General - Stairs with Platform

Applications & Use Cases

• Providing safe elevated access to processing lines, tanks, or machinery in food production facilities.
• Creating stable working platforms for inspection, maintenance, or operational tasks.
• Integrating into existing production infrastructure to improve workflow and operator safety.
• Facilitating ergonomic access to equipment that requires frequent manual interaction.

Typical Specifications

Typical load capacity

Typically designed to support at least one to two operators and light tools, commonly rated for 150-300 kg.

Material construction

For food processing, units of this type are almost exclusively constructed from 304 or 316-grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Platform height

Platform heights vary significantly but are typically between 1000mm and 2500mm to suit common equipment access requirements.

Safety features

Commonly includes non-slip treads, handrails, and toe boards to comply with workplace safety regulations.

Footprint considerations

The overall footprint will depend on the platform size and the number/angle of stairs, requiring adequate floor space for safe installation and use.

Mobility

Units can be fixed or mobile; fixed units are bolted to the floor, while mobile units often feature lockable castors for repositioning.
