What Are Work Platform Structures, Catwalks, and Mezzanines?

These systems are custom-engineered elevated structures that create safe access and usable space above the floor without expanding your building footprint.

  • Work Platforms (Equipment Platforms):
    Elevated surfaces designed to support equipment, maintenance, inspection, or assembly tasks.
  • Catwalks:
    Narrow, elevated walkways that provide safe passage over machinery, conveyors, tanks, or high-traffic areas.
  • Mezzanines:
    Larger intermediate floors that add square footage for storage, offices, or production areas.

Each system can be standalone or integrated into a single, connected access solution.

How Custom Industrial Access Systems Work

Engineered Structures That Fit Your Facility

Every platform, catwalk, and mezzanine is designed around your layout, loads, and workflow. No off-the-shelf compromises.

Modular or Fully Welded Construction

Structures can ship fully assembled or as bolt-together systems for easier installation in tight spaces.

Code-Compliant by Design

All systems are engineered to meet OSHA 1910, ADA (when required), and applicable building codes.

Built for Long-Term Use

Heavy steel construction, quality fasteners, and durable finishes ensure long service life in demanding environments.

Key Features of O’Mara Work Platforms, Catwalks, and Mezzanines

  • Non-slip decking, planking, or bar grating options
  • Custom stair, ladder, and access configurations
  • Modular, bolt-together, or welded designs
  • Paint or powder coat finishes with color options
  • Designed to support platforms, bins, tanks, and equipment
  • Pre-engineered for fast installation and fit-up

Benefits of Industrial Platforms, Catwalks, and Mezzanines

1. Maximize Vertical Space

Turn unused overhead space into productive floors for access, storage, or operations.

2. Improve Worker Safety

Wide platforms, non-slip surfaces, and full handrails reduce fall risk and eliminate unsafe ladder use.

3. Increase Productivity

Workers reach equipment faster, move tools safely, and work hands-free at proper heights.

4. Reduce Facility Congestion

Elevated walkways move foot traffic away from forklifts, machinery, and production zones.

5. Cost-Effective Expansion

Add usable space at a fraction of the cost of new construction or relocation.

6. Built to Adapt

Modular designs allow future expansion, reconfiguration, or relocation as needs change.

Work Platforms vs. Catwalks vs. Mezzanines: Key Differences

Work Platforms

  • Support equipment or specific tasks
  • Often classified as equipment
  • Ideal for maintenance, inspection, and assembly

Catwalks

  • Narrow pedestrian walkways
  • Provide safe access over hazards
  • Ideal for conveyors, valves, tanks, and utilities

Mezzanines

  • Large intermediate floors
  • Used for storage, offices, or production
  • Designed as permanent building structures

O’Mara helps you choose, or combine, the right solution.
