FIXED DECK
The Fixed Deck Platform from Samson Equipment is a
simple, easy to install and robust crane loading platform
designed for the general loading of materials into or out
of high-rise construction projects.
Quickly and easily installed into either steel or concrete
framed structures, the Fixed deck can dramatically
reduce the time it takes to load out floors by lifting
materials directly from transport to the floors required,
increasing crane productivity on site.
Safety features such as fold down props allow for
easy installation without the need to remove edge
protection and a load bearing outer rail can support
long loads without the hazard of front opening gates
often seen on other platforms, particularly useful when
stripping formwork.
A flush to floor deck allows tall objects such as prefabricated
bathroom pods to be easily installed
between floor plates with no loss of headroom, whilst
fully enclosed sides, a non-slip deck and safety harness
attachment points keep operatives safe at any height.
Available in various sizes to suit any application, the
Samson Fixed deck is a simple, robust value for money
option for contractors needing to lift and load out materials
quickly and safely on high-rise construction sites.

RETRACTABLE PLATFORM
The Retractable Platform from Samson Equipment
is a multi-level loading system designed to allow
simultaneous loading of different floor levels without
the need to relocate individual platforms.
The ability to install the platforms in a vertical ‘stack’
directly above one another allows the remainder of the
building façade to be closed up whilst still allowing access
to each floor for the loading and unloading of materials.
The Samson Retractable Deck can be installed flush
with the leading edge of the floor plate to allow mast
climbers to easily operate without interference whilst
the simple push/pull mechanism allows the platform
to be easily extended or retracted by one person.
The platform also incorporates Samson’s unique ‘folding
2 prop’ system which allows the platform to be installed
without the need to remove edge protection which
eliminates working at height hazards usually associated
with this type of operation.
A non-slip deck, fully enclosed side panels and safety
harness attachment points keep operatives safe at any
height and a load bearing outer rail allows for long loads
to be landed on the platform without the need to open
any gates, another safety feature exclusive to Samson
Crane Loading Platforms.

HARDIDECK PLATFORM
The HARDIDECK Platform is a revolutionary new product
from Samson Equipment which has been designed as
a cross-over between a fixed and a retractable crane
loading platform. It has taken the advantages of both
types of system and combined them to produce
a product that is truly unique.
As with a retractable platform, Hardideck’s can be
installed in a vertical ‘stack’ directly above one another
allowing the remainder of the building to be closed up,
but unlike the retractable platform, the deck finishes
flush with the floor slab so no ramp or loss of headroom
when installing tall objects such as bathroom pods into
the structure.
It achieves this by the clever use of a detachable
‘Outboard’ section which can be lifted up or down to the
required floor level and then connected to a pre-installed
‘Inboard’ section.
This has the advantage of never having to relocate the
whole platform to another level as the ‘Inboard’ sections
remain in place at all times.
Relocation of the ‘Outboard’ section to another level
takes less than 2 minutes and as all actions are carried
out from within the safety of the ‘Inboard’ section, there
is no need for safety harnesses as operatives are never
exposed to an open edge.
Crane utilization is vastly increased as the operator is
always picking from the same position so loads can be
landed that much quicker increasing productivity on site.

PODLIFTER
The PODLIFTER from Samson Equipment is an
innovative alternative to Crane Loading Platforms for
the lifting and installation of large, bulky objects such as
pre-fabricated bathroom pods quickly and safely to any
position on a building structure that can be reached by
mobile or tower crane.
Materials are loaded into the PODLIFTER at ground level
and then lifted by crane up to the required offloading
position on the structure. It is then tied off securely to
anchor points within the building allowing operatives to
unload the Podlifter from within the safety of the building.
Because the full weight of the PODLIFTER plus it’s load
is supported by the crane at all times, there is no need
for any additional propping to the structure or costly
temporary works calculations.
The Samson PODLIFTER is available in various sizes and
capacities to suit any application from installing pods to
replacement of redundant machinery in plant rooms. And
because the Samson PODLIFTER is manufactured in the
UK by Cranetech, the original inventors of the Podlifter,
you are assured of a quality product engineered to the
highest standards of safety.
