Popular configurations adjusted to the height of your project and pre-engineered to OSHA standards. Install in days, not weeks.
ErectaStep, a leading manufacturer of industrial safety and access solutions, today announces the launch of ErectaStep ProXL — a pre-engineered, bolt-together access system designed for the most common elevated access applications. ProXL is available now through ErectaStep’s network of authorized distributors.
ProXL is built for the access jobs that come up every week — power generator access, modular buildings and job trailers, valves and maintenance points, catwalks and elevated walkways, and any elevated access point. Instead of custom-engineering every platform from scratch, ProXL gives engineers, EHS managers, and facility teams a set of popular configurations that ship quickly and install in days.
WHAT PROXL IS
ProXL is a pre-engineered access platform available in popular configurations, each with 1 to 6 step heights to match the elevation required by your application. Adjustable legs add ±3″ of fine adjustment in 1″ increments, dialing in level footing on uneven ground and setting the walk surface to the right height for the job.
Handrails and stairs reposition to suit the site, giving teams the flexibility to fit the platform to the equipment — not the other way around. The aggressive-traction, non-slip platform surface keeps footing sure in any condition, indoors or out. Pre-engineered to OSHA standards and easy to bolt together with hand tools, ProXL ships quickly and installs in days, not weeks.
POPULAR CONFIGURATIONS
Standard ProXL
Platform: 8′ × 3′ 9″
Most common footprint. Stair and handrail positioned to suit site requirements.
Wide ProXL
Platform: 7′ 6″ × 4′
Wider footprint with added clearance to accommodate 36″ generator doors while maintaining OSHA-required clearance. Stair and handrail positioned to suit.
Catwalk
Platform: 16′ × 3′ 9″
Extended-run access for inline equipment, valves, and maintenance points along a single elevation.
L / Corner
Platform: 8′ × 11′ 3″
Wraps around equipment for multi-side access at the same elevation.
WHAT MAKES PROXL DIFFERENT
- OSHA compliant out of the crate. Handrails, midrails, toe boards, stair angle, tread depth, and platform load ratings are built into every configuration.
- Popular configurations. Field-proven footprints for the most common access applications — no custom engineering required.
- Adjustable heights. 1 to 6 steps, plus six inches of leg adjustment to fit your site.
- Repositionable stairs and handrails. Configure entry and rails to suit the site.
- Bolts together. Hand tools only. No welding, cranes, or special equipment.
- Made in the USA. Industrial-grade aluminum. Lightweight. Maintenance-free.
- Ships and installs in days. Configure, order, assemble — often in the same week.
ENGINEERED TO OSHA STANDARDS
ProXL is pre-engineered to meet or exceed OSHA 1910 Subpart D requirements for walking-working surfaces:
- Platforms — 50 PSF load rating · aggressive-traction, non-slip surface.
- Stairs — 1,000 lb load rating at standard angle.
- Handrails — 200 lb load rating · powder-coated safety yellow · 3’6″ height with midrail and 4″ toe board.
- Adjustable legs — 200 lb uplift anchoring · ±3″ in 1″ increments.
- Material — industrial-grade aluminum · lightweight · maintenance-free · Made in the USA.
PAIR WITH A YELLOWGATE SAFETY GATE
For added fall protection at the platform opening, ProXL is engineered to integrate directly with YellowGate self-closing safety gates. YellowGate is OSHA 1910.29(b) compliant for ladder and stair openings and bolts directly to the ProXL handrail without modification, closing the opening that most often becomes a fall hazard on elevated platforms.
