BrandSafway highlights access range at World of Concrete

BrandSafway used the 2025 edition of World of Concrete to highlight its range of access products and solutions.

Held January 21-24, the global provider of access, forming and shoring and specialty services to the industrial, commercial and infrastructure markets, highlighted its battery-powered hoists, motorized access systems, suspended access products and the company’s latest development, Flexi Deck.

Available exclusively from Aluma Systems, part of the BrandSafway family of companies, Flexi Deck is a brand-new solution for the industry.

“Flexi Deck is an easy-to-use slab formwork system that can be moved manually and, thanks to the dropping heads, allows for the early dismantling of beams and planking used in the casting phase,” BrandSafway said. “It is lightweight yet robust, providing an optimal balance of strength and ease, ensuring maximum coverage with minimal amount of equipment.”

Another one of the highlights on stand was the company’s QuikDeck suspended access system designed for projects requiring open, adaptable platforms. It is used in tunnels, bridges and stadiums, allowing workers to operate safely in challenging environments.

“QuikDeck is an extremely popular solution for our clients because it is reliable, easily customized and enables contractors to complete their projects quickly and efficiently,” said Director, Product Management – QuikDeck, Shannon O’Connell. “QuikDeck is essentially a factory floor in the sky, since it can be built in the air, or on the ground, and then hoisted into position, allowing workers to safely and easily complete tasks in situations that were previously challenging to access. We continue to develop enhancements and modifications, such as a multi-level platform, that empower our clients to accomplish more than ever before.”

Visitors also saw Hydro Mobile’s M2 Summit motorized access system, which enables vertical mobility at speeds of up to 35 feet per minute. The system is designed to transport workers and materials without requiring additional independent fall protection.

The Spider SC1000 Voyager, a battery-powered hoist, was also among the solutions displayed. The hoist operates without the need for external power sources, reducing reliance on generators and minimizing setup time. A lithium-ion battery provides power for up to three days on a single charge.
