Crossover Stair for Conveyor Belt Installation

At this food supplier, long conveyor runs created bottlenecks and tempting shortcuts that put workers in the line of fire. SafeRack installed a food supplier conveyor belt crossover stairs using ErectaStep equipment, which provides a clearly designated passageway over the belt so employees no longer climb, duck, or weave through equipment. The result is safer traffic patterns, fewer near-misses, and less risk of downtime from an avoidable incident.

Why Crossover Stairs Are Important

Food supply facilities are often filled with minor or major obstacles that block pathways. These areas may not seem like a major problem, but they can pose an ongoing hazard and slow production. Slips, trips, and falls are a leading workplace safety risk, accounting for 15% of accidental deaths and 20% of job-related injuries across all industries. Every year, these incidents cost $70 billion in medical costs and 99 million lost production days. SafeRack’s modular conveyor crossover stairs by ErectaStep can provide clear access for your employees across conveyor belts and similar equipment. Our systems can increase efficiency while saving your facility time and money.

Modular Conveyor Crossover Stairs That Fit Your Layout

SafeRack’s ErectaStep convery crossover stairs are fully modular, allowing for easy changes to fit your facility’s layout. Each stair system includes stairs, platforms, handrails, towers, and ladder components. These can be used to match the dimensionf os your conveyor or any other daily obstacle. Prefabricated, bolt-together parts ship quickly and install with common tools without requiring welding or hot work permits. This allows for easy reconfigurations to match the changing layout of your facility.

OSHA Compliant, Food-Plant Ready

All of SafeRack’s conveyor belt crossover stairs are made to meet or exceed OSHA regulations, with built-in uniform risers, slip-resistant treads, 42-inch guardrails, and proper load ratings. In food and beverage environments, corrosion-resistant materials and cleanable surfaces help support sanitation programs while still delivering the elevated access you need over hot ovens, packaging lines, and automated handling systems. These features combine to protect workers while keeping production moving.
