How does the custom design process work?

It starts with a concept sketch based on what you tell us about the space and the job. From there, we produce a drawing for you to review and approve. Production doesn't begin until you sign off on that drawing.

What materials can a custom platform be built from?

Painted steel, aluminum, or stainless steel. Painted steel keeps cost down, aluminum cuts weight for equipment that needs to move, and stainless steel holds up in wash-down or corrosive environments.

Are custom platforms built to meet OSHA requirements?

Every custom design is built to the load capacity, guardrail, and access requirements you specify, and we review those details against relevant safety codes as part of the drawing approval step, before anything is fabricated.

Do you only build platforms, or also ladders and stairways?

Both, along with walkways, mezzanines, and cantilever racks. If it needs to be sized to a specific space or load, it's fair game for a custom build.

How long does a custom platform or ladder take to design and build?

It depends on the complexity of the design and the material you choose. Once your drawing is approved, we can give you a firm production timeline. Call our team for a project-specific estimate.

Can you modify a standard ladder instead of building something fully custom?

Sometimes. If a standard model is close to what you need, modifying it can be faster and less expensive than a full custom build. Tell us what isn't working about the standard option, and we'll tell you whether a modification or a full custom design makes more sense.

CUSTOM PLATFORM AND LADDER DESIGN SOLUTIONS

When a standard ladder or platform doesn't fit your space, load, or code requirements, our team builds custom platforms from a concept sketch through final production. We work in painted steel, aluminum, or stainless steel depending on weight, cost, and corrosion needs, and the same process covers custom stairways, walkways, mezzanines, and cantilever racks. Every ladder design starts with a drawing you approve before anything is fabricated, so there are no surprises on the shop floor. Send us your measurements and application, and we'll turn it into a solution that fits.

Custom Platforms Built Around Your Space

Standard equipment is sized for average conditions, not your floor plan, your load, or your local code requirements. When nothing in a catalog fits, our team designs and builds custom platforms from a concept sketch through final production, so the equipment matches the job instead of forcing the job to work around the equipment. The custom solution will be designed and manufactured to your specification.

Material Options

We can build your custom product in:

Painted steel for the lowest-cost build
Aluminum for lighter weight and easier mobility
Stainless steel for corrosion-resistance in wash-down or outdoor environments

How the Process Works

We start with a concept sketch, then send you a drawing for review. Nothing moves to the production floor until you approve the design, so there are no surprises once fabrication starts.

Get a Quote on Your Custom Platform or Ladder Design

Send us your space dimensions, load requirements, and any code constraints, and we'll turn them into a drawing you can approve before we build anything. We hold GSA Contract #47QSWA22D006L and are MBE certified, so government and municipal buyers can order through an established contract vehicle.
