Stairway/Platform System

18 At the highest level – the platform. The Stairway/Platform System makes it incredibly easy to design platforms because all types of application can be implemented using the same basic components. Specially shaped Frame Profile 8 120x40 is used to build stairway landings, gangways and working platforms. Panels comprising Step Profile 8 160 or 8 240 are laid in the cutout section. Measuring up to 6000 mm in length, the ridged Step Profiles are used as both steps and as long floor panels in platforms. As a result, Step Profiles can be installed in parallel to form a spacious working platform measuring up to 36 m² in area. The frame and step are installed flush to create a single continuous level, thereby eliminating any potential trip hazard. The Glide Tape applied between the aluminium profiles prevents noise disturbance in quiet areas. Thanks to its Line 8 groove, Frame Profile 8 120x40 is compatible with the MB Building Kit System. As a result, all the accessories in the MB Building Kit System can be attached to it in addition to the guard-rail system. Building full working platforms with enclosures, guards, doors and integrated work stations couldn’t be easier. When using the Stairway/Platform System, stairways and platforms become integral components in one and the same machine base.
