Prefabricated aluminum stairs for portable buildings need to be installed fast, fit changing threshold heights, and meet the right safety code for the use case. REDD Team manufactures modular aluminum stair systems purpose-built for portable classrooms, office trailers, swing-space entries, and other relocatable buildings.
All of REDD Team’s products are engineered from structural aluminum, shipped in repeatable kits, and detailed for code alignment so occupied sites can open safely on day one. All components move just as easily when the site plan changes.
Why Aluminum for Portable Buildings
Portable facilities turn over frequently. Aluminum delivers strength without the weight and repaint cycles of steel, which makes handling, set-up, and future relocation simpler. In addition, slip-resistant, self-draining treads and platforms support everyday footing in rain or snow to ensure safety. Furthermore, corrosion resistance keeps surfaces serviceable between moves.
Two Compliance Tracks, One Kit of Parts
Portable buildings serve two very different audiences. REDD Team supports both consumers with prefabricated options that share a common, modular architecture:
General-Code/ADA Access
Dura-Grip General Code and Universal Aluminum Stairs are designed for entries that must meet building-code geometry and integrate with ADA routes.
The aluminum stairs are ideal for portable classrooms or a publicly accessible swing space. If needed, you can pair with the Universal Wheelchair Ramp System for a complete accessible approach.
OSHA Access
Flex-Step and Dura-Grip OSHA stairs are leading choices for construction trailers and field offices that fall under OSHA’s walking-working-surface rules. The stairs install quickly. They feature adjustable legs and stair angles that make threshold tuning straightforward.
Not sure which applies to your particular portable building needs? Consider the following criteria when making a decision.
- If the public uses the entrance, design to building-code/ADA criteria.
- For crew-only access at jobsites, OSHA stair provisions must be followed.
Built to Fit Without Custom Fabrication
Portable buildings rarely share the same floor height. REDD Team stairs are sized in practical ranges and adjusted on site to meet common thresholds.
A single kit by REDD Team covers multiple building models and pad conditions:
- Adjustable Thresholds: Flex-Step models cover typical trailer heights, for example, 28″–49″, with similar adjustability on Dura-Grip lines. We can further fine-tune the legs and base plates after setting down, if needed.
- Reusable Modules: Once bolted together, the landings, rails and flights are easy to move from site to site. Also, you can reuse them as portable clusters or offices that rotate through a campus or yard.
Right-Sized Runs: For public entries, Universal and General Code stairs coordinate with ADA routes and door clearances. Also, for jobsite trailers, our OSHA models meet stair geometry and rail criteria out of the box.
Without a doubt, prefabrication pays off most during mobilization. The kits arrive complete, hardware is standardized, and no hot work is required, which are all undeniable perks and what sets REDD Team apart from the competition.
Many Applications of Prefabricated Aluminum Stairs
Below are a few application ideas for REDD Team’s prefabricated aluminum stairs.
Portable Classrooms & Temporary School Wings
Lightweight kits move as swing space shifts. REDD Team’s Universal Stairs tie neatly into ramp approaches for accessible routes.
Office Trailers & Project Sites
OSHA-aligned stairs for field offices, inspection trailers, and temporary control rooms. The portable buildings provide quick threshold changes and re-use.
Modular Offices & Campuses
General-code stairs support multi-tenant portable complexes during renovations without shutting entrances.
Submittals and Support
REDD Team provides dimensional drawings and code-aligned notes to match your permitting path:
- ADA/building-code for public access
- OSHA provisions for crew-only entries
Technical specs and installation guides accompany each stair family to keep approvals and inspections predictable.
Call us (800) 648-3696 or contact us online for prefabricated aluminum stairs for portable buildings. Share threshold heights, door swing constraints, and site conditions with us, and we’ll return a stair configuration, either general-code/ADA or OSHA, that installs quickly, meets the applicable standard, and can relocate with your building when the plan changes.
