A SafeRack stair installation over a containment wall at a fuel terminal in Boise, ID. This ErectaStep installation uses the F1 form kit for both the tower support and the landing pad.
ErectaStep’s metal stair modular design offers a versatile and efficient solution for a wide range of industrial applications. The patent design is made up of five primary components—steps, platforms, handrails, ladders, and support towers—that can be easily configured to meet specific access needs. This modular approach allows for quick on-site assembly without the need for welding, hot permits, or specialized tools, significantly reducing installation time and costs. ErectaStep stairs are constructed from high-quality aluminum, making them lightweight yet durable, and are available in both powder-coated and galvanized finishes to suit various environmental conditions. The system is fully compliant with OSHA standards, ensuring safe and reliable access. Additionally, the modular design allows for easy expansion or reconfiguration as project requirements evolve, providing a flexible and long-lasting solution for safe access over obstacles such as pipes, dike walls, or other equipment.
The F1 form kits provide a comprehensive solution for constructing stair landing pads and tower foundations, requiring only the addition of concrete. These kits are particularly suitable for remote locations, as they can be assembled quickly, typically in under 10 minutes from unboxing to being ready for concrete pouring. Each kit includes all necessary components, including anchor bolts, to ensure a secure and durable foundation.
The installed ErectaStep metal stair system is engineered to meet critical safety standards, supporting a 50 psf live load, 20 psf for snow loads, and wind resistance up to 115 mph. This setup not only enhances safety but also demonstrates ErectaStep’s commitment to providing robust, compliant access solutions for industrial environments.
