ErectaStep Industrial Metal Stair Catwalk Installation
Categories: Stairs & Work Platforms ErectaStep
SafeRack’s modular catwalk and access stair systems by ErectaStep are prefabricated, bolt-together platforms that deliver elevated worker access without custom fabrication, welding, or lengthy engineering cycles. Built from standardized components, these systems integrate seamlessly into industrial facilities and help keep workers safely above busy warehouse floors.
Unlike traditional welded steel structures that require weeks of design and engineering, modular stair and platform systems by ErectaStep are engineered upfront, in stock, and ready to deploy. They’re OSHA-compliant straight out of the box, so you skip the costly delays of compliance review.
Why ErectaStep Modular Catwalks Work
SafeRack’s modular industrial catwalk installations provide your work site with many key benefits and are an effective alternative to traditional means. The following includes some of the ways our approach can help your work site:
Speed. Installation happens fast because there’s no site fabrication. Components bolt together without hot work, meaning your facility remains fully operational during setup. Most configurations assemble in hours, not weeks. A manufacturing facility can add overhead access in a weekend without halting production.
Pre-Engineered compliance. Every modular component is manufactured to OSHA specifications for tread depth, riser height, handrail requirements, and load capacity. You get OSHA compliance without the consulting fees. No guessing. No engineering back-and-forth.
Aluminum construction. Lightweight aluminum is corrosion-resistant and maintenance-free, which doesn’t rust, warp, or require regular painting. Aluminum can handle most industrial environments with minimal upkeep. If you require an alternative, 304 stainless and galvanized steel versions are available.
Infinite configurations. Modular systems use five standardized components that unlock endless configurations: different heights and spans, switchback layouts, integrated platforms, crossover stairs, tank access, and bridge maintenance walkways. You configure in minutes using a proprietary tool and get 3D renderings the same day.
Functional across industries. SafeRack’s industrial catwalk stairs are used across countless industries, including manufacturing and production facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, tank farms, refineries, conveyor systems, loading docks, and utility facilities.
Cost-Effective. A typical modular catwalk installation costs 30–50% less than custom fabrication. You save on engineering fees, fabrication time, rework cycles, and project delays. Installation happens without facility shutdowns, reducing labor costs and accelerating ROI.
