Roof access stair installation at a large manufacturing facility in the Southeast.
This installation, uses our modular components configured as a roof access stair tower, providing workers access to the facilities roof at a large manufacturing facility in the Southeast. This aluminum stair system creates long-term and safe access for the facility’s maintenance personnel.
The tower features a straight-run stair configuration engineered to meet OSHA standards for rooftop access at an elevation of approximately 25 feet. Compared to traditional vertical ladders, this design significantly improves both ergonomic access and load-carrying capacity, offering a safer alternative for maintenance workers navigating tools and equipment to the rooftop.
This installation is part of a growing trend among industrial facilities seeking permanent, code-compliant alternatives to outdated cage ladders. Upside’s prefabricated stair towers provide scalable, modular solutions that are both code-compliant and future-ready, supporting safe and efficient building access.
As with all Upside projects, the solution was delivered turn-key — from design through installation — with a focus on performance, compliance, and long-term value.
Our ready-to-install rooftop stairs are made from industrial-grade components that bolt together for easy installation without needing special tools or equipment. Say goodbye to time-consuming engineering, welding, and custom fabrication.
Because our rooftop access stairs are modular and made from lightweight, high-quality aluminum, no lift or crane is required for installation, and each component can be carried up to the roof. They are designed to meet your specifications, including OSHA code-compliancy. Many options are available to ensure that you require ADA, IBC, or any other local building code.
While steel is known to rust and corrodes over time, especially in harsh weather conditions, aluminum is maintenance-free. Lighter construction also means less weight eliminating distribution complications common on roof-top installation.
