Traditional steel scaffold tubes and fitting stairs are a popular alternative to ladders or when system scaffold staircases are unsuitable and you require safe access to a working platform or multiple levels on scaffolds, construction sites, DIY projects, or other elevated work areas. Stair scaffolds provide a wider, more stable platform that allows workers and their materials to ascend and descend safely between different levels. They are designed to meet strict safety standards and are equipped with handrails and other safety features to prevent accidents.
Scaffold stairs are often preferred due to their bespoke design, durability, strength, adaptability, and ability to provide safe access to hard-to-reach areas. They are constructed using heavy-duty steel scaffolding tubes, fittings, timber boards and metal stair treads. When built into a flight of stairs, these structures provide an excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to corrosion. Steel scaffold staircases will significantly reduce the risk of falls compared to ladders.
They can be erected in any location, including providing access to warehouse windows or the roof of a block of flats, fire escapes to office blocks, to access machinery or tanks in factory or industrial settings, sports events, concerts, accessing portakabins on construction sites, accessing boats or yachts for repair works in dockyards plus much more. If you feel that tube and fitting scaffold stairs are unsuitable for your project, we also offer hire, sales & installation of Haki stairs, Layher staircases and Cuplock stair towers.
Apart from the traditional staircases installed on the side of a building, staircase scaffolds can also be erected internally on stairs or stairwells to access high ceilings or walls for repairs or maintenance work.
Below is a list of some of the different scaffold stairs we offer:
Yes, you can erect traditional steel tubes and fitting scaffolds onto a staircase or stairwell; however, it is a little more labour-intensive, extra care has to be taken, and you need to ensure the stairs can take the weight of the scaffold. Steel scaffolds built on stairs or in stairwells that require a lot of equipment may require a design or careful planning, but in general, steel scaffold structures can be used to access stair ceilings, walls, lighting and more. Other alternatives like stair podiums or stairwell system towers can also be used.
The great thing about a steel stair scaffold is that it can be built to any size. Scaffold designs will be required for bespoke or very tall structures, but there are no size, height or width restrictions.
A scaffold staircase structure should be erected at an angle of approximately 27 degrees, which is safe and comfortable for users to climb up and down.
They should be designed and erected in accordance with the relevant BS EN12810, BS EN 12811 and TG20:22 standards.
These create the steps on traditional steel stair scaffolds, which come in various lengths and have a non-slip surface. Either end of the treads features studs that connect to a double coupler that is then attached to a scaffold tube.
