Frequently Asked Questions
How do the counterweights keep the rooftop stair system stable?

The system uses engineered counterweighted bases that balance the structure and prevent tipping or shifting. Combined with non-slip pads and wide contact points, they provide exceptional stability without fasteners or roof penetration.

Is this system compatible with all types of flat rooftops?

Yes. The non-penetrating design is suitable for most flat commercial and industrial roof types, including membrane, built-up, and coated systems. Neoprene pads protect the surface and help distribute weight evenly.

Are these systems OSHA and IBC compliant?

Absolutely. All configurations are pre-engineered to meet or exceed OSHA and IBC codes, including tread dimensions, platform width, and handrail requirements.

Can the system be reconfigured or relocated after installation?

Yes. The modular design makes it easy to adjust, expand, or relocate sections as your facility needs change—without requiring new roof penetrations or structural changes.

I'd recommend the mobile access unit – it works very good. I like the Maui's safety above all. It is well made and easy to operate. Our salesman, Chris Hite was very responsive. I'd recommend the mobile access unit – it works very good.

Always a positive experience. Price is good. Outstanding delivery time. If it wasn't in stock for immediate delivery, I would have gone to another supplier. SafeRack had the item ready to go. My salesman John Nance is very efficient and responds almost immediately. This product improves safety for my staff, cutting down their time moving around the yard. This product is weather protected, with no maintenance, plus saves cost on designing, engineering and building in-house. Always a positive experience. Price is good.

Quick and easy assembly. Quick and easy assembly, I like the little mini platform. Our VP of QA likes it. If QA likes it, everything else is just icing on the cake. It's great for getting people to understand standard construction. Sometimes it's very hard to get internal people to understand that they don't need huge platforms. Everything went well. I love the trailer for demo purposes and my sales rep was able to arrange a plant visit to talk to someone who already had a unit installed. Getting feedback from someone living with it was great.

For the springs, I liked the fact that they came as matched pairs. For the springs, I liked the fact that they came as matched pairs. For the swivel seal kits I liked the fact that they were inexpensive compared to the entire swivel joint. They provide short term repair potential in the event of failure of the primary installed components.

Priced within reason – even special order parts. Curtis and Cody were a lot of help FROM THE VERY START OF THE PROJECT. This was a special project and had to have special pieces made to order and SafeRack came through for us. The sales team worked with us because we had to break up order on different PO's. Items were priced within reason – even special order parts! Great quality material, fast delivery – some things come right off the shelf. Items were delivered within 10 days of placing the order.

SafeRack was able to provide us the equipment we needed fast. We were very satisfied with the product we purchased from SafeRack a year ago so we decided to purchase an additional for a different location.
