This power plant needed a safe, consistent way to reach the control valve. SafeRack installed an OSHA-compliant access system using Metal Tower Supports, Aluminum Ladder, and a Work Platform and Swing Gate
Metal Ladder Work Platform for Power Plants
Power plants and many industrial facilities demand safe, repeatable access to valves, pumps, heat exchangers, and control equipment located at elevated levels. While standardized equipment can work in some situations, these solutions do not match operations that require a unique system for its exact layout. SafeRack combined Metal Tower Supports, Fixed Ladder, Work Platform, Full Handrails, and a Swing Gate to create a complete access system. Our team can work with you to create fall protection that aligns with your workflow.
SafeRack’s Modular Approach for Elevated Access
Unlike welded-in-place or one-piece structures that are difficult to modify, SafeRack uses a modular metal ladder with a work platform and guardrails to configure access around existing piping, cable trays, and tight footprints. Our bolt-together components arrive ready to install, minimizing downtime during outages or upgrades. All our equipment is available and ready to ship today.
Each work site requires its own components. Parts used by SafeRack at this facility include:
- Integrated Fixed Ladder Access: Industrial-grade fixed ladder modules provide vertical access where full stair runs are not practical, while meeting OSHA Standard No. 1910.23, ANSI A14.3-2008, and all other guidelines for rung spacing, clearance, and fall protection.
- Safe, Stable Work Platform: Non-slip tread surfaces and engineered work platform framing give operators a firm, level surface for inspection, sampling, or maintenance, even in high-vibration environments.
- Guardrails and Swing Gates: Full-perimeter handrails and self-closing swing gate options help maintain continuous fall protection at the platform edge, reducing the risk of “open side” incidents around pumps, tanks, and MCCs.
- Tower Support Options: For higher elevations, modular tower support structures can be stacked and braced to reach burners, scrubbers, or overhead piping while maintaining rigidity and alignment.
Built for Harsh Power Plant Environments
Work sites like power plants and bulk chemical processing facilities expose equipment to heat, moisture, volatile chemicals, and heavy traffic. Weak materials are bound to wear down over time, raising the risk of catastrophic injuries. Your safety equipment must be built to last. SafeRack metal platforms use corrosion-resistant aluminum or coated steel for long service life, even near cooling towers or scrubber systems. Modular design also allows sections to be reconfigured when processes change—rather than torch-cutting and re-welding existing structures. Our customized access systems can serve your worksite for years to come.
SafeRack Can Create a Custom Access Solution For Your Facility
SafeRack understands that every facility requires a unique approach. We are a turnkey operation that can partner with you for each stage of the process. Our Regional Area Managers (RAMs) can conduct free on-site safety walkthroughs to learn areas of safety and efficiency improvement. After learning the obstacles you face, we can configure and ship the components for an access system that is right for you. After installation, we can provide maintenance and safety training to ensure ongoing protection for your team.
