Access Platforms for Refuse Collection Vehicle Maintenance

23rd July 2026

Some years ago we designed and manufactured the first and still the only mobile access platform to provide safe, efficient access to the upper working areas of refuse collection vehicles during inspection, servicing and routine maintenance.

The platform is specifically engineered to allow maintenance personnel to safely access hoppers, hydraulic systems and associated equipment at height, eliminating the need for ladders and significantly reducing working-at-height risks.

Constructed from heavy-duty steel with an anti-slip working deck, the unit features:

• Full perimeter guardrails for maximum operator protection.
• Wide, comfortable access stairs with handrails.
• Heavy-duty lockable castors for easy positioning around vehicles.
• A spacious working platform allowing technicians to work safely and efficiently.
• Robust construction designed to withstand demanding depot environments.

By providing a stable and secure working platform, the design helps maintenance teams carry out servicing more quickly while improving compliance with work-at-height safety requirements. Properly designed access equipment is widely recognised as an important part of reducing risk during vehicle maintenance operations.

The people that maintain these vehicle know the huge risk of a fall that exists without one of these located in the yard, handy and ready to use
