Cantilever Platforms

Our team was commissioned by a leading biotechnology company to design and manufacture bespoke cantilever access platforms in lightweight, high-strength aluminium.

The brief required a cantilevered rear section on the top platform to provide clear overhang access above fixed equipment, while maintaining excellent operator safety, structural rigidity, and ease of movement.

Design & Engineering Approach

Safety and accessibility were central to the design. We specified durable non-slip tread plate to the main platform and 45° stair treads for confident footing in daily use.

During the concept and design phase, we developed a stable, rigid structure that could be wheeled into position with minimal effort. To reduce any risk of overtipping, ballast weights were integrated into the design, with careful consideration given to both performance and aesthetics.

From CAD to Manufacture

Using advanced CAD software, we produced detailed engineering drawings for client review and approval before fabrication began. This ensured full technical clarity and alignment before manufacturing.

Project Outcome

This project delivered a practical, innovative access solution and established a platform concept that can be adapted for future bespoke cantilever work platforms.

At CHASE Ladders, we provide comprehensive design and manufacturing services for specialist access equipment, working closely with each client to meet exact operational and safety requirements.
