Common Applications for Crossover Stairs
- Passage Over Obstacles –
Industrial crossover stairs offer safe passage over obstacles like pipes, conduits, or machinery. - Efficient Access to Work Areas –
They provide efficient access between separate sections of a facility, reducing travel time for workers.
- Maintenance and Inspection Routes –
Crossover stairs serve as designated routes for maintenance and inspection personnel to access elevated equipment and systems. - Facilitating Workflow –
By providing direct pathways over barriers, they help streamline workflow and improve operational efficiency.
- Enhancing Safety –
These stairs contribute to a safer work environment by reducing the risk of accidents and injuries associated with navigating obstacles on the ground. - Compliance with Regulations –
They help facilities comply with safety regulations by providing designated pathways for workers to traverse hazardous areas.
- Integration with Equipment Layout –
Designed to seamlessly integrate with the layout of industrial equipment and facilities, crossover stairs optimize space utilization. - Rooftop Stair Crossovers –
Navigate over rooftop obstacles such as pipes, ducts, skylights, or conduits while providing safe pathways to rooftop equipment like HVAC units, solar panels, antennas, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
ErectaStep systems are fully prefabricated and modular, which eliminates the need for custom engineering or fabrication. The bolt-together design reduces installation time and cost, while still providing OSHA-compliant access across obstacles like pipes, conveyors, or equipment.
Yes. The five-component modular system allows for quick reconfiguration if your facility layout changes. Components can be reused, repositioned, or expanded without specialized labor or fabrication.
In most cases, customers receive their ErectaStep system and complete installation within the same week. Because the system is in stock, flat-packed, and requires no welding or hot work permits, the process is significantly faster than traditional alternatives.
Yes. All systems are pre-engineered to meet or exceed OSHA standards. This ensures a safe, compliant solution without the need for additional review or engineering input.

Reasonable prices, customizable, easy to assemble and install. Reasonable prices, customizable, easy to assemble and install.

Very quick service and very good product. Easy to install and salesperson was easy to work with.
By Craig P. from Dupont Washington Works

Build quality is great, and the range of customization is wide. It was difficult to find a situation the Maui couldn't fit or easily and relatively cheaply be made to fit. The mobility is great, but being able to provide protection for both ISO style and common carrier bulk tankers was a major selling point. The assembly is easy to do ourselves. Maintenance of the Maui is very simple. What parts may need serviced or replaced or cheap to order and can be done onsite by in house maintenance. Provides great protection to workers on top of bulk style tankers or similar, especially if you live in areas with inclement weather.
By Zach C. from Superior Oil Company, Inc.

I'm very pleased with the product and more importantly the service. Chris Hite was extremely responsive. He did an excellent job making sure that the gangway requested would meet our needs. We've found a new supplier and sales force that is willing and able to ensure our needs are met. I'm very pleased with the product and more importantly the service.
