When you need aluminum outdoor steps or stairs, REDD Team offers access products that are affordable, configured to meet your building code regulations, and are simple and painless to install.
REDD Team is a product brand of Hydro Extrusion North America, a part of the world’s largest aluminum extrusion company. We manufacture high-quality aluminum access systems in the USA at Hydro’s Delhi, Louisiana extrusion facility. Our steps, stairs, ramps, walkways, and other access products are fabricated from 6000 series aluminum for structural strength and toughness.
REDD Team’s access systems incorporate aluminum extrusions to create both complex shapes and smooth, continuous components that don’t require a lot of mechanical joining, e.g., welding or soldering. This makes the components strong and less likely to loosen over time.
We are well versed in the needs of a wide range of industries, including education, commercial, construction, government, aerospace, industrial, renewable energy, oil-shale production, and healthcare.
Why Aluminum?
Compared to wood, steel, and masonry, aluminum is the ideal combination of strength and durability for stairs. It can be machined, formed and shaped, conducts heat well, can be used near flammable substances, resists rust and corrosion, and is non-magnetic.
Some aluminum alloys rival medium-grade steel in strength, but aluminum is lighter in weight and less costly. In fact, it is aluminum’s high strength-to-weight ratio that makes it so useful in structural applications, particularly in the aircraft industry.
Wood is a very strong material, but is very vulnerable. Harsh weather, water, and insects can wreak havoc causing wood steps to rot and deteriorate. Any painted finish will peel and fade over time and require repainting and other maintenance.
Brick steps can shift out of alignment, loosen, or fall out. They are also not particularly portable as they typically have to be built on a foundation. When a structure settles, the foundation may settle at a different rate, causing hazardous cracks.
REDD Team Stair & Step Products
- Universal Stair Systems – Constructed of fabricated aluminum, these stairs meet a wide range of codes. They are perfect for building access and ideal for long- or short-term use. Their modular nature means they are easy to relocate and reuse.
- Dura-Grip OSHA Aluminum Stairs – These stairs or steps are designed for construction trailers and field offices to meet OSHA regulations. You can easily assemble and adjust them according to the threshold and your required configuration.
- Dura-Grip General Code Aluminum Stairs – The Dura-Grip General Code stair is designed for portable building access that requires IBC and ADA Compliance. You can assemble these stair systems in minimal time and adjust them to varying threshold heights.
- Flex-Step OSHA Stairs – Extremely versatile for construction trailers and field offices, these adjustable steps weigh only 120 pounds and will handle a concentrated load of 300lbs. They are an excellent solution for walking/ working surfaces where mud, ice, snow, grease, oil, or detergents create slippery or hazardous conditions.
- OSHA Crossover Stairs – Designed for sites that need to meet OSHA regulations for crossing walking path obstructions, these stairs are easily assembled on-site and can be adjusted for the threshold and other configurations. They are maintenance-free, with a durable slip-resistant and self-draining deck, and non-corrosive, non-combustible stairs and railings.
Slips and falls can be traumatic and costly. Get in touch with REDD Team at (800) 648-3696 to learn more about our premium, American-made aluminum outdoor steps and stairs.
