Modern steel structure platforms come in various forms and offer a full range of functions. Their most prominent feature is their fully assembled structure, allowing for flexible design and customization to meet site requirements, functional needs, and logistical requirements. They are widely used in modern storage.
Composition
Platform structures typically consist of decking, primary and secondary beams, columns, inter-column supports, ladders, and railings.
Classification
Based on usage requirements, platforms can be categorized as indoor and outdoor platforms, platforms bearing static and dynamic loads, production auxiliary platforms, and medium- and heavy-duty operating platforms.
Based on support methods, platform structures can also be classified as:
(1) Platforms directly supported on the triangular supports or corbels of factory columns, typically serving as safety passages or simple medium-sized operating platforms.
(2) Platforms supported on one side by factory columns or building walls, with an independent column on the other side.
(3) Platforms supported on large equipment.
(4) Completely independent platforms. For platforms subjected to large dynamic loads or with equipment of great weight, it is advisable to design them separately from the factory building columns and support them directly on independent columns.
