Product Launch: SafeStand® Extension Stand

Introducing the New patented SafeStand® Extension Stand Project Highlight: Bespoke Solution for a Prestigious Mayfair Site A recent high-profile project in the heart of Mayfair required a cutting-edge work-at-height solution for complex ceiling installations above a suspended underground swimming pool. SafeStand Access Systems rose to the challenge —delivering the ideal answer with our new SafeStand Extension Stand.

Historically, achieving a platform height above 2210mm using our traditional systems was not feasible. However, this project provided the perfect opportunity to refine our new Extension Stand, designed to achieve greater platform working heights.

Key Features of the SafeStand Extension Stand

  • Enhanced Height Capability: ➢ Platform height extended by an additional 1000mm to our standard Safestand 1200’s braced systems, enabling the

following configurations:

✓ 1870mm platform height extended to 2870mm

✓ 2040mm platform height extended to 3040mm

✓ 2210mm platform height extended to 3210mm

  • Independently Tested to BS1139: Part 4 ➢ Fully compliant with the latest British Standards for safety and structural integrity.
  • Safe Working Load (SWL): ➢ Certified SWL of 500kgs per individual stand, making it robust and dependable for various site applications.

Overcoming Unique Challenges on Site

The suspended swimming pool, located below ground level, presented unique logistical challenges and tight deadlines. SafeStand’s team conducted an initial site visit to evaluate requirements, discussed specifications in detail, and delivered a comprehensive plan. The extension stand system, consisting of a 100 linear meter, was successfully erected by two operatives within a remarkable timeframe of just 10 hours.

Positive Feedback and Versatile Usage

All three Safestand systems—Standard, 1200, and now the new Extension Stand, are being utilised across multiple levels of this prestigious project. The main contractor, their SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment & Quality) team, and the specialist contractor have all provided very positive feedback, confirming SafeStand as the trusted partner for complex work-at-height solutions.
