Industrial Crossover Platforms

The universal 3' x 3' access platforms are infinitely expandable through common bolt hole patterns, which allow stairs, handrails and other platforms to be attached to any side. Platforms are stamped from a single piece of aluminum and feature grip strut slip-resistant surfaces. Suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. Three platforms can be combined to span 9' without platform supports. Longer lengths require platform supports.
Part # 11394 – Weight 46 lbs.

Steps and platforms feature grip strut tread that provides non-slip footing and allows rain water to drain away. Diamond plate tread is also available.
