A bubble wrap manufacturing facility needed a safer way for employees to reach elevated equipment across its production floor. The work required stable access at height, yet the access point could change as maintenance, inspections, and production needs moved between equipment areas.
Safety was the facility’s primary concern. Workers needed a protected route to elevated work areas without relying on temporary access methods or interrupting the pace of a fast-moving manufacturing
The Solution
The facility installed a customized RollaStep mobile work platform. This portable aluminum access system gives employees a stable platform for reaching elevated equipment, then rolls to a new location when the next task requires access elsewhere on the floor.
High-visibility yellow handrails define the stairway and platform perimeter, making the access route easy to see in an active work area. Slip-resistant aluminum treads provide secure footing on each step, while the wheeled configuration allows the facility to position the unit directly at the equipment being serviced or inspected. RollaStep mobile platforms combine aluminum construction, non-slip walking surfaces, handrails, and mobility for industrial elevated-access applications.
The Results
- Created a dedicated, stable access point for employees working at elevated equipment.
- Added high-visibility yellow handrails and slip-resistant aluminum treads to support safer movement on and around the platform.
- Allowed workers to roll the platform to the equipment location where access was needed.
- Supported equipment access and workflow in a busy bubble wrap manufacturing environment without requiring fixed stairs at each work area.
Frequently Asked Questions
The platform addressed safe access to elevated equipment in a bubble wrap manufacturing facility. It provided employees with a stable stairway and work platform that could be moved between equipment locations as work demands changed.
The facility used a mobile platform because elevated access was needed at more than one location. The wheeled RollaStep system can be positioned directly at the task, giving workers a consistent access solution without installing separate fixed stairs throughout the production floor.
This installation includes high-visibility yellow handrails and slip-resistant aluminum treads. The handrails create a protected boundary around the access route and platform, while the tread surface supports stable footing during ascent, descent, and elevated work.
A wheeled platform helps workers bring elevated access to the equipment that needs attention. The team can reposition the unit as maintenance, inspection, or production needs shift across the facility. This gives employees a stable access point at the equipment location where the task is being performed.
