Catwalks and platforms are used to provide personnel access to many locations in a facility. Exterior applications generally require open style grating with an aggressive traction surface. Interior installations typically utilize either open expanded metal catwalk or formed deckplate designs.
Stairs are rapidly becoming required as the primary means of access to equipment platforms and conveyor catwalks. Standard stair configurations consist of horizontal stair treads bolted between fabricated or structural steel stringers, with integral handrail factory welded to the stringer assemblies. Treads are available in either Grip-Strut™, expanded metal, or formed deckplate designs. Multiple tread widths and stair incline angles are available to match specific applications.
Ladders may be used for secondary access or as the primary access to infrequently utilized areas if permitted by local codes and/or insurance regulations. Ladders require very little floor space compared to stairs, and are easily adapted to existing installations. Safety cages, mounting brackets, and other accessories are available to complete the ladder installation.
