ErectaStep Platform Solution for High-Field Magnet Laboratory Equipment

ErectaStep Platform Accessing Laboratory Equipment

Project Overview

The project features an ErectaStep modular platform with industrial stairs designed to access a high-field magnet system within a scientific research laboratory. This installation demonstrates ErectaStep’s ability to provide OSHA-compliant, ergonomic, and durable access solutions for advanced technical environments such as NMR spectrometer facilities.

System Features

• Modular aluminum construction enables rapid assembly with bolt-together sections, eliminating the need for welding or field modifications, and supporting configuration flexibility.
• OSHA-compliant safety features include guardrails, non-slip diamond-tread platform, and optimal riser/tread geometry for safe operation around hazardous equipment.
• Corrosion-resistant materials withstand exposure to cryogenic liquids and chemicals typically found in laboratory settings.
• Prefabricated components enable rapid installation—typically completed in one day—helping minimize science operation downtime.

Application Benefits

• Reduces the risk of falls and work-related injuries by providing secure access to upper sections of complex lab equipment.
• Eliminates need for rental scaffolding or custom stick-built platforms, streamlining maintenance and calibration in high-tech laboratories.
• Easily reconfigurable for evolving research needs or equipment upgrades, supporting ongoing facility modernization.
