Industrial and plant platforms in Suffolk
Our teams carry out industrial and plant platforms in Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft and Felixstowe and the rest of Suffolk. 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 Suffolk businesses
Port-side warehouses around Lowestoft handle high volumes in limited space, so storage mezzanines and multi-level picking are common. Steel finishes are chosen with damp, salty air in mind. Distribution sheds around Felixstowe 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.
Typical work we price in Suffolk includes port-side storage mezzanines, storage and picking mezzanines in distribution units, mezzanine offices in industrial units. Suffolk is in the East of England, around 136 miles from our Birmingham base on average.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Suffolk?
Yes. We provide industrial and plant platforms across Suffolk, including Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft and Felixstowe, and nearby areas such as Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire.
Will a mezzanine cope with coastal air near Lowestoft?
We specify galvanised steel and suitable finishes where buildings see damp or salty air.
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.
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.
