We have provided our product range to contractors on a wide range of different projects. Here is just a small selection of images we have, showing our product range in situ.

Rapid, Safe Crossover Solutions for Railway Platforms

Our Platform‑to‑Platform Bridge has been engineered to transform how staff and equipment move between platforms, offering fast and secure access across the track. Our bridges are the ideal solution for maintenance, refurbishment, and upgrade schemes, which provide versatility and significantly enhance site efficiency and workforce morale.

Quick and Easy Installation

The Platform‑to‑Platform Bridge has been designed with simplicity, safety, and speed in mind. Its lightweight aluminium construction allows for rapid deployment without the need for specialist lifting equipment or complex tools.

The bridge arrives in two pre-fabricated 4-metre sections, which are easily bolted together on site to form a secure 8-metre span.
Specialist clamps are provided to safely and securely fix the bridge to the platform coper edges, ensuring stability during use.
Each unit includes 1-metre-high uprights and handrails on both sides, offering a clearly defined and secure crossing path for workers.
All components are lightweight and manually manageable, enabling a small team to install the full system in a matter of minutes.
The modular design allows for straightforward removal and repositioning, making it an ideal solution for dynamic or multi-phase worksites.

Whether used during weekend possessions, night works, or extended projects, this bridge provides a fast, safe way to maintain productivity while minimising site disruption.

Key Specifications For Our Bridges

Our Platform‑to‑Platform Bridge has been carefully engineered to meet the practical and safety needs of modern rail worksites. Below are the detailed specifications:

Total Bridge Length: 8 metres (assembled from two 4-metre aluminium sections). This provides a safe span across most standard railway tracks, allowing efficient access without requiring disassembly of existing infrastructure.
Component Design: Each 4-metre section is made from high-grade, corrosion-resistant aluminium for strength, durability, and minimal weight. Sections are joined securely using pre-drilled bolt points, ensuring structural stability.
Load Capacity: Rated for a maximum working load of 320 kg, accommodating two workers with tools or light equipment safely across the span. The bridge has been tested under controlled conditions to comply with industry safety margins.
Total Weight: Approximately 150 kg when fully assembled. Each section and component can be handled manually by a small team, eliminating the need for cranes or mechanical lifting gear.
Handrails and Edge Protection: Integrated 1-metre-high GRP handrails run along both sides of the bridge, offering high visibility and a firm barrier to prevent trips or falls. Posts are spaced to meet safety guidance for temporary walkways.
Grip and Footing: The walking surface is fitted with a non-slip tread pattern to ensure sure footing in all weather conditions, including rain.
Fixing Mechanism: Secure, adjustable clamps allow the bridge to anchor directly to platform coper edges, accommodating minor variations in platform height or width.
Compliance: All components are designed and fabricated in the UK, in line with BS EN standards and RISQS-accredited supplier practices, making the system suitable for use on Network Rail infrastructure and other regulated rail environments.

Our bridges offer a robust, compliant, and highly practical solution for safe platform crossover. For more information or a free and no-obligation price estimate contact us by phone, email or complete the enquiry form below.

Enhancing Site Productivity

Our Platform‑to‑Platform Bridge is not only a safety measure; it's a time-saving asset that can significantly improve the overall efficiency of your site operations.

Faster, Direct Access Across Tracks: The bridge enables rail teams to move safely between platforms in as little as 10 seconds, compared to several minutes walking to and from the nearest authorised crossing point. This reduces fatigue and streamlines movement throughout the worksite.
Minimised Downtime: By reducing the need to detour around the track, your workforce can spend more time on task and less time in transit. This helps to keep works progressing according to schedule, especially during possession windows or limited work periods.
Adaptable to Changing Site Layouts: Its modular, relocatable design makes it ideal for dynamic or phased projects, where the site setup may shift over time. The bridge can be quickly repositioned without disruption to ongoing works.
Support for Plant and Light Equipment Movement: With a safe working load of up to 320 kg, the bridge allows for transport of tools and light equipment, reducing reliance on additional manual handling or vehicle transport across platforms.
Seamless Integration with Other Systems: Our bridges are designed to work in tandem with our Platform Edge Protection and Platform‑to‑Track Access Stairs, creating a cohesive, compliant safety system that supports multiple access routes on site.

In short, our Platform‑to‑Platform Bridges help you maximise the value of every working hour, reduce unnecessary delays, and maintain a safe, effective workflow across rail sites of all sizes.

Our bridges are priced at £449 + VAT per 7 day hire period.
