Steptek Extra Heavy Duty Stability Base Safety Steps – 1840mm Platform
- Availability: In Stock
- Product Code: S945
The Steptek Quality Extra Heavy Duty Stability Base Safety Steps are designed for demanding industrial environments where secure high-level access, durability and long-term reliability are essential. Hand-built with close attention to engineering and manufacturing detail, this heavy-duty access solution is designed for arduous workplace applications and has been overload tested to 200kg.
The robust frame is manufactured from welded heavy-gauge steel box section and bar, providing a strong foundation for repeated professional use. A dedicated hand-lock lever anchorage system allows the operator to secure the steps before climbing. When locked, the front feet make firm contact with the floor, with protective grey non-marking rubber feet helping provide stable floor contact.
A prominent safety warning bar projects in front of the steps and is connected to the hand-lock lever mechanism. This provides a clear visual reminder and is designed to deter climbing while the unit remains in its mobile position.
The narrow stability-base design incorporates outboard wheels mounted directly onto the straight base frame, providing a space-efficient footprint without compromising the heavy-duty construction. This makes the model particularly useful where working space and aisle clearance are important considerations.
For mobility, the steps are equipped with two 100mm front swivel castors with rubber tyres and roller bearings, together with two 200mm rear axle-mounted rubber-tyred wheels with roller bearings.
The main structure features a durable blue epoxy finish, complemented by a safety-yellow warning bar and hand-lock mechanism for increased visibility.
With a 1840mm platform height, 490mm tread width and 540 x 500mm platform, these professional safety steps provide substantial elevated access for industrial, warehouse and maintenance applications.
The unit is supplied with a BSI Kitemark, caution notice and Health & Safety at Work information sheet, making it a strong choice for organisations seeking a professional workplace access solution.
