HERMEQ’s mobile access platform range is specifically designed for environments where traditional loading docks aren’t available. These platforms provide a stable, raised access solution for unloading lorries, trailers and containers directly from the rear. Each unit is manufactured from prime steel, built for industrial usage, and designed with operator safety as a priority.
With an 800kg standard capacity and upgradeable to 1200kg using heavy-duty wheels, the mobile access platform delivers robust performance in warehouse yards, distribution centres, and haulage depots. Available in multiple formats — from compact runged platforms to full-width options with integrated steps — this access platform range allows teams to work confidently and efficiently across uneven or busy sites.
- Standard load capacity of 800kg - Suitable for cages, pallets and bulk items.
- Steps, ladders or rung entry - Tailor the access style based on operational preferences.
- Forklift-compatible design - Add forklift pockets or jacking legs for simple relocation.
- Optional wind-down legs - Stabilise the platform when working on uneven ground.
- Galvanised upgrade available - Extend outdoor product lifespan by up to 30 years.
Every mobile access platform comes fitted with fixed handrails for user stability. Optional buffer bumper strips can be added to the exposed platform edges to prevent impact damage from forklift masts. Additionally, bridging ramps are available to ease transitions between platform and trailer, helping operators roll cages or goods across with minimal effort.
The blue powder-coated finish comes standard, offering durability and visibility. However, for harsher outdoor conditions, HERMEQ recommends a galvanised zinc finish to guard against corrosion. Safety chains are also available upon request to secure the platform in place during operation, further enhancing site safety standards.
HERMEQ stocks a wide range of Ramps, Handling Equipment, Mobile Access Steps & Unloading & Access Platforms conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

Access platforms that support trailer unloading without a dock are crucial in modern logistics and transport. These mobile access platforms are purpose-built to offer reliable, adjustable, and secure solutions for teams working with trailers of varied heights. With several versions available, customers can select platforms with rungs, steps, or additional width for multi-user operation.
Wind-down legs allow for levelling the unit on uneven ground, while fixed height platforms suit flat yard surfaces. Forklift pockets offer enhanced mobility when moving between bays, and jacking legs ensure platform stability once in place. For high-use environments, upgrading to heavy-duty wheels ensures longer platform lifespan and reduced wear under load.
