Temporary Pedestrian Up & Over Bridge

The Temporary Pedestrian Up & Over Bridge is an essential safety solution for overcoming on-site obstacles such as pipelines, trench boxes, low walls, or excavations. Ideal for construction professionals, infrastructure crews, and event site managers, this bridge provides temporary elevated access with stability and ease. Its platform is constructed with a modular design and paired with either 3-step or 6-step stair flights to customise the installation based on project requirements.

A key feature of this product is its folding mechanism, which allows for fast deployment, minimal transport costs, and space-saving storage. With anti-slip steps and built-in anti-folding safety locks, the system ensures safe, secure footing for pedestrians in high-traffic or hazardous environments. The inclusion of transport handles and lifting points makes crane-assisted repositioning fast and effortless—saving on labour time and reducing disruption.

Users benefit from full compliance with European Safety Standards and straightforward installation that doesn’t require licensed engineers—just professionals trained via the included manual. Whether crossing pipes on a utility project or navigating over temporary barriers at a large public event, this bridge provides peace of mind and flexibility.

Key Features & Benefits

Modular construction with folding capability allows for quick set-up, relocation, and compact storage across various job sites and events.

Adjustable step options (3 or 6 steps) ensure the platform can adapt to the required crossing height safely and easily.

Durable anti-slip steps, crane-lift points, and integrated carry handles prioritise safety and manual handling on uneven or hazardous terrain.

Compliant with European Safety Standards, enabling confident use on construction projects, civil engineering, or temporary public access routes.

No specialist licence required—installation is straightforward with reference to the included safety and maintenance manual.

Alternative Products

If your project involves restricted spatial layouts or requires access around circular structures such as silos, tanks or lift shafts, the Temporary Spiral Staircase offers a more suitable option. Its spiral design enables safe navigation in tighter spaces while maintaining compliance with safety regulations. Unlike the linear configuration of the Temporary Stairway, which is perfect for straight multi-level access, the spiral alternative is compact and space-efficient. It is ideal for internal shaft access during fit-outs, tight scaffolding environments, or heritage refurbishments where preserving structural aesthetics is critical. This makes it especially useful for projects requiring a blend of accessibility and design sensitivity. For job sites that shift daily or require constant reconfiguration of access points, using both stair types in tandem ensures flexibility and ongoing compliance. The spiral staircase’s modularity also allows it to scale with project demands, much like the straight stair system.

Both stairways are engineered for ease of handling, on-site assembly, and long-term reliability under heavy site use. Choosing between them depends on spatial constraints and preferred access layout. In tight or circular environments, the spiral version provides seamless usability without compromising on safety.
