Description

Heavy Duty Build, Compact Footprint

For industrial facilities with high-density racking, finding a step that is both robust enough for heavy daily use and narrow enough to fit down the aisle is a challenge. The Steptek Heavy Duty Narrow Base Model is the engineered solution. Unlike the standard “Stability Base” model which features splayed legs, this unit utilizes a straight base frame. This design significantly reduces the overall footprint, allowing you to deploy a fully certified, heavy-duty access platform into confined spaces where other industrial steps simply wouldn’t fit.

Uncompromised Box-Section Strength

“Narrow” does not mean “lightweight”. This range is hand-built in the UK from welded heavy gauge steel box section and bar. This construction offers superior rigidity compared to standard tubular steps, eliminating the “wobble” often associated with working at height. It is fully certified to BS EN 131-7 and rated for a 150kg Safe Working Load, having been rigorously overload tested to 200kg.

The “Hand Lock” Safety System

To ensure absolute stability before climbing, the unit features a Hand Lock Lever Anchorage.

Locking: Pulling the manual lever retracts the front castors and lowers the unit onto protective grey non-marking rubber feet.
Safety Bar: The lever is linked to a Safety Warning Bar. When the steps are mobile (unlocked), this bar protrudes in front of the stairs, physically deterring users from climbing. When locked, the bar retracts to allow safe access.

Commercial Specification

The range is finished in a professional blue epoxy with safety yellow moving parts. Despite the narrow frame, the user experience remains premium with a spacious 540mm x 500mm top platform and a 490mm tread width. You can customize the unit with two tread surface options:

Ribbed Rubber: For secure grip in clean, dry environments.
Expamet: An expanded metal mesh that cuts through grease or water for traction in harsh conditions.

Easy Logistics

We understand that installing large equipment can be difficult. To solve this, all models with 10 treads and above are supplied in two halves, allowing them to be easily transported through standard doorways and assembled in position.

Why Buy From HSE Store?

The “Narrow Tank”: The only choice when you need box-section durability in a tight aisle.
Visual Safety: The protruding safety bar actively prevents accidents caused by climbing mobile steps.
Certified Trust: BSI Kitemarked quality reduces your liability and ensures insurance compliance.
Free Delivery: We ship these heavy, palletised units for free on orders over £50.

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 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.
