Common Industrial Metal Stair Configurations

Metal Stairs

Metal stairs are built to last, so they can be used in general industrial practices. ErectaStep metal stairs are prefabricated and modular and are designed to meet OSHA standards, which is convenient for stairs widely incorporated in industrial premises like factories, warehouses, and other buildings where stable and solid stairs are required.

Rolling Stairs & Platforms

Metal stairs are built to last. They are prefabricated, and rolling stairs and platforms provide flexible and mobile ramps. What makes these stairs convenient is that they are portable and can be moved around and rearranged as and when needed in certain areas. They are commonly employed for maintenance work, activities that require short-term usage, or locations where the construction of a permanent staircase isn’t possible.

Ship Ladders

For industrial maintenance access, commercial storage, or access to rooftops and roof hatches, ship ladders are stairs with a steep angle, creating a short run and using less space, making them suitable for areas with limited space. These ladders provide a safe and efficient way to navigate vertical spaces where traditional stairs cannot fit. Common applications include access to mechanical rooms, mezzanines, and other tight areas.

Commercial Stairs

Commercial stairs, designed for commercial buildings, prioritize safety and must at least be IBC compliant. They are typically designed to be more attractive but still strong and can perform the required functions of staircases. They are commonly found in offices, shops, and public structures.

HVAC Access Stairs

HVAC units are often situated on a rooftop or ground level HVAC access stairs refer to rooftop stairs that are constructed to afford users a safe and easy means to reach HVAC units to check them over or make repairs. These stairs remove the requirement of workers having to carry along ladders, which makes work safer and more efficient. HVAC access stairs are handy to facilitate maintenance processes without the probability of an accident, such as falling in the working area.

Crossover Stairs

Crossover stairs are meant to provide the worker with a way to cross over obstacles like conveyors, pipelines or any other equipment. These stairs come in handy in areas where a constant flow of movement is necessary since they allow movement from one level to another without stopping. Crossover stairs enable safe and efficient mobility over barriers.

Access Platforms

Access platforms or elevated work platforms raise your workers to where a task or an entryway is. When you use the OSHA-compliant components of the ErectaStep system, your company can design and install a work platform that is successful and a necessity in areas where work is conducted at various heights, including equipment levels. These platforms, designed to meet OSHA standards, provide a safe working environment for workers. They are commonly found in production facilities, storage areas, and other related industries, ensuring safety and efficiency in the workplace.

Mezzanine Access Stairs

Mezzanine access stairs connect mezzanine levels to lower floors, providing safe and efficient access between different levels of a facility. These stairs are essential in warehouses and distribution centers where mezzanine storage is used to maximize space. Mezzanine access stairs ensure movement without risking injury, improving overall operational efficiency.

Roof Access Stair

Roof access stairs are special staircases widely used to provide safe access to rooftops. They are designed for maintenance work and checking and can also be used in case of emergencies to access the entire roof. Roof access stairs are designed and constructed to be operable in different weather conditions, and predetermined safety standards guide the working conditions on the roof.

Portable Access Trailer Stairs

Portable access trailer stairs, designed for convenience, are mobile stairs intended for trailers or any temporary structure. These stairs, solid and secure, allow people to safely and easily access trailers, making them useful in construction, events, and any situation where trailers are frequently moved or used for temporary periods. Their easy installation and folding down make them a convenient and practical choice.

Entryway Stairs

Entryway stairs are durable and safe stairs designed for facility entrances. These stairs are built to withstand heavy use and meet safety standards, making them a reliable access solution for any facility.

Stairs With Intermediate Landing

The stairs with intermediate landings include an intermediate platform that acts as a break for workers, which makes it easier and safer to climb up and down long stairs. These stairs make more sense in tall buildings or structures because if you have to climb them for some time, it might become tiresome.

Assembly Line Stair

ErectaStep stair and platform systems built alongside assembly areas or vehicle loading areas keep your workers at the right level to work comfortably and safely. A worker can reach any point of an assembly point or work area easily. If your company has needs for customized work platforms, ErectaStep can be molded around any work situation and to any level. Whether your company installs complex avionics or other components, an ErectaStep staired platform can handle the job.

Catwalks

Catwalks are raised access routes that allow individuals to move about safely over extensive areas or in regions containing barriers. They are widely used in industrial plants, warehouses and manufacturing units to give employees free access to working above the machines, conveyor belts or any equipment. These barriers offer a fairly clear view, are easy to navigate, and contribute to the orderliness of footwear and the reduction of accidents.

Loading Dock Access Stairs

Loading dock access stairs, designed for safety, provide workers with safe access to loading docks, reducing the risk of severe injuries while unloading cargo. These stairs are particularly beneficial in warehouses, distribution centers, and any building with loading docks, making workers’ movement safe and easy by offering them proper channels to follow.
