Our range includes foot lock functions, easy slopes plus many are suitable for narrow aisles and portable and plastic solutions too. The stainless steel steps are made with a fully steel welded framework and are built with anti-slip tread surfaces resistant to water, oil and most chemicals. These products are easy to clean and hygienic and are built with spring loaded castors. The foot lock feature has a simple foot lock operation to mobilise and immobilise the steps. Most of our mobile range is fitted with handrails on either side of the steps to make it the optimum unit in comparison to a traditional ladder.
What is the Purpose of the Series Mobile Safety Steps?
Safety steps are a prerequisite in most commercial, industrial and government facilities and buildings when there is a need for manual elevation for any purpose.

Available in a wide range of models ranging from 3-tread to 16-tread units, the mobile safety steps should be a standard piece of equipment in every location where there is a need for people to, well, move up a notch or sixteen.

This versatile and sturdy range of products can be used in most locations where there is a need to conduct work at a level higher than the average height of a person. Mobile steps are an essential component of every robust ‘safety at work’ programme, and are found in warehouses, stock rooms, inspection bays, aircraft hangars, airport terminals, factories, industrial buildings and nearly everywhere there is a need for employees to ‘step up and do the job,’ as it were. Many locations with high ceilings are designed this way in order to maximise space, and when this is the case, these safety steps are invariably required for one purpose or other.

Interesting Facts About Safety Steps
Aircraft safety steps are more elaborate versions of their commercial and industrial cousins, but essentially have the same features. However, safety features on aircraft steps are usually enhanced to a level that makes them usable by anyone – just like ordinary stairs. This is done because users of aircraft steps may not be trained in safety practices, as industrial workers invariably are. But, it is still dangerous to treat these like regular stairs, which is why airlines always have one person standing at the top and one at the bottom of the steps at all times when the steps are in use by passengers.
