What We Do


Bridge Work Platforms

CSS works with Clients and project requirements to provide a complete solution for suspended platform systems (both static and traversing capabilities). These platforms can be configured to support large construction loads.

We select from multiple systems options for both light and heavy-duty applications and consider all project requirements to prepare an optimal solution.

CSS works with reputable structural engineers and designers (familiar with our specialized systems) who approve the final design and configuration.

Our platforms can be used for a variety of applications, some of which include:



System Scaffold

With over $4 million dollars of system scaffold, CSS has one of the largest inventories of scaffolding in Northern California.

We provide custom scaffolding solutions for Bridge Towers, Stair towers, and Dance floors for Industrial Vessels and Tanks.

Depending on the nature and the magnitude of the project CSS can also provide installation services for our systems.


Hoists and Winches

CSS inventories a wide range of man-rated Tirak traction hoists configured with either air or electric motors for light and medium duty applications (up to 5,850 lbs. ea.) as well as Lantec hydraulic winches complete with Detroit Diesel powerpacks for heavy duty platform lifting.
