Work Platform S is the standard, compact variant of Buitink Technology’s inflatable work platform. It is designed for maintenance, inspection and repair work inside confined industrial spaces such as smaller silos, tanks and installations where traditional scaffolding is impractical or impossible.

The platform is brought inside as a compact package through a manhole or access opening and, once inflated, forms a stable temporary work floor at the required height. Anchoring to the wall is not required, as the platform stabilises itself through controlled internal air pressure.

Work Platform S is typically selected where internal diameters are limited, access is only possible through small openings and a stable work floor must be created quickly with minimal internal logistics.
