Star Platforms Invests in Specialist Low-Level Access Equipment for Data Centre Projects
Published Date: 30 September 2026
Star Platforms has expanded its specialist fleet with the introduction of the JLG Nano 30CS and Power Tower CS, two compact low-level access platforms developed for safe and efficient work in restricted indoor environments.
As data centre construction projects become increasingly complex, contractors need access solutions that can operate within restricted areas throughout construction, fit-out and commissioning.
The two platforms are ideal for applications where conventional access equipment may be impractical, including plant rooms, service corridors, ceiling voids, and areas around fixed infrastructure. Their compact footprints let them pass through standard doorways and operate in restricted work areas.
The JLG Nano 30CS offers a working height of 4.95 metres and a safe working load of 200kg, while the Power Tower CS provides a working height of 5 metres and a safe working load of 250kg. Both are electric push-around platforms developed for indoor use.
The machines feature compact 550mm × 550mm baskets, built-in tool-tethering solutions and anti-climb guardrails. Their narrow design allows operators to work safely within ceiling tile frames and access services above suspended ceilings. Both the Power Tower CS and the Nano 30CS can raise an operator to waist height through a ceiling tile opening, providing a practical solution for installing and maintaining cabling, containment and other overhead infrastructure. Both models also feature lift-to-open gates for added safety and automatic locking wheels when raised for added stability.
Richard Stok, Data Centre Division Director at Star Platforms, said:
“We spend a great deal of time on site with our customers, which gives us first-hand insight into the challenges they face during data centre build programmes.
“The addition of the JLG Nano 30CS and Power Tower CS responds directly to customer demand for safe, practical access solutions that can be used in restricted areas.
“Alongside investing in specialist equipment, we are continuing to develop the training, guidance and on-site support that help project teams work safely and maintain productivity throughout every stage of a build.”
