Solar Platform 6’6” (w/standard gates)
The Solar Platform is purpose designed with the help of the solar industry.
Safer Alternative to Scaffolding
Our Solar Platform has been specifically designed for smaller, typically thermal solar, jobs, to gain safe access up to roof level, and giving a cost effective alternative to hiring in scaffolding for each job. The Solar Platform will offer the installer a certified, fully guarded work station, in a matter of minutes.
Configurable
The Solar Platform is a 6.6" (2 m) long platform on adjustable telescopic legs, it’s built on the ground and then easily lifted into place, ensuring complete safety at all times. 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-Dec can be transported in either a transit type van or an estate car, and can be installed and ready to start work in less than 10 minutes, a huge time saving advantage over traditional scaffolding.

Additional Info
The Solar Platform is perfect for the smaller installation jobs, but still has a complete range of modular accessories, so you'll always have the perfect solution. Whilst the standard leg (11' - 18' [3.3 m - 5.5 m]) is used with the platform, alternative leg lengths are also available (see above) enabling you to cover the majority of properties. The Rolling Window Bar provides a continuous platform support for load distribution. Particularly useful on claddings, tile hangings, rendered substrates and where the platform is to be positioned over window openings. Finally, with the addition of clever 'winged' gates an extra 5.9" (1.8 m) of edge protection is given. The system copes with uneven or sloping ground as each leg is individually height adjusted in increments of 1.2" (30 mm).
A Solar Panel Bridging Ladder that compliments the Solar Platform is also available, please see additional leaflet.
Prior to use a full on-site risk assessment must be carried out, and in some circumstances the Solar Platform must be tied into the structure.
