PRODUCTS
All products are custom welded stainless steel with all stainless steel hardware. The platform material is a expanded fiberglass resin known as Chemgrate. In theory this platform will outlast the manhole itself.
All of these products have been through strenuous tests for fall safety, corrosion, and retrieval.

4 ft. PLATFORM
5 ft. PLATFORM
6 ft. PLATFORM
4 ft. manholes are the most common manholes across the country. Our 4 ft. Platform is state of the art in more ways than one. One huge drawback to the old concrete safety slabs (being used currently) is that they have to be installed during construction. Our platform can be installed through the porthole (manhole cover) in the middle of a street if needed. We designed it so that it can be installed years after construction is complete. No one else can do that.
This 5ft. Platform is for larger diameter manholes. This platform has all the features of the 4 ft. platform except it cannot be installed after construction. Only before.
The 6 ft. Platform is our largest and is designed with a double trap door. This is a large platform but it also has all the features of the 4 and 5 ft. models except you cannot install it after construction. Only before.
