The Dual Access Platform is a heavy duty, temporary, gated platform to allow access or egress for medium-depth excavations.

Note: If Groundforce’s Super Mega Brace is installed within an excavation, the Dual Access Platform has the advantage of being able to span both the Super Mega Beam width plus the width of a standard Tuffsteel Ladder.

EdgeSafe and EdgeSafe MKII are similar lightweight mesh barrier systems.

EndSafe is a structural steel panel designed to close-off the end of trench boxes and manhole boxes.

EndSafe is used to safely retain the backfill and prevent accidental dislodgement of loose material into the excavation. It also removes the need to improvise with other unsuitable equipment such as steel road plates or timber.

The platform provides access up and over elevated structures, walls or pile caps. The platform is compatible with our Tuffsteel Ladders.

This compact and lightweight system offers the ideal solution for users requiring access into confined spaces where space and height is particularly restricted.

As well as used for Manholes, this versatile system has multiple uses and can be adapted for use in a variety of confined spaces.

The system is designed to facilitate vertical entry and evacuation and is connected to the vehicle’s tow bar. The vehicle itself is then used as a counterweight, providing operatives with a more versatile way of gaining access into a confined space.

EdgeSafe provides a protective barrier to help prevent falls from height into excavations and can be used on short or long continuous runs.

Yes, featuring a fully adjustable jib arm, users have the choice of three work positions (reach) ranging from 770 - 1210mm which provides operatives with a more versatile way of gaining access into a confined space.

Typical applications include: water treatment works, pump houses, filter replacement and works waste.

This system is designed for multiple uses in a variety of confined spaces and applications found on more remote manhole entry points when ground conditions cannot safely support a fall arrest tripod or standard davit arm system

Advanced design and the use of an advanced composite makes this system one of the lightest and most ergonomic systems of its kind on the market. It can be easily transported and then installed by one person in a matter of minutes.

Typical applications include: water treatment works, pump houses, filter replacement and works waste.

The platform sits astride the structure and is firmly clamped centrally in position by 8 adjustable clamps (4 each side) and the range of adjustment is 0 to 600mm: an option to bolt-down into the wall via two side brackets is also available.

If a StepSafe Stairway is required, this can be facilitated by using a Platform Extension that can be directly bolted to the Dual Access Platform.

Typical applications include: water treatment works, pump houses, filter replacement and works waste.

EdgeSafe MKII introduces an additional level of safety by preventing possible uplift of the posts and/or panels due to external forces. EdgeSafe MKII is designed in accordance with BS EN 13374 2018 Class A.

EndSafe also provides an effective barrier to prevent unauthorised access to the excavation.

EndSafe panels are available in lengths ranging from 1.0m through to 5.0m. Panel thicknesses are 60mm, 107mm or 127mm depending on panel size.

EdgeSafe is commonly used on sheeted excavations. It is also used for edge protection on Trench, Manhole and Drag Boxes.

The system is self-contained, incorporating all necessary clamps and fittings.
