Tri-Arc’s Engineered Access Solutions division (EAS) specializes in designing, engineering and fabricating custom access and fall protection solutions.  As the industry leader  with over 50 years of experience, our EAS team of highly skilled and experienced sales engineers and engineers develop access solutions using a proven consultative approach aimed at successfully addressing safety, productivity, ergonomics and OSHA compliance all of which are customized to the specific application and environment.  Working from height is necessary in many business environments across all industries and the access and fall protection tools workers use are vital to their safety and productivity.   Tri-Arc offers a wide variety of access solutions that include Mobile Platforms, Adjustable Height Systems, Advanced Systems, Cantilever Systems, Fixed Platforms, Fixed Ladders and U-Design Configurable Systems, all designed to provide the most suitable fall protection access solution.    

EAS mobile platforms are designed and manufactured to meet the needs of a broad range of industries and uses.  Mobile platforms combine code-compliant access with the flexibility to reconfigure your work station for multi-phase work or to provide for changing workflow.  Mobile platforms also offer the efficiency of using one platform for multiple locations, when simultaneous work is not required.

Tri-Arc’s EAS division designs and manufactures code-compliant fixed platforms for a variety of applications including machine maintenance, assembly line, vehicle service, and other special access needs.  Custom crossovers can be used in warehouse and industrial environments around conveyors, pipes, and other equipment to improve safety and productivity by reducing travel time around plant environments.

EAS creates fixed ladders and staircases to comply with OSHA standards 1910.27 and 1910.24, as well as meet specialty needs for rooftops, mezzanines, storage tanks, and industrial equipment access.  These products can also be made to comply with more strict building codes such as IBC or ADA requirements.

Sometimes it is not possible to put a platform directly next to the area that needs to be accessed.  EAS designs and manufactures platforms that cantilever over obstacles and put the user right where they need to work.  Systems can be addressed head-on or from the side, using low-profile support legs or balancing with counterweight.

Whether the application is dynamic, or needs to meet the ergonomic needs of a diverse workforce, an adjustable ladder or platform from EAS is the solution.  Products can be designed to change height or platform size using a wide variety of techniques and power sources, tailored to meet the specific criteria.

No access problem is too complex for EAS.  We have provided some examples of situations that have required highly specialized solutions, often combining multiple features such as height adjustment, cantilevers, dynamic platforms, and mobility in iIndustries with complex interfaces, such as aerospace manufacturing and aviation maintenance.

Tri-Arc’s EAS division offers two configurable product solutions.  U-Design is offered for crossover ladders as well as cantilever ladders.  Based on our experience developing customized product solutions for these two product types, we have developed the U-Design products as a standardized access solution that allows you to configure it to meet the specific needs of your application.
