Description

Achieve uncompromising safety in the toughest industrial environments with the Heavy Duty Warehouse Steps (BS Certified) – Expamet Treads. Manufactured in the UK by Redhill, this range combines a certified heavy-duty frame with a specialised tread surface designed for areas where fluids, debris, or mud might compromise footing.

These steps carry the BS EN 131-7 Kitemark, certifying their compliance with the highest British Standards for stability and build quality. They feature a widened, splayed base which significantly increases the footprint, providing exceptional resistance to tipping even when working at maximum height.

Industrial Expamet Treads

This model is fitted with Expamet (Expanded Metal) Treads. This steel mesh design is the superior choice for outdoor, engineering, or chemical environments.

Self-Draining: The open mesh allows water, oil, and swarf to fall through rather than pooling on the step.
High Grip: The raised diamond pattern bites into shoe soles, ensuring secure traction even in adverse conditions.

Certified Safety Features

Hand Lock Anchorage: A manual lever engages the front feet, creating a rock-solid, static platform that eliminates movement while you work.
Anti-Ascent Bar: A safety barrier effectively locks the stairs when the unit is mobile, preventing use until the brake is securely engaged.
Overload Tested: While rated with a standard Safe Working Load (SWL) of 150kg, the robust frame is overload tested to 200kg for guaranteed structural reliability.

Specifications

Platform: Spacious 540mm x 500mm top platform for comfortable working.
Finish: Tough Red epoxy powder coating for high visibility and durability.
Reach: Available in sizes from 3 to 15 treads, offering average working heights up to 4.95 metres.

Delivery & Assembly

Mobile: Rides on 2 x front swivel castors and 2 x rear fixed castors.
Important Note: To ensure safe transport, models with 10 treads and above are supplied in two parts, requiring simple assembly on site.

Why Choose These Expamet Warehouse Steps?

If your facility deals with liquids, outdoor elements, or heavy industrial waste, standard rubber treads may become slippery. The Heavy Duty Warehouse Step with Expamet Treads eliminates this risk, providing a certified, stable, and self-cleaning access solution.

FAQ's

Question	Technical Answer
What colours are your Steptek warehouse steps available in?	Standard Steptek steps come in the colours shown in our product options. We also offer custom powder-coating for bulk orders. Contact us for a RAL colour quote.
Are spare parts available?	Yes. We supply a full range of replacement treads, platforms, wheels, and rubber feet to extend the life of your steps. Visit our spare parts section or call our team for help. Spare parts available here.
Does the platform count as a tread?	Yes. When ordering, remember that the top platform is included in the tread count (e.g., a 4-tread step has 3 treads plus the platform).
Can these be used outdoors?	We strongly advise against using standard Steptek units outside. For wet or outdoor environments, you require galvanised warehouse steps to prevent rust and ensure safety. Contact us for a quote on galvanised models.
What safety standards do these meet?	Our BSI Steptek range is manufactured to meet EN131-7 standards for mobile leaning ladders and steps. They feature high handrails and kickboards to ensure full compliance with UK Health & Safety regulations.
What is the maximum weight capacity?	Most of our standard mobile warehouse steps have a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 150kg. This accommodates a single user plus tools or stock items. Always check the specific product data sheet for heavy-duty variants.
Do they arrive assembled?	All of our Steptek units are delivered fully welded and ready for immediate use. Larger warehouse steps, usually 10 tread and above, will be supplied in 2 parts for on site assembly, this is for transportation reasons.
How does the braking or safety system work?	Our mobile steps use either a side hand lock lever and anti ascent bar or weight-activated retractable castors. Both systems ensure that once the user applies weight or engages the lock, the rubber feet grip the floor securely to prevent movement.
Are they safe for mezzanine floors?	Yes. Steptek steps are designed with non-marking rubber feet and high-quality castors, making them suitable for standard warehouse concrete, mezzanine flooring, and commercial surfaces without causing damage.
