ErectaStep access platform installation at a Royal Mail package handling facility in England is helping keep the mail moving smoothly. This modular steel platform provides access to mail shoots, allowing operators to clear stuck packages efficiently.
Designed for fast on-site assembly using standardized pre-engineered components, the ErectaStep metal stair system fits in the existing workflow — no welding, no downtime, and minimal disruption. With its non-slip tread, guardrails, and long-lasting aluminum construction, this custom configuration provides Royal Mail staff with a safe and stable footing to maintain productivity.
Designed for fast on-site assembly using standardized, pre-engineered components, the ErectaStep system was easy to configure to fit within the existing workflow—no welding, no downtime, and minimal disruption. With its non-slip tread, guardrails, and corrosion-resistant aluminum construction, this standard work platform configuration gives Royal Mail staff a stable footing when accessing packages.
Royal Mail handles over 1 billion parcels a year and processes well over 6 billion addressed items annually across its UK network. As parcel volumes continue to grow and traditional letter volumes shift, safe and repeatable access for clearing jams has become essential to maintaining nationwide service targets. Quality of service reports show Royal Mail delivering over 90% of Second Class mail within three working days—any bottleneck in chutes must be cleared quickly to protect that performance.

ErectaStep’s bolt-together design uses just five core modular components to create unlimited stair and platform configurations. Components are manufactured in the USA from marine-grade aluminum and ship ready to assemble—often within the same week. If the facility needs change, the system can be unbolted and reconfigured in a new location without replacing the entire unit.
