5 Step Spring Loaded Mobile Steps

5 Step Narrow Aisle mobile steps fitted with spring loaded castors which retract when the operator's weight is placed on the steps.

The spring loaded mobile castors have 75mm rubber tyre wheels fitted as standard and different spring rates for the front and rear castors to help balance the weight of the steps. The legs are fitted with rubber feet which bottom out on the ground when the mobile steps are stood on.

Handrails are fitted to both sides of the mobile steps with 1m high handrails around the top step platform. The narrow steps incline is 45 degrees to allow easy climbing up and down.

All our mobile steps are made here in Kettering and are of a strong welded steel construction. The steps come as standard in a painted finish and have a safety notice fitted.

Standard Punched Steel Step Treads

As standard, our mobile safety steps are fitted with "punched and raised holes" step treads. These treads are highly slip resistant and also shed water off very efficiently.

The step treads are formed from 2mm mild steel and have 9 mm dia punched and 5 mm dia drainage holes in a square pattern. The 9mm holes are "raised" in such a way that the sharp edge of the hole is exposed which grips the sole of a shoe offering high levels of slip resistance. The step treads pass a 15mm ball bearing test - a standard test for steps and grid flooring. The punched and drainage holes give the profile an unsurpassed high strength to weight ratio.

These treads have been tested for slip resistance by the testing company Lucideon in their UKAS accredited testing laboratory. The "Pendulum Test" was originally developed for road surfaces but has grown to include all manner of surfaces such as supermarket floors or swimming pools.

Our step treads were rated as follows:
Dry test: 66 value - Extremely low
Wet test: 50 value - Low

Optional Aggressive Tread

This step is more akin to a bear trap! The Aggressive step tread can be identified by oval, serrated holes that provide the top flange of the planks with a very high load capacity, and rolled side flanges that further reinforce the planks and gratings.

This step tread is used where requirements of slip resistance and drainage are high - often in marine environments, industries with oil and water, building sites, etc. Please note, this is an optional extra and also adds an extra week or so to the build time.

Other Treads available

As the mobile steps manufacturer, we can build the steps with whatever treads suit your requirement. This is not of course the cheapest solution. We offer a competitively priced range of standard mobile steps but acknowledge that sometimes price is not the critical factor, but rather design is.

Rubber Treads

Whilst we can make steps with rubber mats stuck on, we no longer offer them as a standard option. They offer no real benefit over the punched steel treads and over time, the glue will invariable fail... a corner lifts... gets caught... gets ripped off.
