SafeRack’s rolling adjustable height work platform by RollaStep in use for maintenance on a light aircraft’s wing

In dynamic work environments, one fixed height is rarely enough. Whether you are servicing the fuselage of a Boeing 737 or accessing machinery in a manufacturing plant, you need a solution that adapts to the task. SafeRack’s rolling adjustable-height work platform systems provide versatile, safe access and eliminate the need for ladders or scaffolding.

How Self-Leveling Stairs Can Help Your Aviation Facility

The aviation industry often requires equipment that provides adaptable safety at any level. Fixed height step systems can be useful, but lack the versatility needed to work on different aircraft. SafeRack’s Self-Leveling Stairs by RollaStep are the gold standard for adjustable height maintenance stands in the aviation industry. The following are a few advantages our design brings to your facility: 

  • Universal “Zero-Gap” Access: Designed for both hangar and ramp applications, our offer a height-adjustable deck that aligns flush with aircraft doors, wings, or engine cowlings. Our equipment can be used on a variety of aircraft.
  • Self-Leveling Stairs: Unlike competitors’ steep ladders, our advanced models feature self-leveling treads that remain flat and secure at any height, ensuring an ergonomic climb whether the platform is fully raised or lowered.
  • FOD-Free Design: Smooth surfaces and tool trays prevent loose hardware from falling into sensitive engine components and prevent foreign object debris (FOD) incidents. 
  • Soft-Touch Bumpers: Protective padding ensures the platform never damages the aircraft skin during positioning.
  • OSHA Compliant: Our units meet or exceed OSHA standards for platform requirements and walking-working surfaces, providing 42-inch guardrails, toe boards, and slip-resistant surfaces to prevent falls.​
  • Versatile Height Range: Hydraulic or manual winch systems allow precise vertical adjustment, making these platforms ideal for facilities that work with multiple aircraft types.
  • Effortless Mobility: Heavy-duty, 360-degree swivel casters allow a single operator to move and position the platform. Once in place, robust floor locks secure the unit for a rock-solid work surface.​
  • Durable Construction: Available in lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum for easy maneuvering or heavy-duty galvanized steel for rugged industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is an Adjustable Height Rolling Platform?

An adjustable height rolling platform is an adaptable piece of gear that can be easily moved and changed to meet the needs of a given job. Unlike other ladders or scaffolding, SafeRack’s equipment can be changed for safe access to any point on the fuselage, wing, or tail section. 

How Does the Height Adjustment Work?

Our platforms utilize a hydraulic pump or manual winch system that allows the deck to be raised or lowered with minimal effort. The stair system automatically articulates to match the deck height, keeping the steps level at all times for safe climbing.​

Are These Platforms Suitable for Outdoor Use?

SafeRack’s self-leveling stairs are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. We offer models with large, pneumatic tires designed for gravel or asphalt, making them perfect for outdoor railcar loading or aircraft ramp maintenance. The aluminum and galvanized steel construction resists rust and corrosion in harsh weather.​

Do You Offer Custom Sizes?

SafeRack offers both standard models and custom sizes that can meet your aviation industry needs. We can tailor the deck size, height range, and chassis width to fit your specific aircraft facility layout.
