SafeRack supplied and installed an ErectaStep ship ladder to provide safe, efficient access to a mezzanine in an industrial facility. This installation highlights the benefits of ErectaStep’s modular and OSHA-compliant access systems, designed specifically for industrial environments with space constraints.

Key Features of the Installation

• Ship Ladder Design: The ErectaStep ship ladder provides a compact, space-saving solution for accessing the mezzanine. Its steep incline (50°-70°) allows for vertical access in areas where traditional staircases would not fit.


• Durable Construction: Made from corrosion-resistant aluminum, the ladder is built to withstand heavy use in demanding industrial settings. The prefabricated design ensures consistent quality and long-term durability.


• Enhanced Safety Features:
  
  
  
  • Bright yellow powder-coated handrails improve visibility and offer secure support for users.
  
  
  • Non-slip treads ensure reliable footing, even in environments prone to spills or debris.
  
  
  • Red protective bollards at the base safeguard the ladder from potential impacts by forklifts or other machinery.
  
  
  
  


• Mezzanine Access: The ladder connects ground-level operations to an elevated mezzanine used for equipment access and maintenance. Its modular design integrates seamlessly with the existing structure, ensuring a stable and secure installation.

Benefits of ErectaStep’s Modular System

• Quick Installation: The bolt-together assembly required no on-site welding or fabrication, reducing downtime during installation.


• OSHA Compliance: The ship ladder meets all relevant safety standards, ensuring worker protection.


• Space Efficiency: Its compact footprint makes it ideal for facilities with limited space for vertical access solutions.


• Low Maintenance: Aluminum construction resists corrosion and requires minimal upkeep over time.
