Industrial and plant platforms in Cumbria

Industrial and plant platforms are steel platforms built around machinery, process lines, tanks or rooftop plant so people can operate, inspect and maintain them safely at height.
Industrial and plant platforms for Cumbria businesses
Distribution sheds around Carlisle often run out of floor before they run out of height. A storage mezzanine over packing, returns or small-parts picking can add hundreds of square metres without a move, with pallet gates placed where forklifts already work. Carlisle has older industrial buildings and mills where a mezzanine has to work around existing columns, varying floor levels and slabs of unknown thickness, so a careful slab check comes first.
Typical work we price in Cumbria includes storage and picking mezzanines in distribution units, mezzanines in older industrial buildings. Cumbria is in the North West, around 147 miles from our Birmingham base on average.
What the job includes
- Prefabricated for shutdown installation
- Access stairs or ladders to suit the space
- Galvanised grating or chequer plate decks
- Designed for point loads from equipment
Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Cumbria?
Yes. We provide industrial and plant platforms across Cumbria, including Carlisle and Kendal, and nearby areas such as County Durham, Tyne and Wear and Lancashire.
Can you install a warehouse mezzanine near Carlisle without stopping despatch?
Yes. We fence off the work zone, deliver steel at agreed times, and phase the build so picking and despatch keep running.
Grating or chequer plate for a plant platform?
Open grating is the usual choice: it is light, lets dust and water through and does not get slippery. Chequer plate suits areas where small parts or tools must not drop through.
Do plant platforms need Building Regulations approval?
It depends on the platform and how it is used. Access platforms for maintenance are often treated differently from occupied floors. We confirm the position with Building Control on each job.
