Stairs and Platforms

Access Points, Platforms and Work Platforms for Safe Working

With our platforms, we offer custom solutions for safely accessing work areas and performing work on vehicles, machines or systems. The platforms we offer include custom assembly and maintenance platforms, simple standard platforms, and footbridges for use in production areas.

mk stairs and platforms are planned and manufactured to order. We take into account the specific conditions on site, such as large heights or the need for extended reach. Appropriate functions are then planned, such as height adjustment, mobile capabilities or integrated rotary joints.
By utilising the mk profile system, we can fulfil virtually any requirement in terms of effective area, travel distance or minimum clearance, depending on the specific application.

  • Mobile designs available with fixed or swivel casters or air cushions

Stairs

Our sturdy and lightweight industrial stairs are made from mk 2040.68, mk 2040.69 and mk 2040.06 profiles. The profiles used in the stairs have a slip-reducing surface structure. The screw connections in the profile slots eliminate the need for machining components.

Stairs can be designed with various inclines depending on the intended function or available space. The recommended inclines for the stairs are based on the type of use.

Platforms

With its four series of profiles, the mk profile system offers nearly endless combinations for constructing platforms. The size of the platforms can vary from simple footbridges to assembly platforms that are 15 m long and 6 m high. Platforms are covered with chequer sheets as standard or with profiles on request. For industrial applications, the platform’s outer contours are equipped with toe kicks in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14122-2. Platforms can also have a mobile design, for example with fixed or swivel casters or with an air cushion system.

Guardrails

mk guardrails can be used in a wide range of applications, and their flexibility makes them ideal for adapting to individual requirements. Our ergonomic hand rail (mk 2040.16 profile) has a diameter of 40 mm that complies with the requirements of the DIN EN ISO 14122-3 standard. Both the connection equipment and the end caps of the hand rails have large radii to prevent injuries and to comply with the relevant occupational safety provisions and applicable regulations.

INFORMATION ABOUT GUARDRAILS

Our lightweight and sturdy hinges for hand rails are always used in combination with mk 2040.01 and mk 2040.16 profiles. The hinges are also available in optional surface variants, such as anodised or painted in various RAL colours.
