Roof Access Stairs
SafeRack’s ErectaStep Roof Access Stairs provide safe, code-compliant entry to rooftops for inspections, maintenance, and emergency egress—without compromising structural integrity. Made from lightweight yet durable aluminum, each system uses ErectaStep’s patented modular design with just five standardized components that bolt together without welding or special tools.
Whether you’re installing a short access run or a multi-level stair tower, these prefabricated systems offer flexible configurations, faster install times, and long-term performance with minimal upkeep. Available in aluminum, galvanized steel, or stainless steel, ErectaStep stairs are designed to meet OSHA standards while adapting to a range of rooftop layouts and project requirements.
Rooftop Stairs
Designed specifically for navigating flat rooftop environments, SafeRack’s ErectaStep Rooftop Stairs provide safe access over obstructions such as pipes, ducts, or skylights. These non-penetrating crossover systems use counterweighted bases with neoprene contact points to protect the roofing membrane while offering stable, slip-resistant pathways to equipment like HVAC units, solar arrays, and antenna installations.
Quick to assemble and easy to reposition, the modular stair units eliminate costly custom fabrication and help facilities maintain OSHA compliance without disrupting ongoing operations. With safety, durability, and install speed at the forefront, these stairs are a smart solution for both routine access and emergency rooftop egress routes.

Customer Reviews
Both salesmen have been on top of every question or concern. Both salesmen involved with this project have been on top of every question or concern I have had, and have provided timely responses. I was interested in purchasing a complete, turn-key installation. SafeRack was the only vendor that provided it.
By Sherman R. from Brenntag Specialties, Inc.
Customer service was great. We now comply with fall protection requirements. It keeps our guys safe. While these systems are expensive, the benefit outweighs the initial cost. Customer service was great – I had the drawings and assembly instructions a week before the rack arrived. Ray Evans was extremely helpful. Keep up the good work, SafeRack
By Dave K. from Westway Terminals
Very well designed and thought out. The experience was all positive after a brief email I was sent a highly descriptive and a colored 3D layout of the item I was purchasing, this company is extremely professional and well organized, in the past trying to purchase something similar led to long drawn out procedures of special engineering and drawings which led us just to fabricate our own items taking needed workforce time away from other projects, also the sales coordinator Patrick Free is professional, quick and thorough with his quote and sale.
By Shawn Q. from Dublin San Ramon Services District
Second to none. Kenny Rogers was very responsive. I was very happy with the attention he gave to our order. SafeRack has a responsive crew working for them. Customer service was very accommodating. Sales was very professional, accommodating, quick to respond and knowledgeable about their product. Engineering was quick to respond to any changes we requested. Product quality, I would say, is second to none. We are very happy with the operation of the equipment. The lightweight design was the most attractive feature for us. The delivery of the majority of the order was either on time or delivered early. The product is very functional and easy to operate, these are the features that were most appealing to operations.
