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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the height range of the Star Aluminium adjustable tanker platform?

The Star Aluminium adjustable tanker platform covers a height range of 3,000 mm to 4,500 mm (3.0 m to 4.5 m). This range accommodates the height variation across different tanker configurations, including road tankers, bulk liquid vehicles and similar large transport assets, without requiring a separate unit for each vehicle type.

How is the platform height adjusted on-site?

Height adjustment is controlled by a heavy-duty winch mechanism, allowing one operator to set the platform at the correct working elevation from the ground before climbing. A levelling jack system at the base corrects for uneven or sloped yard surfaces, ensuring the platform deck is always level regardless of ground conditions. No additional lifting equipment is required.

What fall protection is provided on the adjustable tanker platform?

The platform deck is surrounded by a 1,350 × 1,350 mm enclosed hoop guardrail on all sides. Double swing gates provide clear entry and exit points while maintaining continuous edge protection. The boom arm provides additional overhead protection during access. Fall protection is maintained throughout the entire height adjustment range.
