Platform Features
As the manufacturer, we can design maintenance and work platforms to your specifications… however unique. Because units are prefabricated and bolt together, stairs and platforms come ready to install without needing special tools or equipment.
Easy Installation
Our maintenance platforms are modular and bolt together seamlessly.
OSHA-Compliant
Our maintenance platforms are OSHA-compliant and can meet local building codes.
Reconfigurable
Because the APEX System is modular, ramps, stairs and railings can be reused, added to, and reconfigured as your needs change.
Modular Design
Modular maintenance platforms, stairs, legs, and handrails bolt together without any on-site welding.
Custom Layouts
Our team of engineers will design a work platform layout just for you. Professional engineer stamps are available.
Leveling Legs
Platform legs have 8” of adjustability for uneven ground or ongoing adjustments.
100% Aluminum – Long Lasting
The entire line of APEX products will never rust, warp, or rot, so they are low maintenance and will last much longer than wood or steel.
HPD/LEED/ESG
Because our products are modular, repurposable, and contain 32.5% to 75% recycled content, including 50% to 65% pre-consumer and up to 20% post-consumer recycled scrap, they can help contribute to several LEED v4.1 credits and other green building rating systems.
Slip-Resistant Decking
APEX platforms come standard with aggressive, heavy-duty 3” channel grip strut grating that provides maximum, multi-directional slip resistance. Other decking options are available.
