GRP Raised Step-Over Platform – Increased Height Access Solution (210–300 mm Clearance)

Our GRP Raised Step-Over Platforms are engineered to provide safe, elevated access over pipework, cabling and other low-lying services where additional height clearance is required. Manufactured using durable GRP grating and pultruded GRP I-Beam supports, these platforms deliver exceptional strength, high slip resistance and long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments.

Ideal for factories, warehouses, chemical sites, maintenance areas and any location where staff need to navigate safely over ground-level obstacles.

Key Features & Benefits

Increased Height for Greater Clearance

Designed to provide 210–300 mm clearance, these platforms offer a higher step-over solution than standard units. This makes them ideal for bridging taller pipe runs, electrical conduits and service lines.

Robust GRP Construction

Made from corrosion-resistant fibreglass materials:

• No rust or rot

• Lightweight yet extremely strong

• Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications

• Low maintenance and long service life

Anti-Slip GRP Grating Surface

Each platform includes a high-grip, anti-slip gritted top surface with contrasting anti-slip nosing on both sides to improve visibility and reduce the risk of slips and trips.

Reliable Support Structure

Two GRP C-Channels are securely joined to create the increased height range. Pultruded GRP I-Beams provide structural stability while maintaining a lightweight profile.

Sizing & Technical Specifications

• Clearance Height: 210–300 mm

• Overall Height: approx. 248–338 mm

• Platform Surface: Anti-slip GRP grating with contrasting nosing

• Span: The bridging dimension (see below)

• Delivery: Usually 3–4 working days

• Dimensions: All measurements are approximate and may vary due to manufacturing tolerances

Important Span Information

The GRP C-channel used in this design includes a 60 mm lip (8–9.5 mm thick) on both sides.

If the obstruction you are bridging sits directly on the ground or up to the underside of the grating, the usable span will reduce by approximately 120 mm.

Typical Applications

• Bridging over pipework or electrical cables

• Providing safe access around plant, machinery or service lines

• Lightweight podium-style elevation for reaching higher work areas

• Creating compliant walkways in industrial and commercial settings

These platforms provide a long-term, corrosion-free alternative to metal step-over systems, making them suitable for both outdoor and harsh chemical environments.
