Making room at the top - The patented Butterfly™ Platform from Preston to maximise Crane Crew Safety


The patented Butterfly™ Platform, is the latest innovation from the Preston Group to maximise Crane Crew safety. Until now, loads that left little or no room for the Crane Crew to operate are now more efficient and therefore safer with the Butterfly™ Platform. Personnel no longer have to crawl over the load to release or secure the chains, resulting in improved productivity and efficiency.

The Butterfly™ Platform provides 'add on wings' also identified as the 'Safety Zone', which are attached to both sides of the platform. The dimensions of the 'Safety Zone' are 2400mm long x 1000mm wide, providing personnel with an extra 2.4 square metres per side for safety and movement. These unique 'wings' also reduce the need for wide load transportation, therefore reducing transport costs while allowing more flexible delivery times.

No longer will the Crane Crew be concerned about wearing their safety harnesses whilst on the platforms, the Safety Zone 'wing', with a SWL of 500kg each side is capable of supporting up to three men safely.

The 'wings' are not designed for loads, but provide the extra 'Safety Zone' necessary for safety and efficiency. The main loading area of the platform will accommodate 4000kg SWL UDL.

Already a familiar sight on many developments, Preston see the use of the Butterfly™ Platform increasing in specialised applications. Construction sites can be tricky to maneuver equipment and materials around, with obstacles such as narrow window openings, between columns or conventionally through a scaffold bay, so the Butterfly™ Platform is adaptable enough to fit through any situation while increasing safety and efficiency on the building site.
