Goleman Modular Access Systems
Description

Supplied by Goleman Group, the Kattsafe Modular Access Systems are engineered, no-weld aluminium structures designed for safe, flexible access to elevated areas. With fully adjustable, reusable components, they allow fast on-site assembly and customisation to suit a wide range of access and maintenance needs. Ideal for rooftops, plant platforms, crossovers, and suspended walkways.

Key Features
  • Lightweight, less load on structures.
  • Fit into tight or congested spaces.
  • Modular design, with fully adjustable and replaceable components.
  • No welding or hot work permits required.
  • Cost effective compared to steel.
  • Various flooring materials available.
  • Various configurations to conform to site situations.
Scope of Use
  • Safe access to elevated plant, equipment, and services
  • Walkways and stairs for rooftop or ceiling-mounted assets
  • Crossovers over ducts, pipes, conveyors, or machinery
  • Suspended walkways within ceiling cavities or above equipment
  • Cantilevered walkways where floor or roof support is not possible
  • Custom solutions for congested or restricted access areas
  • Modular systems for temporary or permanent access structures
  • Ideal for commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings
Limitations on Use
  • Kattsafe modular access systems are rated to 2.5kPa live load (250kg/m²).
  • Kattsafe platforms are designed for a maximum free standing height of 6000mm. Taller platforms are achievable based on engineer’s specifications.
  • Not suitable for BCA/ NCC requirements (general public access.) This system is designed for industrial and maintenance access only.
  • Platform deflection has been based on two variables, moderate deflection and minimal deflection. Moderate deflection is calculated using span length divided by 100mm. Minimal deflection is calculated using span length divided by 200mm.
  • Platforms are not designed for dead loads other than self weight. Please consult with Goleman Group for these design scenarios.
  • This system is not to be used for tethering, lifting machinery or equipment.
  • The access system must be checked by a competent system inspector as recommended:
    • Non corrosive/mild environment — 12 monthly
    • Corrosive/harsh environment — 6 monthly (more frequent inspection may be required).
Statement of Building Code Compliance

Modular access systems are designed to conform with requirements of Standards AS1657:2018 and relevant statutory OHS codes of practice and guidelines.

Other Performance Attributes

Testing and performance based on requirements of Australian Standard AS 1657-2018 and AS/NZS 117 under live load conditions.

Warranty

  • 10 years from date of purchase subject to correct installation.
  • Use and maintenance to be in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations.

The access system must be checked by a competent system inspector as recommended:

  • Non corrosive/mild environment — 12 monthly
  • Corrosive/harsh environment — 6 monthly (more frequent inspection may be required).
