Exterior Roof Access Stair installation
Exterior Roof Access Stair installation Bel Brands USA Cheese plant in Brookings, SD.
SafeRack completed an Exterior Roof Access Stair installation at the Bel Brands USA cheese plant in Brookings, South Dakota. The project provided a durable and reliable access solution for reaching the facility’s rooftop while meeting the demanding requirements of an industrial manufacturing environment. The installation used SafeRack’s ErectaStep modular metal stair system. Designed with prefabricated components, ErectaStep provides a practical alternative to traditionally fabricated stairs and can be configured to accommodate specific site requirements.
What Is Exterior Roof Access Stair Installation?
Exterior Roof Access Stair installation provides a permanent stairway for safe movement between ground-level areas and rooftop spaces. Industrial facilities often require rooftop access for maintenance, inspections, equipment servicing, and other operational activities. SafeRack’s ErectaStep system uses modular components that can be assembled and configured for different applications. This makes the system suitable for facilities that need dependable rooftop access without the complexity of extensive custom fabrication.
Importance of Exterior Roof Access Stair Installation
A properly designed Exterior Roof Access Stair installation provides workers with a stable and dedicated route to elevated areas. In manufacturing facilities such as cheese plants, reliable access can support routine maintenance and help workers reach rooftop equipment more efficiently. ErectaStep stairs are designed as an OSHA-compliant industrial access solution. Their durable construction and modular configuration make them suitable for demanding industrial environments where safety and long-term performance are important.
How the ErectaStep Stair System Works
The Exterior Roof Access Stair installation at Bel Brands USA was based on ErectaStep’s prefabricated modular components. These components are designed to be assembled efficiently and configured according to the required access layout. The modular approach eliminates much of the need for on-site custom fabrication or specialized equipment. Stair sections and other components can be arranged to create an access system suited to the facility, while custom solutions can be developed when a project presents unique requirements.
