Solar Platform 6’6” (w/winged gates)
The Solar Access System is purpose designed with the help of the solar industry.
Safer Alternative to Scaffolding
Our Solar Access System has been designed to gain safe access up to roof level, releasing installers from dependence on scaffolding, and offering them a safe stable working platform combined with certified edge protection.
Configurable
The Solar Access System comprises of 2 telescopic Decs and a Catwalk, which will provide an 26" or 33' (8m or 10m) long working platform, or further Decs and Catwalks can be added to provide a limitless modular system. The system also includes a rolling window bar, strap operated legs and a purpose designed hoist for lifting solar panels to roof level.
Portable
The Solar Access System can be transported in either a transit type van or on a roof rack, and can be installed and ready to start work in under 30 minutes, leaving you able to arrive, install and leave a site, on a strict schedule.
Features:
Cost effective alternative to scaffolding
- No tools assembly feature
- Quick and simple to construct
- Height adjustable in seconds
- Can easily span obstacles (eg. conservatories)
- Lightweight and compact: easy storage and transportation
- Purpose designed hoist for lifting solar panels to roof level
- Independently adjustable legs to cope with uneven or sloping ground
- Flexibility to quickly change work locations
Additional Info
The modular system overcomes an array of installation problems with a range of accessories to give complete control over your installation. Whilst the standard leg (11' - 18' [3.3 m - 5.5 m]) is sold as part of the system, alternative leg lengths are also available (see Techincal Specification) enabling you to cover the majority of properties. The Catwalk is a standard 4.6m but a 6.6m length is also available and both are supplied with an intergral handrail system and toe boards. Where restrictive access precludes the use of the standard 6.6' (2m) Dec, a single leg support can be used. Designed to provide access where boundaries or projecting structures restrict normal platform use. The Rolling Window Bar provides a continuous platform support for load distribution. Particulary useful on claddings, tile hangings, rendered substrates and where the platform is to be positioned over window openings.
A Solar Panel Bridging Ladder that compliments the Solar Access System is also available.
Prior to use a full onsite risk assessment must be carried out, and the Solar Access System must be tied into the structure.
