Process Plant Walkways and Platforms
Process plant environments combine elevated access with corrosive atmospheres, continuous maintenance cycles, and equipment that can't afford downtime during installation.
Aluminium handles all of it without surface treatment cycles - its oxide layer is self-repairing, which removes the access structure from the maintenance schedule.

- Key Features: Customisable dimensions, lightweight but durable design, easy installation
- Applications: Safe access over obstacles like conveyors, piping, or uneven terrain
Pump Station Access Platforms
Above-ground pump stations require maintenance access around pump sets, control panels, and pipework connections. Safetylyne designs fixed platforms and walkways for mine site pump stations - including dewatering pump infrastructure, transfer stations, and bore pump installations.
Aluminium construction suits remote and outdoor installations where ongoing surface maintenance isn't practical.

+ Multipurpose Mobile ACCESS Platforms
Our mobile work platforms offer unparalleled versatility for operations that require flexible solutions.
These stair platforms can be moved easily across the site, providing safe access to hard-to-reach areas.
Whether for maintenance, repairs, inspections, or any other work at heights, these platforms ensure that your teams are working in a safe, secure and compliant environment.
- Key Features: Portable design, adjustable height, stable footing, non-slip surface, height adjustable options available
- Applications: Equipment maintenance, temporary work areas, emergency access, heavy duty work tasks, truck access, mining haul track access
Custom mobile platforms are fully engineered and constructed from marine-grade aluminium, offering heavy-duty durability for mining workshops.
These platforms can be custom-made to suit all machine makes and models, including compatibility with CAT, Komatsu, Liebherr, and Hitachi trucks.
Features include adjustable height, mesh platforms for grease and oil drainage, large solid wheels for gravel or dirt use, and optional removable or collapsible handrails.
Designed with flexibility in mind, they allow access into truck chassis, over hydraulic boxes, and fuel tanks, with fitter platform stairs at both ends for easy access. Suitable for underground loader access, bridge decks for dozers, and U-shaped configurations to fit over wheels without clashes, they are crane-liftable, forkliftable, and perfect for multiple users.
Access Solutions for Mine Site Warehouses and Storage Facilities
Mine site warehouses, maintenance workshops, and parts stores are working facilities with their own access and fall protection requirements. Mezzanine levels, elevated storage areas, loading zones, and open edges all need compliant guardrail and access systems designed for industrial use.
Safetylyne designs and installs aluminium guardrail systems, mezzanine handrails, perimeter safety rails, and access stairs for mine site warehouse and storage buildings. Aluminium doesn't corrode, doesn't need painting, and handles the operational wear of a busy workshop without maintenance overhead.
+ Mezzanine guardrails and handrails
+ Perimeter safety rails for elevated storage areas
+ Warehouse access stairs and intermediate landings
+ Loading bay and dock edge protection
+ Parts store and workshop elevated access platforms
+ Self-closing gate systems at pallet transfer and loading points
+ Mezzanine access platforms and stairs
+ Conveyor balustrades for fall protection
+ Rigid Rail for fall restraint and overhead access in industrial warehousing facilities
+ Dewatering Infrastructure Access
Pit dewatering systems, above-ground dewatering pump stations, and skid-mounted pump sets all need fixed or semi-permanent access for regular inspection and maintenance. Safetylyne designs access platforms and walkways for dewatering infrastructure across open-cut and underground mine sites. Modular aluminium construction suits installations where the dewatering layout changes as the pit progresses.
+ Reagent Storage and Bunded Area Walkways
Reagent tanks, IBC storage zones, and bunded chemical areas need walkways that span containment without compromising bund integrity. Safetylyne designs platforms that cross-bounded areas using their own structural support - no floor penetrations required. Access frequency and chemical exposure at each location determine the platform and grating specification.
+ Custom Platforms and Walkways
Safe access is essential across mining sites, especially in elevated or hard-to-reach areas. Custom-designed mobile and fixed working platforms and walkways provide robust, stable, and compliant solutions, whether stationary or mobile. These systems enable seamless movement across work areas, reducing the risk of falls while supporting productivity and efficiency.
Energy Infrastructure Access for mine sites
Off-grid and hybrid power systems are standard infrastructure on mine sites across WA and QLD.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS), generator sets, solar inverter stations, and HV switchgear all need compliant fixed access for commissioning, inspection, and ongoing maintenance.
Safetylyne designs industrial access platforms and heavy-duty walkways for mine site energy infrastructure - including BESS container walkways, inverter service platforms, and generator set access. Aluminium construction suits remote and high-humidity locations where corrosion resistance across the structure's life reduces the total cost of ownership.
Custom Fixed and Mobile Mine Guardrail Systems for Fall Protection
Fixed and mobile safety rail systems are essential for protecting workers at heights on mine sites. Designed for fall protection, these systems are used around mezzanines, along edges of mobile plant equipment, and other elevated areas.
Customisable to suit specific site needs, fixed and mobile rails enhance safety while ensuring compliance with mining regulations.
Built for durability and functionality, these systems are engineered to reduce risks, improve access, and withstand harsh mining environments. With expert design and advanced manufacturing capabilities, tailored solutions can be created to address unique challenges, providing maximum safety and efficiency for mining operations.
Rigid Rail Fall Protection Systems
Rigid rail is the right specification when fall clearance is limited and a cable or static line won't deliver the arrest distance needed. Unlike flexible systems, a rigid rail eliminates sag and dynamic deflection - the trolley tracks the worker's movement along the rail, keeping the attachment point directly overhead and reducing fall distance to the minimum.
This matters most on industrial and mine sites in maintenance bays, high-bay workshops, mill access areas, and elevated equipment platforms where the overhead structure is close and a long arrest distance isn't available.
The system supports continuous lateral movement without disconnecting, which keeps workers in 100% tie-off across the full travel path.
Safetylyne designs and installs rigid rail systems, including wall-mount and ceiling-mount overhead rail for mine site applications - single, twin, and tri-rail configurations depending on user numbers and structural constraints.
These fall restraint rail systems are manufactured from aluminium and stainless steel hardware, suited to the corrosive and high-UV conditions of outdoor and semi-enclosed mining environments. Mounting options include purlins, metal decks, concrete decks, and existing structural members.
