Next-Generation Work Platforms: The T-Rex by Star Aluminium

The T-Rex Mobile Work Platform was purpose-built to meet DP World’s operational requirements for container maintenance, especially for refrigerated (reefer) units. Here’s how it works:

• Electric Mobility: The platform is powered by an electric drive system, allowing operators to easily maneuver the unit around container yards without the need for towing or external machinery. This reduces downtime and increases efficiency.

• Integrated Site Extensions: Adjustable side platforms extend outward to provide safe and stable access to various container heights and orientations. These extensions are critical for reaching hard-to-access components during washdowns or inspections.

• High-Access Functionality: The T-Rex is designed to raise workers to optimal working height for tasks such as refrigeration unit servicing, visual inspections, or pressure washing. Its structure provides elevated, stable footing, reducing the need for ladders or scaffolding.

• Safety-First Design: Equipped with anti-slip surfaces, guardrails, emergency stop controls, and load-rated components, the T-Rex ensures compliance with Australian safety standards while maintaining ease of use for operators.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from corrosion-resistant aluminium and reinforced for outdoor, industrial environments, the platform is engineered to withstand the rigours of daily port operations.

In short, the T-Rex provides a mobile, elevated, and secure workspace, enabling DP World staff to carry out essential maintenance tasks with greater safety, speed, and precision—while reducing manual handling risks and operational delays.
