Industrial catwalks’ primary use is to move workers and goods from point B to point B. They’re best used in tricky or difficult-to-navigate environments where falls or other safety risks are present. Industrial catwalks from Northern Platforms can be positioned almost anywhere. This includes, over machinery, piping & cable trays, ducting, or other problem zones that your staff needs to be able to get around safely. They’re especially beneficial in seclusion zones where dangerous chemicals or machinery are present, as they provide a clear and safe pathway.
