Step Over Units & Platforms

Step Over Units, also known as Step Over Platforms, Access Platforms or Step Over Systems, are specialised structures designed to provide safe access over obstacles on roofs, walkways, or other elevated areas. They are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and construction settings where there is equipment, pipework, ductwork, or other obstacles that need to be crossed while maintaining safe access.

Step Over Units & Access Platforms for Safe Roof Access

Step Over Units and Access Platforms are typically constructed using sturdy materials such as aluminum or steel and are designed to be lightweight yet robust. They consist of a series of steps or platforms that are connected to form a secure pathway over the obstacle. The platforms are often equipped with non-slip surfaces or grating to ensure safe footing in various weather conditions.

Designed to Last and Meet Various Roof Types

Our Step Over Units and Access Platforms are built with durability in mind. They are constructed using sturdy materials and are weather-resistant, ensuring long-lasting performance. Whether you have a membrane roof, tiled roof, fragile roof with glazing, or a metal roof, our bespoke designs can be tailored to suit each specific application.

Lightweight Solution for Roof Protection:
At STQ Vantage we understand the importance of preventing damage to roofs, especially membrane roofs. Our Step Over Units and Access Platforms feature aluminium tubing and broad caddy feet that distribute weight evenly, minimising the risk of sinkage into the roof and potential damage. This lightweight design provides excellent value for money, as it protects your roof investment over time.

Non-Slip GRP Deck for Enhanced Safety: Safety is our priority, regardless of weather conditions. Our Step Over Units and Access Platforms are equipped with high-grip GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) decks, ensuring a secure walking surface for operators. This non-slip feature reduces the risk of slips, trips, and falls, which account for a significant portion of employee injuries. Additionally, the GRP grids have strategically placed holes, allowing water and debris to drain away from the walking area, maintaining optimal traction.

Meeting compliance and ensuring the safety of workers: At STQ Vantage, we understand the importance of protecting occupants and preventing injuries during building maintenance. That’s why we offer Step Over Units and Access Platforms that are designed and built to comply with British Standards, including BS EN 14122-3.
