Applications

Access platforms and stairs (commonly referred to as catwalks) are multifaceted in the purpose they serve, but are primarily designed to facilitate the safe movement of workers and equipment from point A to point B. Once put in place, access platforms and stairs can help workers safely access valves, switches, equipment, and other elements that would otherwise be inconvenient to reach. For manufacturing purposes, they also serve as a reliable way to safely cross over pipes, conveyors, HVAC systems and packaging lines. Using a combination of 5 components: Prefabricated Metal Stairs, Metal work Platforms, Industrial Handrails, Aluminum Stairs/Ladders and a Tower Support, ErectaStep’s modular design is sturdy, requires no fabrication and quickly bolts together to provide metal stairs,
