The highest standardPlatforms built using TPS provide an elevated working platform or a joining section between the different flights of a stairway. TPS makes building work exceptionally straightforward because all the application areas are assembled using the same basic components and principles.
This is made possible by TPS Step Profiles 8 and the specially developed Frame Profile 8 120x40 light. The latter accommodates both Step Profiles (160 or 240 mm widths) in any sequence and holds them securely in place. The steps lie in the specially shaped frame and are also fixed to the profile via a screw connection. Glide Tape prevents direct contact with the aluminium profiles, thereby keeping noise levels low in quiet working environments.
Measuring up to 6000 mm in length, the ridged Step Profiles are used as both steps and as long floor panels in platforms. As a result, several Step Profiles can be installed in parallel to form a spacious working platform measuring up to 36 m2 in area. Alternatively, Frame Profiles can be connected together via their end faces to build raised working platforms in any length.
TPS enables users to build platforms in depths starting from 240 mm right up to a maximum total depth of 6080 mm, in increments of 80 mm. As per DIN EN ISO14122, item also recommends a minimum spacing of 600 mm between two stairways.
