Roof Access Platform for Trains

Movable Roof Access Platforms for Trains

Adapted to the vehicle, depot and maintenance task.

Dendro Lift’s movable roof access platforms provide safe and controlled access to train roofs and create a stable working surface exactly where it is needed. The technician moves the platform towards the vehicle. Sensors control the final positioning and create an ergonomic workplace close to the roof without placing unnecessary loads on the vehicle.

Movable roof access platforms provide safe and controlled access to train roofs.

Customised length

Designed around the vehicle and depot.

Independent drive

Each platform section is controlled individually.

Sensor-controlled positioning

Controlled movement close to the vehicle.

Built Around the Vehicle and Depot

Every roof platform is configured to suit the building dimensions, vehicle lengths and roof areas requiring access. The modular design makes it possible to create anything from a single workstation to an extended, continuous platform system.

01
Analyse the requirements: we assess the building, vehicle types, roof profiles and maintenance tasks to be performed.
02
Configure the sections: the number, length and movement of the platform sections are adapted to the vehicles and depot workflow.
03
Integrate the safety systems: controls, sensors and protective functions are incorporated into the complete solution.

Sections Adapted to Your Requirements

Dendro Lift builds roof platforms in separate sections dimensioned to suit the length of the vehicles, the roof areas requiring access and the building conditions. The sections can be combined into one continuous solution for both shorter vehicles and long trainsets.

A dedicated drive motor for each section

The technician controls each platform section separately. Only the sections required for the vehicle or maintenance task need to be moved into position.

Sensor-Controlled Positioning Close to the Vehicle

When the platform reaches the vehicle, its position is detected by sensors. The system then automatically retracts the platform by a short distance to create the correct working clearance. Sensor control also reduces the risk of trapping injuries as the platform moves forwards.

01
Close working position: the clearance is kept small, reducing the risk of tools and components falling between the platform and the vehicle.
02
No static load on the vehicle: automatic retraction ensures that the platform does not remain in contact with or place a load on the vehicle during work.

Protection Against Trapping and Dropped Objects

Each movable roof platform is equipped with a protective system that prevents dropped tools or components on the floor from becoming trapped as the platform sections retract. This protects both personnel and equipment and reduces the risk of unplanned downtime.

  • Sensor-controlled positioning
  • Reduced trapping risk during movement
  • Protection for personnel and equipment
  • Reduced risk of downtime

Collective Fall Protection for a Safer Workplace

Working on train roofs involves a risk of falling and requires carefully considered protective measures. A movable roof platform provides an integrated collective protection solution, a stable working surface and reduced reliance on temporary individual systems.

The Swedish Work Environment Authority states that collective protective measures should be prioritised over individual measures.

Read more in the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s guidance on preventing fall risks (in Swedish).
