Generators provide an alternative source of electricity when the main power supply is interrupted. They are usually installed on raised platforms, some as high as the roof level, with channeled down conduits and tubing. The location of a generator in industrial and commercial facilities makes the whole setup inherently risky. REDD Team generator access stairs are specially designed to help technicians access generator platforms safely and quickly.
Why Should You Use A Generator Access Platform?
REDD Team manufactures modular generator access platforms for commercial, industrial, military, and municipal facilities. Our products are adaptable to different situations and settings and are designed to allow workers to safely and quickly access raised platforms for generator installation, repair, maintenance, or upgrading. Some of the features of our access platforms include:
- Lightweight construction for easy mobility and handling
- Compliance with OSHA regulations
- Easy assembly
- Anti-skid surfaces
- Easy reconfiguration
- No custom fabrication is required
- Durable, low maintenance all-aluminum construction
- Custom height adjustment to access platforms at different heights
The lightweight construction of our access platforms eliminates the need for cranes, boom trucks, or welding units for installation. You can assemble the platform using regular hardware such as drills and wrenches. In addition, our technicians are always available to help you install your generator access platform.
Our permanent generator access platforms are designed to mount on a smooth, level concrete surface. They can be configured to fit unique access requirements. In addition, we offer our clients the options of stair and ladder access platforms.
Our access platforms feature aluminum tube frames with traction treads for the walkway surfaces. In addition, we can customize your access platform to suit your specific requirements.
Aluminum or Steel?
The two most common platform access materials include aluminum and steel, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. Although both materials have unique characteristics, aluminum access products are more popular for multiple reasons.
Aluminum generator access platforms maintain their strength and flexibility when supporting heavy loads. Aluminum is lighter than other platform materials. In addition, aluminum is rigid and incredibly strong.
Aluminum platforms are non-corrosive. The material develops a natural oxide layer on its surface that protects it from environmental degradation. Therefore, aluminum is used in multiple industries, including mining, oil and gas, industrial assembly lines, retail, pharmaceutical, and aviation. They are also usable in marine environments with high salt concentrations.
Many people install generators outdoors on raised platforms, exposing them to winds and the elements. Aluminum access platforms can resist distortion by wind, heat, and prolonged exposure to the sun.
REDD Team access platforms can be used in areas with snowy winters and humid summers. The thermal conductivity of aluminum means the platforms can withstand both high and low temperatures without compromising their quality. The metal conducts heat well without weakening its structure.
The malleability of aluminum means it’s easy to fabricate into different shapes and configurations. If you require a customized access platform, REDD Team can design and manufacture one that meets your unique needs. The lightweight nature of aluminum access platforms makes them incredibly easy to move, assemble and dismantle. You do not require specialized equipment or tools to install aluminum access platforms.
REDD Team aluminum access platforms are non-magnetic and require little or no maintenance over their lifetime. Our design team can help you design an access platform that suits your needs. We will work with you to conceptualize the layouts, manufacture, and ship the finished product.
