Categories: Stairs & Work Platforms Work Platforms Automotive RollaStep Facility
This transportation maintenance facility in London required a flexible and efficient access system for double-decker buses. SafeRack built a customized RollaStep MP Series mobile platform with stairways and handrails, providing immediate safe and stable access to higher levels anywhere it is required.
In maintenance facilities, safe and efficient access to elevated areas is essential. Permanent platforms are useful, but many operations require additional portable solutions. Whether you are services trucks, conducting inspections, or managing rooftop equipment, SafeRack’s RollaStep MP Series Custom Portable Work Platform excels. Designed for durability, mobility, and safety, our equipment helps teams reach higher levels without compromising on stability or compliance.
SafeRack’s Equipment is Engineered for Safety and Versatility
The RollaStep MP Series provides portable ways to access higher levels in a maintenance facility. Our gear is built from lightweight aluminum, offering industrial-grade strength without sacrificing mobility. Each system uses 360º swiveling locking casters and no-flat tires to allow for easy transportation across pavement, asphalt, or gravel. Every facility has it’s own footprint, requiring platforms that can be customized to fit where they are needed. The modular design of the RollaStep MP Series allows customization for unique facility layouts, making it ideal for industries that demand frequent repositioning.
Common Ways SafeRack’s Custom Mobile Work Platforms Are Used
The versatility of SafeRack’s custom portable work platform for elevated access makes it valuable across a range of industries. A few common types of workspaces that use our equipment include:
- Public transportation facilities: Public sector transportation facilities require stable access to inspect and conduct maintenance on their fleets of buses, trams, and railcars.
- Manufacturing plants: Manufacturing operations use the RollaStep MP Series to access machinery or elevated systems during production.
- Aviation and aerospace: Aviation and aerospace hangers use our mobile work platforms to service aircraft fuselages, engines, and components on a variety of models.
- Warehousing and logistics: Our gear allows workers to safely retrieve or place items on upper shelving levels during day-to-day operations.
- Loading platforms: Loading platforms and racks often require immediate access to inspect railcar or truck hatches or additional gear for facilities rapidly expanding.
The Dangers of Unstable Access Systems
Improvised ladders or unstable work surfaces drastically increase the risk of falls and injuries. Slips, trips, and falls on average cost 99 million lost production days and $70 billion in medical costs to employers across the nation. Between 2023 and 2024, falls to lower levels were responsible for 119,190 nonfatal injuries resulting in days away, reduced, or transferred (DART), and 87,880 days away from work (DAFW). In 2024, slips, trips, and falls were the second leading cause of workplace fatalities with 844 deaths. Investing in safety gear not only saves lives, but money aswell.
SafeRack’s equipment can make a positive impact in preventing workplace injuries and illnesses. Our portable stairways and platforms are built to meet or exceed all OSHA regulations. RollaStep’s MP Series uses features such as a full size 45° rise stair stringer, powder-coated D-shaped handrails, and standardized depths and widths to protect your workers throughout operations.
