REDD Team designs and manufactures aluminum crossover stairs for industrial facilities that keep people safely above hazards. The crossover stairs maintain clear, code-aligned routes through production floors, utilities corridors, rooftops, and yards.
Our OSHA crossover platforms and stair assemblies are engineered from structural aluminum, use slip-resistant, self-draining walking surfaces, and are detailed to meet OSHA walking-working surface requirements for strength, geometry, and guard/handrail protection.
What Crossover Stairs Solve
Crossover systems establish designated, elevated pathways that run over conveyors, pipes, cable trays, duct runs, and equipment. Crews can move without stepping into lanes of product flow or work zones.
The crossover stairs also provide safe access to maintenance points and help separate pedestrian traffic from forklifts and AGVs, reducing congestion at pinch points. They can be used throughout manufacturing, warehouse, and rooftop settings.
Built to OSHA Expectations
REDD Team crossover stairs are designed around OSHA’s stairway provisions with uniform treads with slip resistance, compliant stair angles, required clearances, and robust guard/handrail systems.
Our aluminum stairs and landings are engineered for common industrial loads (e.g., 100 psf live load and 300-lb concentrated load on landings in our published specs) and incorporate edge protection to keep wheels and tools on the platform.
Why Aluminum for Crossovers
- Strong, lighter to handle: 6000-series aluminum (including 6061-T6 for structural members) delivers high strength with far less weight than painted steel.
- Corrosion resistant: Aluminum won’t rust. It forms a natural oxide layer that protects the metal, so you’re not stuck in constant repaint/touch-up cycles.
- Low maintenance, long life: No coating to maintain and fewer surface repairs over time, which lowers life-cycle costs.
- Does not support combustion: Aluminum doesn’t burn; it softens and melts at high temperatures rather than fueling a fire.
- Built for wet and harsh environments: Holds up to rain, snow, humidity, washdowns, and outdoor exposure, making it ideal for process plants, food & beverage, water/wastewater, and coastal facilities.
Modular, Fast, and Repeatable
Crossover stairs and platforms ship as modular, bolt-together components with slip-in posts and legs. That keeps hot work off the floor and shortens installs during outages or scheduled windows.
Standardized parts and hardware make repeat deployments predictable across multiple lines or sites. They also help to simplify future reconfiguration as equipment moves.
For rooftop routes, REDD Team offers crossover stair variants and platform kits purpose-built for parapets, low mechanical curbs, and cable/pipe runs.
Details That Improve Daily Safety
Safety is the first requirement and should never be an afterthought in any industry. REDD Team crossover stairs are engineered to protect crews in wet, high-traffic, and elevated areas by reducing slips, trips, and dropped object risks and by supporting OSHA requirements for walking and working surfaces.
- Walking surfaces are slip-resistant and self-draining to manage rain, washdown water, and tracked-in moisture.
- Guardrails and handrails are continuous, with compliant heights and returns; toe boards and kick plates keep tools and parts from exiting the platform.
- Transitions are handled with threshold plates and level landings to maintain footing and reduce trip points at approach areas.
These outstanding details are reflected across REDD Team’s crossover and industrial platform resources.
Integrates With Broader Access Systems
Crossover stairs frequently tie into maintenance platforms, mezzanine access, generator skids, and walkway networks. As a single manufacturer, REDD Team supplies compatible aluminum platforms, stairs, and walkways, so you can standardize finishes, fasteners, and inspection points across an entire facility while maintaining OSHA compliance.
Proven In Industrial Environments
From warehouse aisles to utilities galleries, our aluminum crossovers reduce risk and improve safety throughput by keeping pedestrians and employees out of operational paths. Our systems are corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance, and designed to outlast seasonal cycles and heavy daily use, without the repainting and surface repairs common to steel.
