GRP Step-Over Platform – Safe Access Over Pipes, Cables & Low-Lying Services

Our GRP Step-Over Platforms are designed to provide a safe, durable and low-maintenance solution for crossing over pipework, cabling, ducting and other ground-level obstructions. Manufactured using high-quality GRP grating and GRP pultruded C-channel, each platform delivers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance and slip protection in all weather conditions.

Ideal for industrial sites, warehouses, factories, water treatment facilities and maintenance areas, these platforms offer a long-term alternative to metal access systems and require little to no upkeep.

Key Features & Benefits

Safe Access Over Obstacles

Designed to bridge over low-lying services such as pipes, conduit and cabling. The platform raises workers safely above hazards, improving accessibility and reducing trip risks.

Durable GRP Construction

Made entirely from glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), offering:

• Excellent corrosion resistance

• Superior strength-to-weight ratio

• No rusting or rotting

• Long service life with minimal maintenance

Anti-Slip GRP Grating Platform

The 996 x 996 mm platform features an integrated anti-slip surface with contrasting nosing on both sides to improve visibility and compliance with safety best practice.

Integrated GRP Modular Handrail

Two 1100 mm high handrail sections (50 mm diameter tube) provide stable and secure hand support. Handrails are supplied laid flat for delivery and easily bolt into the pre-drilled fixings on installation.
