SafeRack introduces AeroStep mobile stair and platform systems

SafeRack, one of the leading manufacturers of truck and railcar loading platforms and safety equipment, has announced the launch of AeroStep, a specialised line of rolling stairs and access platforms for aerospace and aviation industries.

AeroStep’s mobile stairs have the stability of a fixed platform, but are highly mobile and can be precisely positioned against even the most delicate vehicles or equipment. AeroStep’s units can be customised to the unique requirements that are common to aerospace vehicles, giving workers safe access with strict tolerances to such things as intricate space capsules to large, multi-million-dollar commercial airliners during assembly or ground support maintenance.

“Building on our early successes, we will now have a focused group that specialises in AeroSpace solutions, benefitting our customers directly, with a streamlined design process and faster response times,” stated company CEO, Rob Honeycutt. “AeroStep has three primary mobile units that are versatile and have features, such as a large work platform, cantilevered and adjustable stairs, sturdy aluminium construction and powder-coated surfaces that can be configured for nearly any application.

Currently in use at Boeing, Gulfstream, SpaceX, Bombardier, Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics, AeroStep says its equipment is recognised for its best-in-industry quality and safety, filling a void in the aerospace market with high concept access designs that leverage patented technologies to create the most versatile, efficient and OSHA compliant equipment in aircraft and space vehicle assembly and maintenance.
