Bedford Reinforced Plastics will showcase its ReadySeries lineup in Booth E11446 at the ProMat 2025 trade show. This will be Bedford’s first time exhibiting at ProMat, held March 17–20, at McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago.

As part of its debut at ProMat, Bedford will display 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.

The broadest FRP modular solution to meet access and safety structure needs of the manufacturing and supply chain 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 manufacturing, distribution and the supply chain equipment industry to improve productivity by addressing the safety and access needs within their operations,” said Eric Kidd, marketing director for Bedford Reinforced Plastics. “Our pre-engineered components offer multiple configurations that are ready to ship and designed for easy installation in nearly any facility.”

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:

PLATFORMS & CROSSOVERS
Platforms and crossovers are ideal solutions 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 LADDERS
Fixed-access ladders let customers quickly combine sections, available in 10' and 15' increments, for the desired ladder height. If needed, customers can easily trim one section with ordinary tools for an exact fit or add a walk-through for a complete system.

HANDRAIL & GUARDRAIL
Handrail and 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.

STAIR TOWERS
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.
