At a recent Executive Networking breakfast meeting we presented our experience and expertise in the design, manufacture and assembly of trolleys and platforms and our CAD expertise on designing stairways for industrial settings.
Safe stairs
There are standards that must be met for health and safety for stairs and platforms. They are non-negotiables for this type of equipment.
Have you ever done up a set of stairs and not felt quite right walking up or down?
Bennett Engineering have worked on redesigning and providing new designs for stairways for difficult to access areas on several occasions. One of the major benefits we provide to industrial settings is that we can model up the surroundings enabling us to give a good solution for how to incorporate safe to use stairs into your area.
Our stairways solutions really are a turnkey offering from Bennett Engineering.
Perfect platforms
Let’s break this down; we provide the platforms that are required for stairways plus the types of standalone platforms needed for maintenance access.
Platforms associated with stairways
Platforms within stairway settings are often ill thought out on the standards they need to meet alongside the obstructions that platform legs often present.
Understanding the setting again is imperative from understanding the use of the platform (number of people, the equipment on there etc) to what you are mounting the platform legs onto or into.
The environment for the platform is also important so that the best flooring is selected (could be open mesh or chequered plate for example).
Standalone platforms
Sometimes a maintenance team struggles to access equipment or areas that require work to be carried out. In these instances, Bennett Engineering provide the design and manufacture of a solution that is safe to use and suitable for the work being carried out. Whether it’s a small stool type solution through to wrap around solutions.
Terrific Trolleys
Basic trolleys, complex trolleys, adapting trolleys, assessing loads on trolleys. We like trolleys of any type!
Trolleys are used everywhere to move materials, products etc around a workplace. Bennett Engineering have designed many different types of trolleys over the years, here’s what our considerations are:
- Safe working load
- Operating environment
- What trolley is moving around on (flooring etc)
- Size and shape best suited to work
- Purpose of the trolley
Over the years Bennett Engineering have created designs and sometimes manufactured the following types of trolleys:
- Scrap collection trolleys
- Calibration trolleys
- Medical trolleys
- Universal trolleys
- Product trolleys
- Raw material feed trolleys
Our area of expertise is understanding materials but more importantly the operation of castors as well as the right castor for the weight, workplace and work ability of trolleys.
We can produce options, proposals, full detailed design packs and the manufacturing of stairways, platforms and trolleys for businesses whatever you need your trolley for, wherever your stairways need to go and whatever platform.
All this before we start talking about mobile stairs….. which is a whole other blog!
