Platform Walkways

The FMA Range of platforms and walkways allow for personnel to work on and access upper levels of industrial machinery, process equipment, tanks, and buildings. They can include pre-fabricated structures such as work platforms, catwalks (with grates), railings, stairways, treads, diamond or texture plates, and anti-slip materials. Most platforms are constructed from 304 Stainless Steel or Carbon Steel, and other materials upon request and approval. Steel walkways are used mainly in factories, plants, and processing facilities. Metal platforms and walkways are heavier but can handle greater loads.

FMA platforms and walkways vary in terms of component and specifications and features, Plates come in standard width and lengths, but can also be cut to size. Products with the diamond shaped openings have serrated teeth in order to provide a slip resistant surface that is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use for example with Infeeders or lifting equipment. Diamond treads are self cleaning and self-draining. They have a long life-capacity and openings that can catch items such as tools. Textured plates and surface-roughened treads have larger, diamond-shaped openings. They are made from thicker materials for high loading applications. Platforms and walkways with round, de-bossed holes allow fluids, mud, chips and other debris to drain away. Work platforms and catwalks with smaller holes are well-suited for plants, factories and processing facilities in which oil and grease pose a risk of accidents.

FMA Can custom manufacture a platform or walkway but these are usually included with turnkey solutions.
