Adjustable Stairway
Level stairs on any gradient — engineered to eliminate slip-and-fall incidents in travelling ways.
How it works
The Adjustable Stairway was designed for travelling ways where the gradient and stair angle cannot be pre-determined at installation.
As the inclination of the excavation changes, each stair can be individually adjusted so that the tread stays level underfoot. That removes the number-one cause of slip, trip and fall incidents on inclined access routes.
Why crews choose it
- Level tread on any gradient
- Reduces slip, trip and fall incidents
- Adjusts in place — no rework
- Robust, mine-duty construction
