Steel Platforms from SIKOPLAST

A steel platform creates valuable additional usable space within existing industrial facilities. It utilizes the area above storage, production, or technical zones without requiring new building extensions. This is especially beneficial when workflows need to be optimized or storage and technical areas should be more clearly separated.

SIKOPLAST designs and manufactures steel platform systems that are precisely adapted to your building geometry, operational requirements, and load specifications. The focus is not only on creating additional space, but also on accessibility, workplace safety, and smooth operational processes.

Custom-Made Steel Platforms

Every steel platform is designed as an individual project. The construction is strictly based on your operational requirements and the structural conditions on site. The modular design allows the platform area to be expanded or modified later if necessary. Multi-level systems and mobile platform solutions can also be realized depending on the application.

Our experience in industrial plant engineering is directly integrated into every project. If the platform is intended to operate alongside machinery or conveyor systems, maintenance access points and technical interfaces are considered from the very beginning. This ensures that the platform supports operational efficiency rather than restricting it.

From Planning to Installation: How Additional Space is Created

A steel platform only becomes a real advantage when it integrates perfectly into the daily workflow of an industrial facility. For this reason, our implementation process follows a clearly structured approach.

Defining Requirements and Usage

The first step is determining how the platform will be used. Together, we define traffic routes, required access points, and load specifications.

Layout and Structural Design

The platform is planned to integrate seamlessly into your facility. Support column spacing, ceiling heights, and interfaces with existing areas are precisely considered.

Structural Verification

The supporting structure is engineered according to the planned load requirements, creating a safe and certified basis for long-term operation.

Manufacturing, Delivery, and Installation

After approval, the production phase begins. Installation is carried out on-site to ensure the platform is properly aligned and securely integrated into the facility.

Advantages of a Steel Platform from SIKOPLAST

A professionally designed steel platform provides a long-term solution to space limitations. It remains flexible during operation and offers safe accessibility. This becomes especially valuable when production processes change or additional machinery is integrated into the facility.

Key Advantages at a Glance

Technical Features and Equipment Options

Many requirements can already be integrated into the basic planning phase. This includes the structural support system, ergonomic access points, and safe daily operation.

Typical elements of our steel platform systems include:

  • Support structures with customized column grids and cross beams
  • Access via stairs or elevated platforms
  • Standard-compliant railings and fall protection systems
  • Defined transfer points for materials or pallets

Optional Features / Project-Specific Configurations

The following elements are specified individually for each project:

  • Specific load capacities (kg/m²) and possible spans
  • Applicable standards and execution requirements
  • Flooring options such as grating, checker plate, or anti-slip surfaces
  • Pallet transfer stations or secured loading points
  • Surface treatments including powder coating or galvanization depending on the operating environment

Dimensional Information: Depending on the project requirements, support structures can be realized up to individually specified dimensions. Load capacities are always project-dependent and defined according to the intended application.

Service and Project Support

Successful steel platform projects depend heavily on coordination and planning. SIKOPLAST supports customers from the initial planning concept through to final implementation. Future modifications or extensions can also be considered if operational requirements change or additional system components are integrated later on.

FAQ

How is the load capacity determined?
The load capacity depends on the intended use. Surface loads and point loads are defined during the project planning phase and verified within the structural calculations.

Can a steel platform be expanded later?
Yes. If the system is planned modularly, future expansion options can already be considered during the initial design phase.

Are multi-level or mobile platforms possible?
Yes. These variants can be realized depending on the specific project requirements and operating conditions.

Can the platform be integrated into an existing machine layout?
Yes. This is often beneficial when maintenance access or elevated working platforms are required directly within the machinery environment.
