“Time is money and money is time, and ErectaStep helped us with both.”
– Alan Ward, Saint Paul Mountain Vineyard
Although many of our clients are in the industrial sector, we also provide access solutions for smaller businesses as well. When Saint Paul Mountain Vineyard in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina was ready to add winemaking to their business model, they toured other wineries to glean all the information they could about how to build a safe and efficient production facility. With 10,000 square feet of space to work with and more than a dozen fermentation tanks to install, a thoughtful access plan would be crucial to the success of the operation.
Customer | Saint Paul Mountain Vineyards |
Location | Hendersonville, NC |
Project | ErectaStep stair and catwalk installation to access fermentation tanks. |
Product | Fermenting wine |
High-quality components and flexibility were essential and our ErectaStep sales rep was ready with a customized design that could easily be reconfigured as production grew. Owner Alan Ward knew that most facilities have tanks that can’t easily be moved so a versatile catwalk access system was just the solution he was looking for. The pristine look of the winery was also matched by a unique, upscale powder coating on the platforms, treads, and towers to match the clean, simple aesthetic of the facility.

“We couldn’t believe how quickly the install went,” explained Ward. “I’ve seen a lot in the wine industry and working with ErectaStep was such a pleasant surprise.” Ward was also struck by the economically competitive pricing. “Time is money and money is time, and ErectaStep helped us with both.”
