Our budget range of Narrow Aisle mobile steps is still just as heavy duty as our standard Narrow Aisle range. The structure is identical, we have simply removed a few features to lower the cost.
These heavy duty budget mobile steps are designed for use in narrow aisles or tight spaces. They are robustly made with a fully welded structure to take the daily abuse that a modern warehouse demands.
Note though, that they should not be used in open spaces as they are not as stable if the operative is leaning out. In order to improve stability, all our narrow aisle mobile steps have tapering sides so the user is forced to stand over the centre line.
Our budget range has 2 fixed castors at the rear end and 2 feet at the front. The steps can be moved by lifting the handles and tilting the steps back to raise the feet off the floor.
The mobile ladder is fitted with our industrial hi-grip step as standard and a safety operating sticker. This narrow aisle warehouse step has a max width of 540mm, but we can offer the ladder in any custom size as required.
Mobile steps are painted as standard, or can be galvanized.

Standard White Nylon Wheels
As standard, our mobile safety steps are fitted with 200mm dia white nylon wheels at the back and 100mm polyurethane wheels housed in swivel castors at the front.
These wheels are hard wearing and robust to give a long life, with each rated to 150kg.
Optional Rubber Wheels
As an optional extra, we can fit rubber tyred wheels. These are the same size and of a similar load rating to the nylon wheels. Rubber has the advantage of being quieter when being rolled and slightly easier to push. They cannot though easily be skidded sideways.
Optional Extras
Warehouse Step Gates
A safety gate can be mounted at the base of the mobile steps to deter unauthorised use. The gate rotates through 270 degrees and fastens when open against the side of the mobile ladder.
Warehouse Step Basket
Handy general purpose wire basket which hooks over the top handrail of the mobile steps.
Safety Steps Standard Paint Finish
As standard, our mobile safety steps come painted, using a one coat primer/finish - Zinfos 700CT. This gives good adhesion to the steel with the primer for a long and robust life, and smart finished appearance with a 70% gloss level.
Safety Steps Galvanized Finish
As an optional extra, we are able to offer a galvanized mobile step finish. The galvanized mobile step is dip coated as a fully welded structure so retains its inherent strength and has no nuts & bolts which can loosen over time.
The galvanized zinc coating fully covers the mobile ladder protecting it from the detriments of the outside environment, especially important in external and coastal environments. It is equally useful in food preparation or scientific clean areas where it can be pressure washed regularly and there is no risk of paint flakes.
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
More info on Slip testing and Ceram can be found by here Slip Resistance Testing
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.
