Fixed Access Platforms

Heightened safety at working heights with Fixed Platforms

Do you frequently need to reach an elevated workspace, such as machinery, racking, shelves, large equipment, or vehicles? Is there a work-at-height area with limited access or task-specific requirements? Working at heights is inherently hazardous, and falling from even a short distance could cause an injury that upsets the employee’s life and disrupts the workflow and productivity of your business. 

From the main floor to the rooftop, FlexDecks fixed access work platforms with OSHA-compliant guardrails are engineered and fabricated to give employees a stable work stand that enables them to do their jobs efficiently with confidence in their well-being. Fixed access platforms are safer and more versatile than ladders. They are ideal for work areas accessed regularly or require a special configuration to meet unique needs. With 35+ years of experience designing and manufacturing platforms,

FlexDecks has the expertise to provide a portable, work-at-height platform for your business. Our dedicated team of FlexDecks professionals will evaluate what you need and propose a satisfying solution to help keep your workers safe and productive.

Modular

FlexDecks access platforms are built from pipe-fitted components with steps and platform treads in standard, OSHA-specified sizes. This modular design enables us to engineer a platform—from the simple to the complex—that integrates seamlessly into your workspace. They install easily without welding or drilling and can be reconfigured if your work-at-height access needs to change.

Robust

Constructed of anodized aluminum or galvanized steel for long-lasting strength and corrosion resistance, FlexDecks fixed work platforms are load-tested to guarantee stability and safety during use. They will provide years of trouble-free service even under harsh conditions, such as outdoors or in difficult environments (e.g., chemical, mining, marine, wastewater, or power plants).

Anti-Slip

Every FlexDecks access platform features anti-slip treads for its steps and platform decks that are self-draining and anti-bounce to provide a sure-footed working surface. Treads are offered in aluminum or nylon for strength and corrosion resistance. OSHA-compliant guardrails offer added slip-and-fall protection.

Our fixed work platforms can be designed to suit any requirement where off-the-shelf fabricated platforms are not practical, and ladders or towers are inappropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fixed access platforms are typically deployed in permanent installations, such as for accessing utility equipment, aircraft within hangars, or elevated industrial areas where consistent, everyday access is required.

Our fixed platforms are engineered with non-slip surfaces, robust guardrails, and secure anchoring systems to prevent falls and ensure stability. They are designed to comply with OSHA and other applicable safety regulations.

Yes, our engineers specialize in custom solutions. We can design and fabricate fixed platforms to precise dimensions, integrate with specific equipment, or navigate complex layouts, ensuring safe and seamless access for your team.

Our platforms are built with durable, lightweight 6061 aluminum (or similar strong grades) that resists corrosion. The walking surfaces feature anti-slip, self-draining aluminum treads for excellent grip, and we also offer other decking options.

A brief visual check before each shift is a good practice. Monthly inspections should be more in-depth, and a thorough annual inspection performed by a professional is recommended to detect any potential issues and maintain safety.

Fixed platforms are the optimal choice for permanent access requirements, offering superior stability and seamless integration with your facility’s infrastructure. They are ideal for consistent, high-traffic usage scenarios. Anchoring a fixed platform will more easily satisfy tip over/stability requirements and may require a smaller footprint than an equivalent mobile platform.

Modular fixed platform designs enable quicker installation and accommodate future modifications or expansions. This approach offers a practical way to adapt your platform as your operational requirements change.

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive services, including initial consultations and professional installations, to ensure your fixed platform remains safe, compliant, and performs optimally throughout its intended lifespan.
