Solve the challenge of working at height in confined spaces with the 5 Tread Narrow Aisle Safety Steps. Precision-engineered in the UK by Redhill, this specialized unit is designed to fit where standard mobile steps cannot. With a slimline profile and integrated stabilizing technology, it allows you to maintain full safety compliance even in the tightest warehouse aisles, archive corridors, or high-density storage zones.
As part of our premium “Safety Steps” collection, this unit is fully BSI Kitemarked to BS EN 131-7. It has been rigorously tested to ensure maximum lateral stability and durability, overcoming the tipping risks often associated with narrow-base ladders. With a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 150kg, it provides a heavy-duty, compliant platform for operators carrying tools or stock.
Hinged Stabiliser System
To achieve strict BS EN 131-7 certification on a narrow footprint, these steps feature a smart Hinged Stabiliser System.
-
Deployment: When the steps are positioned for use, the operator swings out the side stabiliser legs. This instantly widens the footprint, creating a rock-solid, tip-resistant base for safe climbing.
-
Transport: When the task is complete, the stabilisers fold neatly flush against the frame, returning the unit to its ultra-slim width for easy navigation through doorways and crowded aisles.
Automatic Braking & Mobility
The steps utilize a Weight Reactive Spring Castor system for effortless movement.
-
Glide: The unit moves freely on four non-marking swivel castors, offering 360-degree turning capabilities to help you navigate tight corners.
-
Lock: As soon as weight is applied to the first tread, the castors retract. This engages the rubber-footed base with the floor, preventing any movement while the user is working at height.
Fully Welded Construction
Supplied fully assembled and welded, this unit is ready for immediate use. It features a robust tubular steel construction and a high safety rail surrounding the top platform to ensure operator confidence. The design is specifically optimized to pass through standard doorways and narrow racking gaps without snagging.
Customisation Options
Adapt the steps to your specific environment with our choice of high-performance finishes:
-
Ribbed Rubber with Tread Clamps: Our standard option for indoor use. The rubber provides excellent grip and comfort, while the metal tread clamps mechanically lock the surface in place to prevent lifting or peeling over time.
-
Anti-Slip Grit Treads: A tough, abrasive surface delivering maximum traction, recommended for industrial warehouses, oily environments, or areas where debris is present.
-
Colour Choice: Available in 8 standard powder-coated colours (including Blue, Red, Yellow, and Grey) to match your corporate branding or safety zoning requirements. Custom colours can also be quoted on request.
