FAQs about Steelwork and Access Platforms
What standards do KMG steelwork and access platforms comply with?
Steelwork and access platforms from KMG are designed to meet BS EN ISO 14122:2016 or other international standards as requested. Designs can be validated with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) when required to ensure strength and stability.
What materials and finishes are used for platforms in different environments?
In dry environments, the steelwork is typically mild steel painted with a two‑pack epoxy paint. Wet or corrosive areas use corrosion‑resistant 304 stainless steel. Flooring options include mild steel with non‑slip vinyl, aluminium checker plate, or stainless steel checker plate.
Can the platforms and access steelwork be customised for branding or site requirements?
Yes. Clients can request specific colours to match branding, including RAL 9003 Signal White or others. KMG also provides detailed drawings and design packages so local fabricators can build the steelwork based on those.
How is modular design used to aid installation and future expansion?
Platforms are designed and built with modular sections for easier transport, handling, and assembly. Because design is modular, clients can expand or reconfigure steelwork more easily as production needs change.
What safety and accessory features are available with the steelwork platforms?
KMG offers a variety of accessories, such as bucket racks for weigher part. Flooring materials are non‑slip in wet or dry conditions to improve safety. Platform design includes safe access configurations and material selections that suit environmental conditions.
