Your worksite will require various access points to help people get around different places. REDD Team can help you with whatever needs you have when getting metal stairs and work platforms ready for your space. We can also create ramps for various uses.
A workplace with enough access points and features will be more functional. Workers will have an easier time going around the space, plus they can reach the spots they need to get without much effort. Having the right assets is necessary for your success, and REDD Team will be open to helping you manage your platforms and stairs.
Functional Stairs For All Places
You can order metal stairs from REDD Team that can work in different spaces around your worksite. Some of the more common applications include entry point steps, loading dock stairs, crossover steps to go over obstacles, and maintenance steps that provide access to generators and other sensitive items.
Your metal stairs will need to be safe and secure in all situations. REDD Team can develop stairs that are wide enough while also being at a suitable angle. Steps with an angle of 30 to 50 degrees will make it easy for workers to go up and down, while the steps and any platform on top can be at least 22 inches wide. Handrails and guardrails that are at least 42 inches high and can handle up to 200 pounds of force from any angle are also necessary.
Ramps Are Also Useful
The next point to see for your workplace involves using ramps. Ramps help people who use wheelchairs get around different spaces. You can also use ramps for when you’re trying to tote heavy weights around a space.
A ramp is more practical than a motorized lift or elevator that might take a while to install and could break down. You can add a ramp next to whatever stairs are around. You could also install the ramp directly over the steps if you have the room, especially if there are only one or two steps in a spot.
Ramps are necessary to help your worksite stay compliant with ADA guidelines. You can reach us at REDD Team for support in getting these ramps ready.
How Are Work Platforms Designed?
Work platforms must also be designed to be sturdy and functional. REDD Team can help you get a new work platform that can handle all the weight your space will take.
Your platform must support at least five times the anticipated weight load, plus that support must be at least a thousand pounds. We use aluminum items in our installations at REDD Team because aluminum can handle more weight and won’t buckle under pressure.
The lightweight nature of aluminum also ensures you can install your platform somewhere without struggling to carry it around. It’s easier to install and secure a safe platform when you’ve got something you can handle well.
REDD Team is ready to help you with your metal stairs, access points, and work platforms at your business site.
