Access Platforms, Landing Platforms, and Catwalk Fabrications and Installations

April 21st, 2010

Although USCO is widely known for the sale of Unistrut framing channel, fittings, and related hardware, we also fabricate custom catwalks and access platforms for industrial and commercial settings.  Catwalks, landing platforms, and access platforms can mitigate fall hazards and provide safe access to machinery, equipment, and hard to reach areas in industrial and manufacturing environments.  The application photos below illustrate examples of catwalks, landing platforms, and access platforms fabricated to customer specifications by USCO.  Whether you are seeking Unistrut framing channel, fittings, and fasteners to design and construct your own catwalk or access platform, or confusion over OSHA regulations has created interest in a turn-key solution, USCO applications engineers have the right mix of Unistrut and design/fabrication/installation expertise to make sure your job is done right.
