Application

Ascent Step Units provide simple access solutions to complex access issues, including how to get over mechanical and electrical services; ducting, pipework, cable trays and parapet walls without compromising the health and safety of the worker. They are typically used on roof tops and in plant rooms. 

Description

Ascent™ Step Units are typically 800 mm wide complete with handrail to both sides. They can be provided in both galvanized mild steel and aluminium mill finish or powder-coated to requirements. The step units can be both free standing supported on non-penetrative rubber feet or affixed to the structure of the building. The walking surface is free-draining and anti-slip.


Bridge units are designed in accordance with BS EN ISO 14122-1:2001 + A1 2010 and manufactured in Great Britain in accordance with CE/ UKCA manufacturing procedures. Investment in both research and development has enabled the creation of a step system manufactured in accordance with BS EN ISO 3834-2:2005 and BS EN 1090-1:2009 + A1:2011 & 2:2008 and CE Marked. This has produced an accurately manufactured product which is both easy to specify and install.
