Fast Installation, Long-Term Durability
Reliable & Compliant Access — Prefabricated Aluminum Built for Demanding Environments
When safety, speed, and durability matter, our prefabricated aluminum loading dock stairs deliver. Built to meet or exceed OSHA standards, these stairs offer dependable access for loading docks, warehouses, and industrial facilities—without the delays of traditional construction or custom fabrication.
Each unit arrives ready to assemble with no welding, special tools, or permits required. Lightweight yet sturdy, the all-aluminum build stands up to outdoor conditions, heavy foot traffic, and daily wear—while eliminating the need for ongoing maintenance. Most installs are completed in just a few hours, minimizing disruption and keeping projects on track.
- Compliance Built-In — Pre-engineered to align with OSHA requirements.
- Installs Fast — Bolt-together design assembles quickly using common tools—no hot work permits needed.
- Durable & Low Maintenance — All-aluminum construction resists corrosion and never needs painting.
- Slip-Resistant Treads — Grip strut step treads and platform decking provide superior traction, tested to be up to 180% more slip-resistant than similar materials.

Loading Dock Stair Features
Dock Steps – Prefabricated, Durable, and Quick to Install

Code Compliant – Loading dock stairs are designed according to IBC, ADA, and OSHA standards. While most loading docks only require OSHA compliance, we offer IBC/ADA options.
Easy Installation – Our Dock Steps are prefabricated, modular, and bolt together without special equipment or welding. They typically bolt together in about an hour.
Quality Manufactured in the United States
Leveling Legs – Platform legs have 8” of adjustability for uneven ground or ongoing adjustments.
100% Aluminum & Long Lasting – Our dock steps will never rust, warp, or rot. All components are low maintenance and will last much longer than wood or steel.
Slip-Resistant Decking – The dock steps are standard with an aggressive, heavy-duty 3” channel grip strut grating that provides maximum, multi-directional slip resistance. Other decking options are also available.
HPD/LEED/ESG – Because our products are modular, repurposable, and contain 32.5% to 75% recycled content, including 50% to 65% pre-consumer and up to 20% post-consumer recycled scrap, they can help contribute to several LEED v4.1 credits and other green building rating systems.

This is a solid product that we will use for years. Product was delivered at the specified time. Your team was very helpful in fitting the install within the project demands. The overall fit and finish is excellent. The best part is that we now feel that fall protection is not an issue at the site anymore. Stephen was good to work with – he kept us on track. The site visit ensured we got what we needed and gave us comfort as we moved forward in the project. We can tell this is a solid product that we will use for years.
By Sam H. from RPM Wood Finishes Group
Ray is a major reason why this is our third purchase from SafeRack and why we will keep coming back. Ray Evans called me back in less than an hour on the first call and on the next couple of calls, less than 10 minutes. The replacement gangway and safety cage was delivered on time. This was the third purchase from SafeRack. Our salesman gave us several ways to go so that we could stop the damage the truck drivers were causing to this piece of equipment. He has always helped us in the past, and so far no one has damaged it. He said he would drive up if we needed more help or other ways of installing. That is why we keep going back to Ray and your company.
