i The spika difference

  • We have been engineering and manufacturing custom access and tooling solutions for over 20 years. We leverage our experience by developing highly customized systems for restrictive aerospace and aviation programs to provide robust, high-quality access solutions that reduce injuries, improve tact time, and have a positive impact on your bottom line. 
  • Automation of height, extension, and interface can be incorporated into any platform or positioning system to ensure user-friendly access without the risk of human error. Additional custom-engineered support equipment for lifting, transporting, or positioning can be added to any work platform. 
  • Our Project Management department employs PMBOK Project Management practices to ensure compliance with rigorous technical and administrative requirements. Learn more about the Spika Way.
  • All products are designed to satisfy FOD controls and comply with OSHA 1910 Subpart D standards for Walking-Working Surfaces. 
  • Custom systems can be engineered to operate within special environments, such as explosion-proof areas, EST-controlled facilities, paint booths, or other environments that require contamination controls or special coatings. 
  • We operate within an NSF-certified ISO 9001:2015 AS9100D quality management system to guarantee a product that meets all customer requirements and ensures a high standard of quality, safety, and stability. Our quality program adheres to AS9100D standards for design reviews, weld fit checks, load tests, and customer buyoffs. Supporting data packages include load test reports, material certs, nonconformance reports, risk assessments, FEAs, and FOD control data.

"Spika can make a complicated custom application that meets the need, and if it doesn’t work, they change it the next day and do a prototype of the development. It helps to get you quickly narrowed in to the right solution... Spika’s design team was just like an extension of my design team.... From initial proposal to design to production, I feel like Spika is a big team player making us successful for our customer."
