Altrad Generation's Manhole Safety Platform provides a secure, anti-slip working area for operatives above open manhole chambers during excavation, inspection, and sewer and drainage work. Designed to sit atop precast concrete manhole rings, the platform creates a controlled access environment with integrated guardrails for fall protection, reducing the risk of operatives falling into the chamber below.
Available in three sizes to match standard precast ring dimensions, the 1200mm (211kg), 1800mm (402kg), and 2400mm (549kg) platforms are quick to install and fully reusable across multiple projects. The anti-slip surface maintains grip in wet conditions, and the robust construction supports the demands of active construction sites.
Manhole Safety Platforms are compatible with Manhole Shutters, Backhoe Manhole Boxes, and Double Acting Manhole Braces. Available for hire and purchase from Altrad Generation branches across the UK and Ireland.
