A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Raised access platform
A raised access platform 1 has a top platform 20 with an edge and a safety rail 30 extending around at least a portion of the platform edge. The top platform has a coverable aperture 24 cut back from the platform edge. At least a portion 35 of the safety rail 30 is movable between a first position in which the safety rail extends over the aperture 24 and a second position in which the safety rail is clear of the aperture. The raised access platform 1 may be used for accessing an aircraft landing gear 81, where a portion 80 of the aircraft landing gear structure is received in the aperture. The height of the platform may be adjustable, and the platform may comprise either or both of pivotable castor wheels and fixed wheels. The aperture may be covered over by a coverplate 25, which may be pivotally hinged or slidably mounted to the platform 20.
