Star Aluminium Modular Access Platforms

Star modular access platforms use a four-component system (Universal Platforms, Safety Handrails, Support Towers and Access Stairs) to solve complex site access challenges without on-site fabrication or welding. The bolt-together design requires only standard hand tools, making assembly straightforward and installation timeframes predictable. Components arrive flat-packed to reduce freight costs and can be configured to suit a wide range of platform heights, layouts and access requirements.
The perforated dimple platform surface provides drainage and slip resistance in wet, dusty and chemical-exposure environments. Modular yellow handrails extend and retract to match the platform height and layout, forming continuous edge protection throughout the access path. Secure access gates provide safe entry and exit at stair landings while maintaining full perimeter protection. Fixed base plates allow the platform to be anchored permanently to the ground when required.
Modular access platforms are a proven solution for mining equipment access, aviation fuselage and wing service platforms, truck and trailer loading access, conveyor crossovers, wall-mount walkways and factory floor crossings. The ability to reconfigure, extend or relocate the system as site requirements change makes these platforms well suited to facilities that evolve over time. All units are backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty.

Aftercare & Maintenance

All Star Aluminium products are designed and manufactured to Australian Standards for height access and industrial equipment.
Every unit is supplied with a compliance plate and engineering certification.
Our standard products comply with WHS requirements and carry a Lifetime Structural Warranty.
Every month, we recommend that you inspect every working platform to make sure they are safe for use.
Check the platform's surface and weld points in order to ensure there is no external damage or corrosion from weather conditions that can cause a safety issue.
If any damage is found on the equipment when checking your monthly inspection routine, please mark the equipment as "out of service" and call us so we may discuss what needs to be repaired.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the four components of a Star Aluminium modular access platform?

Star Aluminium modular access platforms are assembled from four core components: universal platforms (the deck surface), safety handrails (edge protection), support towers (structural legs and bracing) and access stairs (entry and exit point). All four components bolt together using standard tools without the need for welding or specialist fabrication on site, enabling rapid reconfiguration as site layouts or access requirements change.

What heights can Star Aluminium modular access platforms reach?

Standard Star Aluminium modular access platform configurations reach heights up to 3.2 m. Custom heights are available for sites where standard modules do not meet access elevation requirements. The bolt-together support tower design allows height adjustments without replacing the platform deck or stair components, reducing reconfiguration costs when access levels change.

How quickly can a modular access platform be assembled on site?

Star Aluminium modular access platforms are designed for assembly using everyday tools, no specialist tradespeople or welding equipment are required. Units are supplied flat-packed to reduce freight costs and to allow installation in confined or indoor locations where crane access is unavailable. Predictable installation timeframes support construction programme scheduling and reduce total project cost.

Are Star Aluminium modular access platforms manufactured to Australian Standards?

Yes. All Star Aluminium modular access platforms are designed and manufactured to Australian Standards for industrial access equipment. Each unit is supplied with a compliance plate to support site WHS obligations. Manufacturing is covered by the ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. All units carry a Lifetime Structural Warranty.

Can modular access platforms be reconfigured after initial installation?

Yes. The bolt-together design allows platforms to be disassembled and reassembled in a different configuration when site requirements change. Individual components (platforms, handrails, towers and stairs) can be added, removed or repositioned without replacing the entire system. This reconfigurability makes modular access platforms particularly suited to construction projects, temporary production line modifications and long-term industrial maintenance programmes.

What industries use Star Aluminium modular access platforms?

Star Aluminium modular access platforms are supplied to mining, civil infrastructure, oil and gas, manufacturing, transport, utilities and construction sectors across Australia. Applications include elevated maintenance access, production line platform systems, temporary construction access, tank and vessel inspection platforms, and multi-level site access where prefabricated modular systems reduce installation time against custom-fabricated alternatives.
