Generator Work Platform

Proud to share the completion of this purpose‑designed generator work platform, engineered and manufactured by Austeng to support the assembly and maintenance of large wind turbine generators.

The platform provides safe, full‑circumference access for personnel working around the generator and rotor support ring during critical assembly operations, while also incorporating dedicated handling and working features to streamline workflow on site.

This was a highly specialised design with a number of unique engineering requirements, including:
• All non‑ferrous construction, specifically engineered to operate safely around the powerful magnetic fields within the generator
• Complex geometry, featuring a circular internal profile to suit the generator envelope, combined with an external polygonal (hexagonal) structure for strength and modular segmentation
• Fully modular architecture, allowing the entire platform to be disassembled and packed into two standard 40 ft shipping containers for efficient transport between sites
• A custom integrated work table, designed to support on‑platform tooling and assembly tasks at working height
• A custom roll‑over gate and pallet landing, enabling controlled material transfer onto the platform while maintaining edge protection and operator safety
• Designed and manufactured to comply with Australian Standards (AS 1657) for platforms, walkways and stair systems

Delivered end‑to‑end — from detailed engineering and 3D modelling through to fabrication, test assembly and documentation — this project showcases Austeng’s capability to deliver highly bespoke, safety‑critical equipment for the renewable energy sector.
