Standard Inclusions








Configurations




Star Aluminium Adjustable Tanker Platform
- Star adjustable tanker platforms are designed to provide safe operator access to the top of road tankers, bulk liquid vehicles and similar large transport assets during loading, unloading and inspection activities. The adjustable height range covers 3.0 m to 4.5 m, accommodating the height variation across different tanker configurations without requiring a separate unit for each vehicle type.
- A heavy-duty winch mechanism controls height adjustment from the ground, allowing one operator to set the platform at the correct working elevation before climbing. Once in position, the 1350 × 1350 mm enclosed hoop guardrail surrounds the operator on all sides. Double swing gates provide clear entry and exit points while maintaining edge protection. A levelling jack system at the base corrects for uneven yard surfaces, ensuring the platform deck is always level regardless of ground conditions.
- Heavy-duty mobility wheels allow the platform to be relocated between tanker bays without lifting equipment. The overall footprint of 3000 × 1200 mm keeps the platform stable during use while remaining compact enough for yard and depot environments. All units are fitted with a compliance plate and are backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty.
