AdjustaStairs
AdjustaStairs is revolutionizing how crews access heights on construction and industrial sites across the country. This patented, OSHA-compliant stair system replaces ladders—one of the leading causes of jobsite injuries—with a safer, faster, and far more reliable solution. In under five minutes, two people can install AdjustaStairs with no tools, no specialist knowledge, and no need for complex scaffolding or additional certification. Once secured at the top and bottom, and the handrails are raised, it's ready for immediate use.
Each unit features self-leveling treads that automatically adjust to suit a wide range of angles and elevations, creating a consistent and stable walking surface on uneven terrain, between decks, or down into excavations. Built from lightweight yet heavy-duty marine-grade aluminum, AdjustaStairs is easy to reposition and durable enough for long-term use in the harshest environments. No matter the job, AdjustaStairs helps companies eliminate unsafe ladders, reduce fall risks, and dramatically improve productivity.
AdjustaStairs Applications
Moving between slabs or decks in commercial builds often means relying on ladders or temporary scaffold stair towers—both of which create safety concerns and slow down workflows. AdjustaStairs provides fast, reusable floor-to-floor access that installs in minutes and self-levels to match slab elevations. The available 48" wide version supports higher foot traffic and better crew flow in busy areas, reducing congestion and improving safety. If you're searching for temporary stairs between levels, construction slab-to-slab access, or a ladder replacement for multi-story sites, AdjustaStairs is the tool of choice for modern builds.

Navigating slopes and embankments on construction sites often requires makeshift solutions or dangerous ladder use—neither of which offer the safety or stability crews need. AdjustaStairs is engineered to self-level on angled terrain, creating a reliable stairway across batter slopes without scaffolding or custom fabrication. Crews can easily join multiple units end-to-end to span long runs, and secure them using simple ground pinning and sleeper fixes. If you're searching for safe slope access stairs, temporary stairs for uneven ground, or construction site batter stairways, AdjustaStairs delivers unmatched safety and speed—eliminating the hazards of unstable access routes.

Features a self-closing swing gate at the entrance to the platform, which allows the user to simply push the gate open when accessing the work platform, and it will automatically shut behind them.
This loading platform system is also great for goods handling around and on other heavy vehicles such as trains and more.
45-degree stair access: much safer and manageable than ladder access, especially when you are carrying equipment. And 8.5″-deep, braced stair treads are ridged with an anti-slip tread to make them durable and safe for use in any conditions. Add to this, 8″ locking nylon castors with sealed bearings for longevity. When locked, the castor rotation as well as movement locks, providing access platform stability.
Includes forklift sleeves and crane lifting brackets for easy transportation. Crane lifting points are provided as standard; fork sleeves are an optional extra.
Swaged aluminium plate deck for superior grip and drainage, cross-braced frame, 1102lbs SWL and compliant with OSHA standards, and is also NATA tested and approved.
Truck loading platforms are available in 8′, 13′ and 19'8″ length versions, with options such as non-slip fibreglass stair nosing.
The guardrail is attached to the side of the truck by passing the clamp lock block between the tie rail and the body of the deck. Pivot the block into the vertical position behind the tie rail and rotate the base block into the best position to support the frame against the tie rail and side of the deck. Firmly tighten the handle to activate the clamp.
Add further guardrails adjacent to each other along the side of the vehicle as required.
Vehicle access Portable Stairs or Super Maintenance Platforms with 'wings' can be used in conjunction with the Truck Edge Protection Guardrail to access the bed of the vehicle.
The BridgeDeck was originally designed and created specifically for a hire company who required safe and easy access to maintain hard to reach areas on their machines.
Rather than starting completely from scratch, the solution was already in our range - a combination of Super Maintenance Platforms for access and a customized adjustable bridging deck from which to safely and efficiently work.
The SafeSmart engineering team combined our super maintenance platforms with an innovative height adjustable bridging system to create the perfect solution, complete with compliance to OSHA standards and height adjustment of a 36″ range.

For convenience, emergency rescue, tourist joy rides and defense, helicopters have become an essential tool for specialist access in their own right. And they need their own special set of skills for maintenance – more exposed moving parts than a fixed-wing jet aircraft, and a more complicated combination of stabilizers, tail rotors, blades and assemblies.
Traditionally, ground maintenance crew have used ladders of various types of quality and intended applications to access the top of the aircraft's critical components. However in many countries, this does not comply with safety regulations. What's more important to note, this trend encourages clambering upon narrow, uneven and slippery surfaces, risking falls that result in injury or even death.
To help keep your rotary aircraft maintenance schedule efficient and safe, see helicopter maintenance stands and customized work platforms from SafeSmart Aviation.
The aviation industry is reliant on professional and efficient ground maintenance to keep fleets flying. Any drop in safety standards not only means a risk to the aircraft in the sky, but also a risk to personnel on the ground. Having a tight maintenance schedule to accommodate commercial air travel is no excuse for cutting corners around the hangar.
Every single flight and aircraft needs to be treated the same, with strict adherence to air safety regulations. However on the ground is also critical, as stringent workplace regulations apply, particularly when working at height.
Whether you are in charge of a commercial, civil or defense aviation facility, safety is paramount for achieving efficiency. Do not risk personal safety and clamber freely at height over wings and fuselages, see custom aircraft maintenance platforms from SafeSmart Aviation, the global leaders in height access on the ramp.
