The collaboration with Pilosio UK marks a new chapter for APA Height Access, cementing its role as a certified Flydeck® UK partner and installer.

A New Benchmark in Safety and Innovation

The Flydeck system, developed and patented by Pilosio, is designed for horizontal work on elevated surfaces such as viaducts, bridges, jetties, stadiums, ceilings, and offshore platforms. It promises significant improvements in efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

“We are thrilled to explore the UK market with APA Height,” said Mr Nereo Parisotto, CEO & Owner of Pilosio. “This will allow us to establish a direct presence in England, significantly reducing the distance for our customers and ensuring they have access to a certified Flydeck UK partner and installer.”

Darren Shepherd, Operations Director for APA Height Access, added, “Pilosio’s commitment to quality and innovation aligns perfectly with our mission of providing advanced suspended access solutions to the UK markets. The Flydeck system is a game changer in suspended installation, developed by a scaffolder for scaffolders. During my recent visit to Italy, I was impressed by the Pilosio group’s production, development, and utilisation of the system.”

Demonstration and Training Facility

To showcase the Flydeck system’s capabilities, a demonstration and training unit has been installed at APA’s South Yorkshire facilities. This setup will allow potential customers to experience the system’s advantages firsthand and understand its application in their own projects.

“We strongly believe in the synergy between Pilosio UK and APA Height Access,” said Andy Graham, MD of Pilosio UK. “This facility will enable customers to attend demonstrations, discuss future projects, and witness the Flydeck system in action. This will help them gain confidence in our ‘one-stop-shop’ approach to design, engineering, supply, and installation, and identify the best technical solutions for their projects.”
