These T9 Platforms are available for spot or long term rental. Please contact us to discuss the rental period and pricing.
This is our heavy duty TITAN mobile access platform model T9 which is designed specifically to enable safe access from the rear of vehicles and shipping containers.
When trailers or shipping containers need to be unloaded and there is no loading bay or dock to reverse up to, then there is a potential unloading risk, especially for the first portion on unloading where there is nowhere to stand. This mobile platform with easy use integral steps is designed to alleviate the risks involved. The platform has a tested capacity of 2000kg. The platform deck is from 3mm chequerplate and the integral step section uses high grip punched steel treads. There is a 1m handrail all round the platform and a kick plate. The openings are blocked off with a safety chain as standard, see options tab for alternatives.
The legs are infinitely adjustable and a similar design to Acrow Props used in the construction industry. A threaded collar does fine height adjustment while a pin is inserted in a series of holes to do coarser adjustment. This adjustment allows the access platform to be easily used for different height vehicles. The individual adjustment of each leg also allows the platform to be levelled on uneven ground, or if you have pot holes in your yard!
As standard, the mobile access platform has 4 off 200mm dia polyurethane tyred wheels fitted in a swivel and locking brake castor, each individual castor rated to 750kg. The platform is in a painted finish, blue RAL 5010 is our standard. Galvanizing is not possible with this TITAN platform as the thickness of the coating fouls the thread of the leg adjustment threaded collar.
Rubber Buffer Bumper Strips
Rubber Buffer Bumper Strips
This rubber bumper is a "D" section rubber buffer which can be bolted to the open faces of the platform. This can provide some protection from the forklift mast when in use and also offer some protection for the lorry when the platform is pushed against it. The rubber buffer is 50mm tall and 60mm wide.
As standard, the rubber bumper strip is fitted to both open faces of the platform. If a hinged loading flap is also specified, we drop the rubber buffer down a little - Note though that the flap will not now drop down and hang flush with the platform, it will need to be stored in the raised position.
ForkLift Box Sleeves
Forklift Sleeves for safe movement by fork truck
Full width forklift sleeves can be fitted to stop the access platform from moving or sliding when cornering on a forklift. The forklift sleeves are made from 160x80x5mm box section. Your maximum individual fork width is 145mm. The pitch of the sleeves is 870mm as standard, if you want it different, no problem, just tell us.
Securing Chains for Platform
Securing Chains
We can fit chains to the access platform for you to secure around some part of the lorry or trailer. This will prevent the platform from moving away from the trailer. You will need to look at your procedures, risk assessments and staff training for using these chains.
There are 2 "U" sections welded to the frame to offer 2 different heights. The chain has a "D" type shackle at both ends. There is a hook on the inside (can't see it from this angle photo!) to hang the chain on when not in use.
Lift-off Platform Bridging Ramp
Removable Loose Bridging Ramp for Trailer Unloading Platform
If you are using a pallet truck to move pallets, or indeed are unloading roll pallets, you may want a bridging plate. This loose plate is formed from 3mm chequerplate and has a shallow fold to allow for any small height discrepancies. There are 2 off 12mm rod handles and 2 dividing plates to hold the bridging ramp in place.
You will need the height of the trailer to be reasonably close to the platform height.
Hinged Platform Folding Bridging Ramp
Hinged Integral Folding Bridging Flap
This is a hinged bridging ramp which is permanently attached to the unloading platform. The ramp or bridging flap has a chain on one end which holds the flap up in a vertical position when not in use. Simply push the platform up to the back of the lorry and lower the flap down. Please note though, that the platform ideally needs to be slightly higher than lorry bed. If the platform is lower than the trailer bed, then the leading edge of the flap will be raised up - not ideal.
Gates to Close off Access
The TITAN platform has an opening in the handrailing of 1.5m for forklifts to lift on and off pallets and a safety chain is fitted as standard. We can offer an option of steel gates to close off the opening. The gates open and lie flush against the platform and sit in a catch to prevent unwanted swinging around.
