The Foundation modular platform system makes elevating workers simpler and faster than ever. Unlike traditional plywood work platforms, the Foundation platform, built on a solid aluminum frame, is completely customizable. It can be fit to match the area around the work space to elevate workers to the proper working height. The platform system keeps workers safe and healthier by raising the work surface above tripping hazards, wet slippery areas and exposed wires. Heights are available from 4″ to 12″. The diamond plate tile is 18″ x 18″ and allows superior traction when required for slippery areas, keeping workers safe and upright.
The Foundation system is more economical than traditional built platforms and adds the convenience of being easy to reconfigure as needs change.
We offer several pre-sized Foundation platform kits to select from below. If you have specific custom design needs check out the Planning tabbelow or contact us directly to discuss your application design.

Platform System
DP Tile
The diamond plate grid tile adds superior traction to your platform, and finishes your platform layout with industrial grade looks. Built in lift slots make it easy to remove the tiles and access underneath. Sure-footed employees make for a safer, more productive team.
Modular platforms can be connected with each other to make a larger platforms. They can also be taken apart and reconfigured. Typically, fully customized platforms use plywood and other available materials to build a platform to a specific height or shape. These custom builds typically cannot be taken apart or re-used once assembled.
A mezzanine is a permanent intermediate level within a building that is part of its physical structure; e.g., a partial story between two main stories of a building (auditorium, theater, entrance lobby, etc.).
Stairs are not required for FOUNDATION platforms. FOUNDATION platforms have stock heights of 4", 8", and 12", though we can make custom heights when necessary. Steps are only required for platforms over 19 inches tall.
Stairs are not required to use FOUNDATION unless it is over 19 inches heigh. We can work with customers on an individual basis, but we do not carry stairs for FOUNDATION.
When planning out your platform, it can be useful to use a piece of grid paper. If you think of each square as representing 18"x18", then you can draw your design and plan it from the graph paper.
A Wearwell expert can help you determine which parts and pieces will be necessary for your design. The brochure is also very helpful. Contact Wearwell for any information you need and we are happy to help.
FOUNDATION is the only modular platform system that takes no expertise to design, put together, or reconfigure. FOUNDATION by Wearwell can be customized within 18 x 18" increments, and can be made as large or small as needed. FOUNDATION can create full work floors, or small stand alone platform steps. FOUNDATION also comes with three unique work surfaces to best serve your work.
FOUNDATION will not become slippery when the proper surface is used. Open surface has traction points and allows overspray and liquids to drain through. Diamond-Plate has protruding diamonds to grip users feet and allow them to plant firmly in wet with water areas.
Before moving or disassembling, be sure FOUNDATION is clear of any obstacles or dangers. Then begin to disassemble FOUNDATION the same way it was put together.
Carts and certain rolling equipment can be used on the Smooth surface, but considerations must be made as the point load from a wheel can reduce the tile's max capacity of 400 lbs. To enquire further, determine the weight of the cart, your wheel diameter and width, and reach out to a Wearwell expert.
Carts can be used atop Smooth FOUNDATION. We recommend wheels with a soft (rubber or urethane surface), a diameter of at least 5" and a width of at least 2".
We do not recommend stacking platforms. FOUNDATION has the ability to create multiple heights within a single installation. For more information on this contact a Wearwell expert.
FOUNDATION surface tiles are made of polypropylene. This is good at handling chemicals. We recommend Open Tiles to allow chemicals to drain through the surface. However, no material is resistant to all chemicals. If your application will expose Foundation to frequent exposure to chemicals contact a Wearwell expert.
Foundation can be moved and reconfigured, smaller sections can are light enough to be picked up and moved, but it is not mobile in the sense that it has wheels.
FOUNDATION is available with rubber feet to prevent sliding and scratching the floor on smaller platforms, anchors to allow for semi-permanent installations, and toe plates to prevent tools from dropping or rolling off. Another accessory is a yellow spray-paint that works specifically with FOUNDATION surface tiles and toe plates. It can be used to paint toeplates, or call out the perimeter of a surface tile. There are also three different surface tiles to choose from, each with a different purpose.
We accept returns if they have not been used/ put on the floor. All returns must be in re-sellable condition. Once Wearwell receives the return they can make a judgement on condition and issue credit as necessary
FOUNDATION can be returned if it has not been used. Wearwell cannot cover freight back. Once received, Wearwell can make a judgement on condition and issue credit as necessary. Wearwell can work with you to determine the exact parts and pieces you will need for your layout.
FOUNDATION is not recommended for use as stairs, but it can make a good single step. Please contact us for questions about steps for your layout. FOUNDATION heights do not require steps to be used.
FOUNDATION is used in many industries, including food processing, automotive manufacturing, fulfillment, general manufacturing, etc. Platforms are found in the majority of production environments.
In general we are selling FOUNDATION as one height per platform. However, it is possible to connect two different heights. Please work with a Wearwell specialist to determine what special connection is required.
To assemble a 5+ inch FOUNDATION Platform, you need at least: two leg/ beam assemblies, two cross braces, and the number of tiles required to span your size. Each tile is 18" x 18".
FOUNDATION is incredibly chemical resistant. The aluminum framework is lightweight and strong, while the post consumer recycled polypropylene tiles can resist heavy oils and chemicals.
ErgoDeck tiles cannot be used instead of FOUNDATION tiles. However, ErgoDeck can be used atop FOUNDATION as an anti-fatigue floor. We recommend using ErgoDeck atop FOUNDATION Smooth tiles.
FOUNDATION platforms are designed to be sturdy and not tip under normal use when used on a hard, flat surface. Rubber feet or anchoring can be used on most s all size platforms.
The Foundation modular platform system is available in multiple size kits with varying widths, heights and lengths for just about any size application where an elevated platform system is required. Here you will find additional accessories, parts and tiles for expanding or customizing your platform system. Individual tiles can be ordered as single units or in a case of 4.
Please note that some parts are specifically marked for the 4″ high platforms and some are made for the 5-12″ height platform.
