As a leading designer and manufacturer of quality platforms and steps, you can rely on our products to be fit for purpose, easy to position against the train and durable. Many of the train maintenance facilities are old with height restrictions and so it is imperative that the access solutions we provide work around these restrictions but still provide the safe access required by the rail engineers. All Semmco’s equipment is designed by engineers for engineers and we understand the requirements train maintenance engineers have to carry out their work on a day-to-day basis.
Here are just a few of our most popular train access platforms. Please get in touch for more information.
Rail Front Platforms
Our Pendolino train front platform was designed specifically for changing wiper blades, general inspection and maintenance needs.
With a sturdy steel chassis and clamps for safely locking the platform into position, this robust, yet lightweight aluminium platform is easily positioned up to the train. Designed with three castor wheels, the platform is less likely to become stuck when transporting between depots and railroads.
Handrails surround the large working surface area to create a safe space, as well as the spring back safety gate for additional security.

Roof Rail Platform
Gain access to WiFi, general roof maintenance and driver HVAC using Semmco’s roof rail access platform. This safe working platform enables productivity to be optimised and inbuilt protective systems prevent damage during maintenance.
This aluminium construction is very easy to manoeuvre and is adaptable to different working environments. Configure this roof platform to suit your work and access requirements and feel at ease with the safe, stable and rigid support it offers.
Your specific requirements are always in mind with the ergonomically shaped handrails; choose the integrated or separate configuration depending on your needs. The unique tongue and groove interlock platform section provides high stability with kickboards too.
Please get in touch with your specific depot requirements and we can provide a quotation for a platform to suit your needs.
Rail Side Platform
Semmco’s Rail Side Platform is perfect for external use for cleaners at the train depot. The sturdy, durable, yet lightweight aluminium structure provides an easy to move but stable structure to reach the areas that need cleaning around the trains. Complete with four lockable heavy duty swivel castors, this makes the chassis easy to position and transport.
Several safety features keep the engineers safe and protect the train from accidental damage. The platform, fitted with handrails, provides a large, safe working area and the steps have slip-resistant, self-draining tread. The platform is fitted with soft padding to the front edge to protect the train.
Double Sided Rail Roof Access Maintenance Platforms
The design of this platform can be adapted to fit individual rail depot facilities so that engineers can access both the sides and roof of the train. It is height adjustable too and, like all the Semmco platforms and steps, is made from lightweight aluminium. This makes the platform robust, providing a stable working environment, but easy to move into position.
This range of platforms include fixed or variable height options, fixed or folding roof protection, ladder or stair access with foldaway stairs where space is a premium.
Rail Pit Board
The Semmco Rail Pit Board creates a safe ‘bridge’ from one side of a depot pit to the other. These are manufactured from lightweight aluminium and have non-slip, self-draining tread to prevent people slipping as they step onto the Pit Board. The Rail Pit Boards have adjustable feet to cater for the varying rail gauge profiles and to ensure a safe, secure fit. Hand rails can be provided too.
