TYPE: Mezzanine Stairs, Ladders, Landings and Ramps

MODEL: Knockdown Stair Systems

Knockdown stairs are stairs where the treads and stringers are field assembled. Treads must be bolted to the stringers and a guard rail/handrail assembly is required. This application is used when lifting a one piece stair is not practical. This can be a cost effective alternative to welded stair systems.

Knockdown stair systems are heavy duty industrial stairs that are economical and modular.  They are easily assembled on the job site and can be installed at nearly any facility, including areas where space is limited.

Knockdown stairs are ideal for many industrial applications including:

Access to mezzanines Conveyor Crossovers Stair Towers Landings
Loading Dock Access Racking or Shelving Systems In-Plant Offices Fire Exits
and much more.

The standard configuration allows for a 36" wide stair tread and a closed tread/open riser design that is IBC code compliant and meets OSHA safety standards.  Custom tread widths are available.
