Tanker Access Solutions
Aluminium access platforms and hatch access equipment for road tankers and bulk liquid vehicles, height-adjustable, corrosion-resistant, Lifetime Structural Warranty.
Engineered access
for tanker operations.
Operators working on and around road tankers face a specific set of access challenges. Tanker heights vary between vehicle types, loading and unloading requires access to the top of the vehicle, and the environment often involves fuels, chemicals or liquid food products that create additional slip and fall hazards. Standard work platforms are rarely set up to handle these conditions reliably.
Star Aluminium designs access equipment specifically for road tanker, bulk liquid vehicle and ISO container operations. The range includes adjustable platforms that accommodate varying tanker heights and hatch access units for top-of-vehicle operations. Guardrail and enclosure systems are integrated across the range to provide continuous fall protection at height. The aluminium construction resists corrosion in environments exposed to chemicals, fuels and weather without the surface degradation that affects steel alternatives over time.
Each product in the tanker access range is certified to support WHS compliance documentation and backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty. If your fleet includes non-standard vehicle heights or you need a configuration that covers multiple tanker types, contact Star Aluminium to discuss custom options before placing your order.

What tanker access products does Star Aluminium manufacture?
Star Aluminium produces adjustable tanker platforms that reach the working height at the side or top of the vehicle with fall protection throughout the adjustment range, and purpose-designed tanker hatch access equipment for top-of-vehicle operations during loading, unloading and inspection.
How does the adjustable tanker platform accommodate different vehicle heights?
The adjustable tanker platform incorporates a height adjustment mechanism that allows the deck to be set at the correct working height for the vehicle in use. This means a single platform can serve multiple tanker types within its adjustment range without manual reconfiguration of the structural frame.
What industries use Star Aluminium tanker access equipment?
Primary users include fuel and petroleum transport operators, chemical and liquid bulk haulage, food and beverage tanker fleets, and bulk water and agricultural transport. The aluminium construction is suited to environments with regular exposure to fuels, chemicals and cleaning agents.
Is the equipment suitable for hazardous material environments?
Aluminium construction provides corrosion resistance in environments exposed to fuels, acids and chemical residues. Products carry compliance plates and are designed to WHS requirements applicable to the tanker loading and unloading industry. Contact Star Aluminium to confirm the appropriate configuration for your specific hazardous material application.
What documentation is provided with tanker access equipment?
All tanker access equipment ships with a compliance plate for WHS documentation purposes, confirming manufacture to applicable Australian Standards under ISO 9001:2015. A Lifetime Structural Warranty applies to every product and covers structural integrity under normal operational loads.
