Tracked Access Platforms – What You Need to Know

A stable ground surface is essential for safely working at height and tracked access platforms offer a solution for these unique, but not uncommon, working environments.

Tracked access platforms reduce the risk of working on fragile or delicate surfaces such as interior floors, pathways, and pavements, ice and snow, or sand. The most common types of tracked access platforms are spider lifts which are versatile for use on interior and fragile floor surfaces. Spider lifts can operate in small or confined spaces because they will fit through a standard-sized door or gateway.

Many all-terrain access platforms have tracks as they have to function on delicate and dangerous surfaces such as slippery mud, wet sand, or ice. They are ideal for jobs at height in more extreme off-road locations and weather conditions.
