Mackay Rail’s Platform Gap Fillers, when installed greatly, reduces the risk of passengers falling between the edge of the platform and train entry door when stopped, they also offer wheelchairs entry and exit from passenger trains unassisted. 

 

Different Rail Operators have opted for the different installation of Mackay Rail Platform Gap Fillers, some have selected to fix them to the Platform at nominated sections where the doors open whereas others have mounted them the full length of the platform.
