The range of roof access platforms are all manufactured from lightweight aluminium providing a stable and rigid access but also meaning the platforms are lightweight to move into position. Train depots often vary in size and restrictions and so our platforms can be modified and adjusted to accommodate different facilities.

Our Roof platform applications
No rail depot is the same and the range of roof access platforms from Semmco can be adapted and modified to suit the different requirements whether that be the height of the depot or the configuration of the track within the depots.
Train manufacturers and maintenance companies are having to carry out work to modernise rolling stock and provide facilities such as wifi for the passengers while they are on board. The Semmco Rail Access Platforms enable engineers to carry out this work, efficiently and safely.
Rolling stock is often maintained in very tight time frames and the engineers need to be able to access all areas quickly and easily.
Why Choose Semmco?
Semmco is known throughout the rail industry as the manufacturer of choice when it comes to access platforms and steps. It designs and manufactures clever solutions that are built to a high standard, are robust and durable. Semmco has recently supplied access platforms to Alstom Trains who had to manage an extensive maintenance programme to replace doors and change the HVAC units on all their rolling stock. This case study details the work done and demonstrates how Semmco worked closely with the customer to provide exactly what they needed. https://semmco.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/ALSTOM-ARRIVA-TRAINCARE-Case-study.pdf
