The situation
The Cairns region of north Queensland has a diverse agricultural sector and avocados, at a gross value of approx $79 million per year, are one of the major crops produced.
The plant in which the system was to be installed required access to a loft area above machinery.
The system needed to fit snugly in a small alcove and an emphasis on a speedy install was also requested, as any machinery downtime would impact the farm’s strict production schedule.
Upon the resounding success of this install, further systems were installed on the exterior of the building to provide maintenance staff with safe access to rooftop equipment.

Solution
Due to the need for a quick installation, pre-assembly of the Kattsafe platform and stair system was carried out in our installer’s factory.

The system was then transported to site where, in a matter of hours, minor adjustments were made and it was able to be completely installed.
A number of factors that ensured the smooth installation:
Modular lightweight components that can be manhandled easily
Easy assembly using basic power tools and no specialist trades
System can be adjusted easily on-site and in situ using the unique patented T-bolt
Only causing minor disruption to valuable production time, the farm owners were extremely impressed at how quickly and easily the whole project came together.
As testament of the success of this project, further additional platform and stair systems have now been ordered and installed.
