Truck Safety Solutions
Aluminium truck access platforms and safety screens for loading and unloading operations, compliant to AS/NZS Standards with Lifetime Structural Warranty.
Fall protection
where it matters most.
Loading and unloading operations are one of the higher-risk activities at any depot, distribution centre or industrial facility. Operators working at the edge of a truck tray or loading dock without proper edge protection or access equipment are exposed to fall risk on every single movement. Having the right equipment in place brings that risk down to something manageable and defensible under WHS obligations.
Star Aluminium produces access platforms and safety screens purpose-built for truck and loading environments. The truck access platform range covers fixed and adjustable configurations suited to standard and varying trailer heights. Truck safety screens provide loading dock edge protection with a stable, repositionable barrier that stores flat when not needed. All products are fabricated from lightweight aluminium, which keeps them easy to move and position by hand while standing up to the outdoor exposure typical of depot and yard environments.
Both products carry a compliance plate, meet AS/NZS Standards and are backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty. Custom widths and configurations are available to suit non-standard loading dock setups or fleet-specific height requirements. Contact the team before ordering if your site has unusual dimensions.

What truck safety products does Star Aluminium manufacture?
Star Aluminium manufactures truck access platforms providing safe elevated access at loading and unloading points, and truck safety screens for loading dock edge protection. Both products are fabricated from aluminium and designed specifically for transport and depot environments.
What is the difference between a truck access platform and a truck safety screen?
A truck access platform gives operators a guarded, anti-slip deck at the edge of the truck tray for loading and unloading work at height. A truck safety screen is a repositionable barrier installed at the loading dock edge to prevent falls when trucks are not present or are being positioned. The two products address different hazard points in the same loading environment.
Are custom configurations available for non-standard loading docks?
Yes. Custom widths and platform configurations are available to suit non-standard loading dock dimensions, fleet-specific trailer heights and site layout requirements. Contact the Star Aluminium team before ordering if your site has dimensions that do not match the standard product specifications.
What compliance standards apply to truck safety equipment?
All truck safety products carry a compliance plate and are designed to applicable AS/NZS Standards for working at height and fall prevention. Manufacturing is certified to ISO 9001:2015. A Lifetime Structural Warranty applies to all products.
How are truck safety screens stored when not in use?
Truck safety screens are fitted with swivel lockable wheels for easy repositioning across concrete or sealed surfaces. Chains secure the screen in place during loading operations. When not in use, the screen can be wheeled to a designated storage position without disassembly.
