The press box at your outdoor athletic venue needs to be high over the field to that everyone in the box can see what’s happening on the playing surface. You’ll require secure access stair towers to help get people to go in and out of your press box area. REDD Team is available to serve you by producing a top-level access stair tower that can work on either end or side of your press box.
How Is a Press Box Stair Tower Designed?
A press box stair tower will feature a design that goes on the side of the press box. You can get two towers for your box, with a tower on each side of the box. A single tower that enters the wider side may also work if you secure it in the right spot.
Your tower will feature various points:
- The stairs will feature a few rest spots leading up to the box. These spots will appear in places where a person has to go from a staircase in one direction to another staircase.
- Handrails and guardrails are necessary on the sides of the steps and rest spots. These rails can extend slightly beyond the top and bottom parts of the steps.
- The top area near the press box door should feature additional guardrails and fencing materials to protect all people.
- For cases where the door into the box goes outward, there should be enough room at the top of the stair tower to where the door can open and close without obstruction.
You can select any design you want for your press box tower, but it should be strong enough to handle all the weight and pressure you will expect. Our team can help produce a custom-made tower here in the United States and ship it to your location. Our experts will review your situation and can work with whatever needs you require when getting your tower ready.
What Should You Expect From a Tower?
A quality stair tower will feature sturdy aluminum materials that can handle several times the weight the tower expects to carry. The body can also handle at least 200 pounds of pressure from any angle to ensure the body will not weaken or break apart from pressure.
There are some other features to spot when getting a tower ready:
- The tower must have smooth surfaces to keep items from getting caught. These items can include clothing and various wires and other media equipment.
- Openings can appear on the bottom parts of the guardrails to keep precipitation from accumulating on the risers and rest areas.
- The steps should also feature grooved surfaces that can support footwear and prevent slipping. This point is critical for wet situations.
- The anchors on the bottom part should also be secure enough to where the tower will not slip or fall apart. Cement or other weighted materials on the bottom can work well.
