The Altrex modular suspended platform system is recognized throughout the world as the standard for the Industry! Altrex designs and manufactures their products primarily with a focus on a safe workenvironment for the end-user.

The Altrex modular suspended platform system is very versatile in use for temporarely projects where scaffolds are inadequate or economically inefficient. Projects where the Altrex modulair suspended platform system can be used are maintanance-, repair- and inspectionjobs like facades, curtain walls, chimneys, silos, oil tanks, bridges, stadiums etc. The components of the Altrex modulair suspended platform system are compact and flexible in use which is ideal for example rental companies

The benefits of the Altrex modulair suspended platform system are:

  • assemble with standard sections
  • many configurations possible
  • quick assembly without any special tools
  • high load capacity
  • light-weight materials
  • special aluminum extrusions
  • unique designs
  • meet or exceed the most stringent applicable safety standard

To create a platform with two workfloors over each other, Altrex designed a special double-deck platform. This platform enables workers to work simultaneously on two (or even more) levels at comparatively low costs (for the extra equipment). At both ends the suspended platforms are linked with ladderframes. To allow easy access from one level to the other, additional one of the upper decks are provided with a trap-door.

The advantages of the double-deck platform:

  • offers the possibility to work simultaneously on two different levels;
  • only 2 hoists are required to lift the double-deck platform
  • different heigth between the workfloors
  • exceeds the existing safety standards
  • the length up to 12 m


Recently Altrex designed the adjustable cornersection. This makes the MHB-system even more applicable. The system can provide 7 different angles, which offers an unprecedented flexibility, at significantly lower cost. The particulars of this section are to be found in: unique design and construction

  • unique design and construction
  • the section can form angles of 20, 30, 45, 60, 72 and 90 degrees;
  • the section can simply be adjusted without tools;
  • the section is manufactured from durable galvanized steel combined with aluminium components;
  • the section is an integrated part of the MHB-system;
  • the section can be provided with a spindle on request. This makes the angle-selection continuous and even while in the air, adjustment can be realized.


Completely in line with their specialism, Altrex designed a unique aluminum roofbeam system, made almost entirely of aluminum.

  • modular
  • modules fit in personal elevators, various applications possible
  • only few different parts
  • low weight per part
  • unique patented shock absorber
  • assembly without tools
  • almost 100% aluminum
  • meets European and American standards
  • logical system avoiding errors at assembly
  • standard application with outreach up to 4 feet (1.20 m) longer outreach up to 7 feet with optional part
  • versatile

For loads up to 1,000 lbs (454 kg):(Always observe hoist-capacity)
Flat aluminum roofbeam: ADB 400 low
Raised aluminum roofbeam: ADB 400 high

Option roofbeam 800

For loads up to 1,500 lbs (800 kg):(Always observe hoist-capacity):
Aluminum roofbeam with stanchion: ADB 800 low
Raised aluminum roofbeam with stanchion: ADB 800 high
Due to the modular system roofbeams, ADB 400
can easily be upgraded to ADB 800 with some additional elements.
