Defence
Defence facilities require access equipment that meets stringent load ratings, passes military specification requirements, and is robust enough for the handling conditions common in bases, workshops, and operational depots. Aluminium Platforms supplies ladders and work platforms to Australian Army, Navy, and Air Force facilities, defence contractors, and shipyards through direct sales and trade accounts.
Fibreglass Ladders for Defence Environments
Fibreglass ladders are required in many defence applications due to the presence of electrical systems, fuel storage, and electromagnetic sensitive areas where aluminium conductivity is a safety concern. Bailey Fibreglass Leansafe X3 ladders in 1.8 m, 2.1 m, and 2.4 m configurations provide a multi-position non-conductive ladder for general base use. The X3 design functions as a single sided leaning ladder, an A-frame step ladder, and an extension configuration in one unit. This versatility suits the varied access conditions across a defence facility where a single ladder needs to handle multiple task types throughout the day.
Bailey Modular Access System for Maintenance
The Bailey Modular Access System is used in defence vehicle maintenance bays, aircraft hangars, and shipyard access applications. The modular bolt-together design allows access structures to be configured for specific vehicle or vessel types and reconfigured as the maintenance task changes. Entry components for a single upright section. Full multi-level configurations for armoured vehicle and naval vessel maintenance can reach over for complete structures. The aluminium construction is compatible with the corrosion requirements of coastal naval environments.
Heavy-Duty Work Platforms for Workshop Use
Star P series aluminium work platforms in the 180 kg industrial grade are used in defence workshop environments for vehicle servicing, engine access, and elevated assembly work. Models run from P2 for low-level access through to P12 for tall-bay and aircraft maintenance heights. The full guardrail system and large deck make these suitable for the sustained work periods common in defence maintenance operations, and the staircase access reduces fatigue compared with repeated ladder climbing over a full-day maintenance schedule. These platforms are supplied with full certification documentation as standard.
Bailey Access Platform Ladders
For access points that require a guardrailed standing platform rather than a full work platform, Bailey access platform ladders cover deck heights from 0.6 m to over 3 m. These are used in communications maintenance, electrical infrastructure servicing, and facility maintenance work where a portable guardrailed deck is needed at a specific height without deploying a full work platform.
Defence Procurement
We supply defence facilities through standard government procurement channels and hold all required documentation for equipment specification verification.
