■A galvanized steel self-closing gate can be located at the guardrail level of the
fan deck, the exterior motor access platform and/or the access door platform for
enhanced fall protection. Stainless steel is available with the stainless guardrail
option. For the comfort and safety of your operating personnel, we recommend
that you specify a self-closing gate. Many user’s own safety rules may dictate
these options.

■ Where fluid coolers are installed on an elevated grillage or piers, it is often dif-
ficult to get to—and through—the access door conveniently. This platform pro-
vides easy, safe, and comfortable access to that door. It also extends beyond
the door to provide ready access to the optional Control System.

■ A galvanized steel walkway enables easy access to inspect collection basin
items such as the coil, coil eliminators, sump screen and make-up valve and
provides a dry working area to view and access the drive system.
■ An elevated fiberglass bar grating service platform with aluminum ladder pro-
vides a permanent working surface to inspect and maintain the mechanical
equipment components.
