Fixed Crossovers

Fixed crossovers to traverse large obstructions

Do your maintenance workers have to contend with significant obstructions on the rooftop, such as ductwork, cables, pipes, conduits, gaps in the roof, parapets to scale, or a change in roof levels?

Trying to climb over or crawl under these obstacles is dangerous to your people and can damage building services equipment. Crossover platforms from FlexDecks provide a bridge for workers to traverse the rooftop or other areas in your facility safely and more efficiently.

Crossover platforms feature a modular, flexible design that adapts to your specific requirements—for example, crossovers can have two different stair heights. They are freestanding and non-penetrating, suitable for all roof types, and have bases (or slip sheets) to protect the roof’s surface. Standard widths are 2 ft., and a maximum height of 10 ft. is recommended; however, a custom-engineered platform can be designed and delivered if you have extraordinary challenges.

Anti-slip

All FlexDecks fixed crossovers feature anti-slip treads that are self-draining and non-bounce to provide a sure-footed walking surface. They are load-tested to guarantee stability and safety during use. OSHA-compliant guardrails are fitted to stairs and walkway platforms, providing added slip-and-fall protection.

Robust

Crossover steps and platform decks are constructed from glass-reinforced nylon or anodized aluminum. Frames and guardrails are built from galvanized steel or aluminum. These components provide strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Nylon treads are fire-rated to Class HB of UL94 and will not present a fire risk.

Modular

FlexDecks fixed crossovers’ modular design allows each platform to be adapted to your specific requirements without the typical costs associated with custom-made. Installation is easy using standard tools—no welding is necessary. A FlexDecks crossover platform will fit seamlessly into your total fall protection solution and can be modified or reconfigured if your needs change.

Our fixed crossover platforms can be designed to suit any requirement where fabricated options are too expensive or inflexible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Crossovers are your go-to solution for safely navigating over large obstacles, such as wide conveyors, heavy machinery, or complex piping. They create a clear, elevated path to keep workers safe in tricky industrial areas.

We build them tough with wide, non-slip 5052 aluminum treads and continuous guardrails and handrails along the whole path. The heavy-duty base is engineered for stability, ensuring no slips or falls, and meets OSHA requirements.

They’re crafted from high-strength 6061 aluminum, which is light, durable, and rust-resistant. The walking surfaces use self-draining, anti-slip 5052 aluminum treads for top-tier grip and long-lasting performance.

Look for a wide, stable platform with non-slip treads and full-length guardrails and handrails. Consistent stair rise and run, along with a rock-solid base, are crucial for safe and confident movement.

Do a quick visual check before each use to catch any issues. A detailed monthly inspection of connections and structure is a good idea, and a pro should do a thorough annual check to keep it in top shape.

Absolutely. We specialize in custom designs, tailoring crossovers to the exact height, width, or span needed to clear massive or unique equipment in your facility safely.

Modular crossovers use standardized parts for quick assembly and easy tweaks later. If your facility layout changes, you can adjust or relocate the crossover without a major overhaul.

We do it all. From consulting to design the best crossover for your needs, to expert installation, to ongoing inspections and repairs, we ensure your system stays safe and compliant.
