Altrad Generation's Ladder Safe Platform provides compliant, controlled ladder access to trench boxes and sheeted excavations. Designed with a cantilevered platform, spring-loaded self-closing gate, and anti-slip surface, the Ladder Safe Platform gives operatives a safe, protected entry and exit point above the excavation, reducing the risk of falls during access and egress.
Available in two variants, the Mini (70kg) and the Collapsible (161kg), both comply with BS EN 13374:2013 Class A for temporary edge protection. Sheet and box clamps allow flexible mounting to trench sheets or the box itself, while levelling jacks and clamping brackets accommodate uneven ground. Integrated lifting points allow safe handling during installation and removal.
Ladder Safe Platforms are supplied fully assembled and ready for installation. Available for hire and purchase from Altrad Generation branches across the UK and Ireland.
