductive - Safer in electrical environments
• Cost-effective lifecycle - 20+ year lifespan with no maintenance costs

Safety Features & Compliance

Designed with workplace safety as the priority, this platform includes:

• Anti-slip GRP grating with quartz crystal aggregate for maximum grip
• High-visibility yellow nosing to clearly mark step edges
• Freestanding design eliminates trip hazards from fixings
• Complies with UK workplace safety regulations for access equipment
• Fire safety tested to ASTM E-84 standards
• Suitable for use in ATEX zones (non-sparking GRP construction)

Installation & Use

The freestanding design requires no ground fixing or installation work. Simply position the platform over the pipework, cables or obstacle to create instant safe access. The 27kg weight provides stability whilst remaining light enough for two-person manual handling. The platform can be easily relocated as site requirements change.

Custom Sizes Available

We offer bespoke step over platforms manufactured to your exact requirements. Whether you need different dimensions, additional handrails, or specific colour finishes, our UK manufacturing facility can create a tailored solution. Contact us to discuss your custom platform needs.

Maintenance & Longevity

One of the key advantages of GRP construction is the complete absence of maintenance requirements. Unlike steel platforms that require regular painting and rust treatment, or timber platforms that rot and splinter, this GRP platform will provide 20+ years of service with no upkeep. Simply hose down if cleaning is required - the non-porous surface resists dirt and contamination.

UK Manufacturing Quality

Manufactured entirely in the United Kingdom using premium GRP materials and proven fabrication techniques. Each platform is quality inspected before dispatch to ensure it meets our exacting safety and durability standards.
