How do machine access platforms improve site safety?

By replacing temporary solutions with permanent, bespoke platforms, you eliminate the leading cause of industrial falls. Our platforms include integrated kick boards and handrails to prevent both personnel and tools from falling to lower levels.

Can these platforms be designed for restricted spaces?

Using 3D site scanning, we can design platforms that fit perfectly into tight gaps or around existing pipework and infrastructure. This ensures that even the most hard-to-reach maintenance points are accessible without compromising the "first-time fit" of the structure.

What materials are used for machine access?

We are multi-material fabricators offering machine access solutions in Mild Steel, Aluminium and Stainless Steel. Finishes can include galvanisation, powder coating, bead blasting and others. If you’re unsure about what you need, then our team of experts are here to help.

Do these structures help with manual handling risks?

Absolutely. We can incorporate features such as integrated lifting arms or specific loading zones to help move heavy components during repairs. This reduces the need for awkward reaching and heavy lifting, lowering the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

How do you ensure the platforms meet British Standards?

All Tadweld machine access solutions are manufactured to BS EN1090 and comply with British standards for safe access and stairs. This ensures the structural integrity required for long-term use in high-risk environments, and maintains the safety of team members using them.

What is Machine Access?

Machine access solutions are specialised platforms and structures designed to provide safe and reliable access to machinery for maintenance, inspection, and repair tasks. Commonly used in industrial and manufacturing environments, these systems ensure that operators and engineers can reach critical components efficiently while minimising risk. By improving accessibility around complex equipment, machine access solutions help reduce downtime, support routine servicing, and maintain operational continuity.
