Defender™ Platforms

Compliant, corrosion-resistant platforms designed for secure maintenance and access at height.

What are Defender™ Platforms?

Defender platforms are elevated access systems that provide a safe, stable working surface at height. Designed to reduce risk and improve access in industrial and commercial settings, these platforms are engineered to meet the highest safety standards and are a preferred alternative to working from ladders.

Whether you need to access plant equipment, roof areas, or cooling towers, Defender™ platforms offer a compliant and practical solution.

Where and How Defender™ Platforms Are Used

Cooling Tower Platforms

Custom-built to suite your towers and access needs

Roof Access Platforms

Integrated with fixed ladders and guardrails

Plant Platforms

Heavy-duty structural platforms designed to support mechanical plant equipment (e.g. HVAC units, generators) on rooftops

Gap-Bridging Platforms

Designed to span areas where it’s unsafe or impractical to walk directly, such as over ducting or pipework

Free Standing Platforms

Depending on structural and load-bearing requirements

Platform Variations

As our platforms are designed specifically for your site and needs we are able to change out certain features to suit that way your people work.

  • Mesh Flooring – Lightweight and slip-resistant; allows water and debris to fall through
  • Checker Plate Flooring – Solid surface that prevents items from falling through; provides a secure, durable walking area
  • Plywood or Timber Flooring (for internal platforms) – More comfortable for kneeling tasks
  • Toe Boards – Prevent tools, screws, or small items from falling off platform edges
