The use of gantries and platforms instead of ladders has significantly improved factory safety, reducing the risk of on-site accidents due to manual handling, falls, slipping and tripping. In many situations it is essential to install gantries or platforms to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.













Access gantry systems and bespoke metalwork can provide safe access to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. The bespoke systems can reduce the risk of working at height accidents negating the need for temporary measures. These systems ensure workers safety while completing maintenance or other such tasks on high roofs.
Our team has over 30 years of experience supporting employers with meeting their work at height obligations. As a trusted, expert voice in the industry, we would be happy to help make your site safer today. Contact our team to have your access gantry systems installed, inspected, repaired, or maintained today. Full work at height compliance guaranteed.
The best access solutions are designed with the end user in mind. Ladders are great for certain tasks, but if you’re working in a factory or manufacturing area that’s busy, they are often impractical. In order to carry out certain tasks safely, an alternative is sometimes necessary.
An access gantry is great for external and internal use, because they’re a flexible system with a secure footing, meaning they can be installed in areas that they’re needed most, like ladders, but offer a more robust safety system, reducing the risk for the end customer.
Both access ladders and access gantry systems are brilliant, however, you just need to make sure you’re installing it in the right place for the right job. Our customer service team can help you there.
All roof access platforms and systems are designed and tested to comply with BS 5395‐3:1985 –The Code of Practice for the design of Industrial type stairs, permanent ladders and walkway.
Access gantries must be inspected by a suitable working at height Specialist Company a minimum of every 12 months. Our team can provide this service and even send reminders when your next test is needed to ensure you’re always compliant.
We offer a full fall protection design, supply and installation service for safe access to higher levels.
We can quote from client drawings for any construction projects as well as design solutions for existing problems ourselves. If you require the design, installation, or maintenance of any access gantry system, then our professional team at Altus Safety can help.

Materials available:
Finishes: Powder Coated to any RAL colour according to your needs.
Platforms, gantries & bespoke fabrications can be used on any good quality structure which is capable of withstanding the additional loading exerted by the system. This will need to be thoroughly assessed by an expert installer beforehand.
