Safe Access to Electrical Control Equipment in Snowy Conditions
Key Features for Snowy Conditions
- Aggressive Grip Strut Tread: The platform and stair treads feature an aggressive grip strut surface, providing superior traction to prevent slips in snow, ice, or wet environments.
- Self-Draining Design: Both the platform and stair treads are engineered to allow snow and water to drain away, preventing accumulation and reducing hazards caused by standing water or ice.
- Weather-Resistant Materials: Constructed from corrosion-resistant industrial-grade aluminum,this access platform is built to endure harsh outdoor climates while requiring minimal maintenance.
- High-Visibility Components: Safety yellow powder-coated handrails enhance visibility in low-light or snowy conditions, reducing the risk of accidental impacts or missteps.
- OSHA Compliant: Meets OSHA 1910.25 for working platforms and 1910.29 for fall protection
Benefits of the ErectaStep System
- Enhanced Worker Safety: Aggressive grip strut treads ensure traction in snowy conditions, while OSHA-compliant handrails prevent falls.
- Quick Installation: The prefabricated, bolt-together stair and access platform was installed with minimal ground preparation, typically within one day.
- Durable and Modular Design: The corrosion-resistant system is built for long service life and can be expanded or relocated as needed.
- Optimized Access: Provides ideal working clearance for pole-mounted electrical equipment, minimizing maintenance time.
- Weather-Ready Performance: Designed for all-season use with minimal maintenance requirements.
Practical Applications
