November 7, 2024 Bedford ReadySeries FRP Structures at PACK EXPO

Debuting at PACK EXPO Bedford showcases its ReadySeries FRP platform to meet access & safety structure needs of the packaging industry.

BEDFORD, PA  — Bedford Reinforced Plastics — a full-service supplier offering an extensive line of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) products and services — will showcase its ReadySeries lineup in Booth LL-9436 at the PACK EXPO International trade show. This will be Bedford’s first time exhibiting at PACK EXPO, held November 3-6, 2024, at McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago.

As part of its debut at PACK EXPO, Bedford will showcase its newly enhanced ReadySeries platform, a key component of the interchangeable ReadySeries lineup.  The ReadySeries platform has been updated for greater ease of installation, more configurations and a refined aesthetic. ReadySeries products are also outfitted for ReadyShield UV-resistant coating that protects the modular components from harsh weather, extreme heat and humidity while maintaining the surface appearance and structural integrity.

Bedford has inventory of the ReadySeries platform, available for immediate shipping, in response to product demand.

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

“Our ReadySeries modular products make it possible for companies in the packaging and processing industry to enhance productivity and efficiency by addressing the safety and access needs for their operations,” said Eric Kidd, marketing director for Bedford Reinforced Plastics. “Our pre-engineered components and sizes create affordable, customized solutions for any packaging facility by offering multiple configurations that are ready to ship and designed for easy installation.”

ReadySeries FRP is fire-retardant, corrosion-resistant and non-conductive. Anti-slip coatings minimize slip and fall risks. Safety yellow coloring is available in all ReadySeries structures. Unlike metal and wood, ReadySeries FRP structures won’t rot, rust, warp or corrode. FRP is strong yet lightweight, allowing for easy installation with standard tools. The durability of FRP makes it an excellent choice for indoor and outdoor applications.

ReadySeries products include:

• Platform & Catwalk solutions are ideal for industrial access platforms, walkways, mezzanines and catwalk applications that don’t require a custom build. ReadySeries platform materials are available in 3’x3′, 3’x6′ and 3’x9′ increments and heights of 1′-6″, 2′-3″, 3′-0″, 3′-9″, 4′-6″, 5′-3″ and 6′-0″. Customers can also add ReadySeries stairs, ladders, handrails or guardrail components to achieve their ideal configuration.
• Fixed-Access Ladder solutions let customers quickly combine sections available in 10′ and 15′ increments for the desired ladder height. If needed, customers can quickly trim one section with ordinary tools for an exact fit or add a walk-through for a complete system.
• Handrail & Guardrail materials are perfect for both new structures and repairs. They are stocked in 3′, 8′, 15′ and 20′ 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 ReadySeries platform products for a complete safety solution.
• Stairs & Stair Towers adapt easily to almost any configuration. They fit in a 7′-6″ 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. ReadySeries stair sections are also used in conjunction with ReadySeries platform materials to meet any configuration needed.
