Banks Industrial Group needed an OSHA-compliant stair solution for a tight space. ErectaStep installed in under a day, replacing the old wooden stairs without special tools.

The ErectaStep team installed the ErectaStep equipment safely and efficiently and met the exact needs of their customer.


The robust aluminum handrails of the ErectaStep system certainly were sturdier than the wooden handrails previously being used. And the plywood that was used as their deck was replaced with a large ErectaStep platform. Because the space to access the Diesel Fuel Tank was too small for stairs, a ladder was used to replace the homemade wooden stairs. Finally, the ErectaStep team installed a Yellowgate Safety Gate ensuring the safety of the company’s employees as they were accessing the tank. The ErectaStep solution was OSHA complaint and improved the workspace, taking up less room… and more importantly, it helped employees avoid falls and potential injuries, ultimately making the process both safer and more efficient.
