Retractable Overhead Access Platform

Retractable Overhead Access Platform™
(“R.O.A.P.”)

*NEW* - a retractable platform to enable access to overhead machine for machine room-less elevators (MRLs)

*NEW* Enable safer access to overhead machines in MRLs where the reach is too far. 

Wall-mounted, retractable platform that brings overhead MRL machine within 60”
Adds < 2 lb permanent weight to car top
No reduction of overhead clearances
Retracts to < 3” off hoistway wall
Dual pivoting action allows ladder/platform to clear overhead beam upon retraction and car top guardrail upon extension
3 platform sizes available to fit car top configurations: 24”x24”, 24”x20”, 24”x16”
Comes with working platform electrical device (safety switch)
Lightweight aluminum construction, < 30 lbf required to deploy or retract platform
Traction Tread rungs, slip-resistant and self-cleaning with multi-direction grip
A single R.O.A.P. provides access to one side of overhead machine. If access to both sides of machine required, install two R.O.A.P.s, one on each side
Note: R.O.A.P. does not have A17.1 code-required Standard Railing and requires the wearing of full fall protection equipment
Due to non-compliance with A17.1, it is the responsibility of the elevator contractor to obtain AHJ acceptance before purchasing / installing R.O.A.P.
Made with pride in the USA
