Catwalk
Explore durable and customizable Catwalk solutions that enhance safety and accessibility in your facility.
Catwalks are essential structures in industrial and manufacturing environments, providing elevated walkways that allow employees to safely navigate over machinery, equipment, or other obstacles. These steel structures not only enhance safety but also improve accessibility, making it easier for workers to perform maintenance, inspections, and other tasks. They are versatile, customizable, and designed to meet the specific needs of your facility, ensuring that they integrate seamlessly into your existing infrastructure.
What are Catwalks?
Catwalks are elevated walkways made from steel or other durable materials, typically used in industrial settings to provide safe access to high or hard-to-reach areas. These structures are often prefabricated and can be customized to suit the specific needs of a facility. Catwalks are crucial for ensuring that workers can navigate safely and efficiently around equipment, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall productivity.
Key Features of Steel Catwalks
Modular
Design
The bolt-together design of catwalks makes them easy to install and adaptable to future modifications. This modular approach allows for flexibility in design and application.
Prefabricated & Customizable
Catwalks come in prefabricated designs that you can customize to meet the unique requirements of your facility. You can choose specific decking options or custom railing designs, and these structures will be tailored to suit your needs.
Durable Construction
Built from steel and often coated with a 4-MIL powder coating, catwalks are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environments. This durability ensures a long-lasting solution that can handle heavy foot traffic and resist corrosion.
Safety Compliant
Catwalks are engineered to meet OSHA and IBC safety standards, providing peace of mind that your facility is compliant with all relevant regulations. Features like safety gates, stair systems, and ladders can be added to enhance safety further.
The Benefits of Installing Catwalks in Your Facility
Enhanced Safety and Accessibility
One of the primary benefits of installing catwalks is the improved safety they provide. By creating a designated walkway above machinery and other obstacles, catwalks reduce the risk of falls and other accidents. This improved accessibility also means that workers can reach high or hard-to-access areas more efficiently, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
Customization for Specific Applications
Catwalks can be customized to meet the specific needs of your facility. Whether you require a specific type of decking for foot traffic, pallet jacks, or adherence to building codes, these structures can be designed to fit your exact specifications. This customization ensures that the catwalks are not only functional but also enhance the overall efficiency of your operation.
Quick and Easy Installation
The modular, bolt-together design of prefabricated catwalks allows for quick and easy installation. This means less downtime during the installation process and a faster return to full operation. The ease of installation also makes these structures ideal for facilities that may need to modify or expand their catwalk systems in the future.

Applications of Catwalks in Industrial Settings
Equipment Access
In many industrial settings, machinery and equipment are often placed in areas that are difficult to reach. Catwalks provide a safe and efficient way for workers to access these areas, whether for routine maintenance, inspections, or emergency repairs. By providing a stable walkway above the equipment, catwalks reduce the need for ladders or other unsafe methods of access.
Employee Walkways
Catwalks can also serve as elevated walkways for employees, allowing them to move safely across a facility without interfering with operations on the ground level. This separation of foot traffic from machinery and vehicles enhances safety and reduces the risk of accidents.
Storage Solutions
In addition to providing walkways, catwalks can be integrated into storage systems, allowing for the efficient use of vertical space in a warehouse or industrial facility. By incorporating catwalks into your storage design, you can increase storage capacity without expanding the footprint of your facility.
