Bedford To Showcase ReadySeries Modular FRP Safety Structures At POWERGEN International 2022

Bedford Reinforced Plastics

Bedford Reinforced Plastics — a full-service supplier offering an extensive line of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) products and services — will exhibit its ReadySeries lineup in booth 4839 at the upcoming POWERGEN International trade show May 23–25, 2022, in Dallas.

The recently launched ReadySeries lineup is the first and broadest FRP modular solution to meet access and safety structure needs. The ReadySeries system includes industrial platforms, mezzanines, walkways, catwalks, fixed ladders, handrails, guardrails, stairs, stair towers, pedestrian bridges and more for nearly limitless configurations. Each easy-to-install modular product can be used independently or can be combined with other products in the series.

An ideal solution for meeting industrial safety needs quickly and affordably, ReadySeries structures are OSHA compliant. Unlike wood and metal, ReadySeries FRP is fire-retardant, corrosion-resistant, and non-conductive. Anti-slip coatings minimize fall and slip risks. Safety yellow coloring is available in all relevant components.

“We’re excited to offer the power generation industry the opportunity to not only learn about ReadySeries, but also see it in person,” said Eric Kidd, marketing director for Bedford Reinforced Plastics. “Bedford products can help facilities, safety and manufacturing professionals minimize maintenance costs while building long-lasting solutions to meet a wide variety of needs.”

ReadySeries products highlighted during the show will include:

  • ReadyPlatform solutions are ideal for industrial access platforms, walkways, mezzanines and catwalk applications that don’t require a custom build. ReadyPlatform materials are available in 3x3' increments, and heights of 1-1/2', 3', 4-1/2' and 6'. Customers can also add ReadyStair, ReadyLadder or ReadyRail components to get their ideal configuration.
  • ReadyLadder solutions let customers quickly combine sections available in 10' and 15' increments to get the desired ladder height. If needed, customers can quickly trim one section with ordinary tools to get an exact fit or add a walk-through for a complete system.
  • ReadyRail guardrail and handrail materials are perfect for both new structures and repairs. They are stocked in 3' sections, and you can also specify the length of your railing run and Bedford will package all components into a handy kit. Materials can be used on their own or to complement ReadyPlatform products for a complete safety solution.
  • ReadyStair stair towers adapt easily to almost any configuration. They fit in a 7-1/2' by 12' nominal footprint, rising in 6' increments between landings. When needed, a short stretch of up or down stairs is provided for the final transition at the top. ReadyStair sections are also used in conjunction with ReadyPlatform materials to meet any configuration needed.
