Fixed Coupler Access Platform
- The fixed coupler access platform allows a large work area for any maintenance task that need to be carried out on the train coupler.
- The platform consists of 3 sections, 2 outer access platforms, and a centre bridge.
- The platform can be attached to any support surface available in the facility, often this varies between concrete or steel.
- The handrails are connected to the platform via a hand-tightened expanding spigot, allowing them to be very simply removed and replaced. When removed, storage locations on the outer access platforms are provided to ensure they are misplaced.
- Foam buffering is positioned on the underside of the platform to protect against head strikes when the maintenance team are passing underneath the centre bridge.
- A fibreglass deck was delivered to guard against touch potential, however pending the facility, a aluminium plate decking can also be provided.
Stair complaint access to allow ease of access to the coupler when carrying tools and parts to and from the work area.
The Fixed Coupler Access Platform is a specialised coupler access platform designed for safe maintenance of train coupling systems. This train coupler maintenance platform provides stable access to critical components.
Acting as a rail coupling access system, it also functions as a rolling stock coupler platform, improving safety and efficiency in rail operations.
