What to Look for in GRP Access Platforms

Installing a GRP platform is an excellent way to improve access and safety for your staff in various environments. While selecting a cheaper, off-the-shelf option may seem convenient, it often does not meet specific requirements effectively.

At Ezi Klamp, our customised Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) platforms offer numerous advantages over traditional materials like steel and aluminium. Here are some critical aspects to look for:

Durability and Maintenance

• Corrosion Resistance: Our GRP platforms are highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for harsh industrial environments such as chemical plants and coastal areas. Unlike steel, which can rust, or wood, which can rot, GRP remains unaffected by moisture and chemicals​​​​.
• Low Maintenance: Our GRP platforms require little to no maintenance compared to their metal counterparts, which need regular upkeep to prevent corrosion and wear​​. This low maintenance translates into long-term cost savings.
• Longevity: GRP platforms are known for their long-lasting nature, with some platforms remaining functional for over 50 years​​

Safety Features

• Anti-Slip Surface: One of the primary safety benefits of our GRP access platforms is their anti-slip surface, which provides excellent traction even in wet or oily conditions​​​​. This feature significantly reduces the risk of slips and falls in the workplace.
• Non-Conductive Properties: GRP is non-conductive, making it safe for use near electrical installations, reducing electrical hazards and stopping the need for additional safety measures like earthing​​.
• Ergonomic Design: Our GRP access platforms are designed with an ergonomic top rail, ensuring comfort and support during use.

Customisation and Flexibility

• Bespoke Solutions: At Ezi Klamp, we tailor our GRP platforms to specific requirements, accommodating various industrial applications such as railway walkways, wastewater treatment works, and offshore oil access​​. Our bespoke design services ensure that the platforms fit seamlessly into existing structures and meet unique working needs.
• Modular Design: Our prefabricated modular components allow for quick and easy assembly on-site, minimising downtime and disruption to operations​​.
• Variety of Options: We offer customisable options including grating stairs, landings, safety handrails, kick plates, and different colour finishes.​​​​.

Lightweight and Easy Installation

• Ease of Handling: The lightweight nature of our GRP makes transportation and installation easier and more cost-effective. It reduces the load on supporting structures and facilitates rapid deployment​​, which can be a game changer in busy or hard-to-reach areas.
• Simple Installation: Our GRP platform’s modular design means they can be quickly assembled on-site​​ by a smaller team.
