The Heavy-Duty Solution for High-Level Access

When your racking goes high, you need equipment that feels rock-solid underfoot. The Steptek Economy Range is designed specifically for higher warehouse aisles, offering platform heights up to 3.25m (working height approx. 4.75m). Despite the “Economy” name, there is no compromise on build quality; every unit is manufactured in Britain from fully welded tubular steel, boasting a rugged 150kg Safe Working Load.

Smart “Anti-Ascent” Lever Braking

Unlike smaller steps that rely on springs, this high-reach range utilizes a positive Lever Braking System with a crucial safety feature: the Anti-Ascent Bar.

• To Move: You pull the yellow lever bar. This engages the castors and simultaneously locks a barrier across the steps. This physically prevents anyone from trying to climb the steps while they are mobile—a major accident prevention feature.

• To Climb: You release the lever. The castors retract, the steel feet lock onto the floor, and the bar moves fully through the tread to clear your path. You simply cannot climb an unsafe, rolling ladder.

Built for Comfort at Height

Working at 4 meters in the air requires confidence. That is why this range features extra-wide 560mm treads and a deep 560mm x 400mm top platform. This broad footprint reduces vertigo and fatigue, allowing operators to use both hands for picking stock safely. The unit is finished in a professional light grey epoxy with a high-visibility yellow operating bar for clear identification in dim lighting.

Tread Options for Your Environment

Tailor the steps to your specific facility with two distinct tread surfaces:

• Anti-Slip: A high-grip surface ideal for general warehousing.

• Punched Steel: An open-grid design that prevents dirt, dust, or moisture from accumulating—perfect for dusty environments or areas with sprinkler systems.

Easy Mobility

Moving a large 13-tread tower is surprisingly easy thanks to the upgraded wheel set. The rear of the unit rides on large 200mm solid rubber wheels, which handle rough concrete floors or expansion joints far better than small castors, while the front uses 75mm non-marking swivel castors for precise steering into narrow aisles.
