Inflatable platform gap filler
The inflatable platform gap filler is an inflatable solution integrated into the roof access gangways of all types of vehicles: train, bus, metro, tramway, or plane.
Once inflated, it fills the gap between the vehicle and the gangway during maintenance and/or vehicle manufacture. Thus it ensures the safety of the agents by preventing the fall of people and tools.
The gap filler is an innovative system that is quick and easy to install. As an alternative to the rigid system, its flexible material adapts to the shape of each vehicle gauge without damaging it. It is made to measure according to the gap to be filled and the dimensions of your gangways.
In addition, depending on your needs, there are two types of loopholes:
- a system with two supports (the vehicle and the gangway).
- and a system without contact with the vehicle (only on the gangway), its hardness is sufficient to secure the operator.
The system is operated by a control box allowing its air supply. This is installed by our service department and enhanced with options such as detection of pressure drop, vehicle presence detection, measurement of the vehicle/bridge space to adjust the inflation, etc. In addition to supplying the inflatable platform gap filler and its control box, maintenance and product use training can be organized.
To conclude, this inflation system is an essential tool for safe working.
