Erectastep metal stairs and ladders in action

This photo shows an ErectaStep system with two fixed ladders and a YellowGate Safety Gate. The platform was designed so workers could service the piece of machinery that is on top of the platform. There are a number of questions that could be raised about this type of installation.

Why should I Install a work platform?


Q: Why should I install a work platform when I can use a ladder?
A: A ladder is temporary. Is the installed machinery temporary? How often will it have to be accessed for maintenance? If this machine needs to be accessed frequently for adjustments, etc. then an installed work platform makes so much sense. Workers can reach the machine and work on it in comfort due to the generous amount of space that the ErectaStep platform provides.

Q: The ladders we use are OSHA compliant. Why should I put up a platform?
A: The ErectaStep platform system provides instant OSHA compliance. Every component in the system is already OSHA compliant right out of the box. What you get with an ErectaStep system is an excellent product that gives you something a ladder cannot. Superior Fall Protection!

Q: How does ErectaStep offer fall protection that a ladder cannot?
A: Look closely at the photo. The strong metal guardrails on the platform are bolted to the platform to create stability and protection for workers with heavy tools who have a need to squat, stand, kneel and even lay down to work on this machine. You cannot work with confidence on a ladder.

Q: How long would it take to design a system for my plant and then get a price quote?
A: Most systems can be designed and given a price quote in less than 30 minutes.

Q: Why do I need a Safety Gate?
A: A Safety Gate is an option on ErectaStep systems that add another layer of fall protection for your companies workers and contractors. The gate provides an extra pause before stepping down to a fixed ladder.

Q: How long would it take to install a system like this around a machine that we have in our plant?
A: Most installations can be completed in less than a day by two people with a hand-truck and a small number of tools.

Q: How do I get started, and how long will it take to get my system?
