Steel Stairways

What applications are HAKI Steel Stairways suitable for?

HAKI Steel Stairways are engineered to provide safe, reliable and efficient temporary access across a wide range of construction and industrial environments. Manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel, they are ideal for projects requiring durable steel stairs that can withstand demanding site conditions and repeated professional use.

Steel stairways are commonly used with scaffolding, reinforced concrete structures, timber frame construction, embankments and temporary stairwells before permanent stairs have been installed. Their robust design provides safe movement between floor levels, making them an excellent solution for contractors working on commercial construction, infrastructure and industrial maintenance projects.

What sizes of Steel Stairways are available?

HAKI Steel Stairways are available in six modular configurations with 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 steps. Each steel stair module is designed to be combined with dedicated Stairway Support Beams, allowing multiple stairways to be connected and extended to create temporary steel stairs of up to 36 steps.

The modular system makes it easy to adapt the access solution as your project develops, whether you require safe access for a single level or multiple storeys on larger construction sites.

What safety features do HAKI Steel Stairways offer?

Every HAKI Steel Stairway is designed with worker safety as the highest priority. Heavy-duty mesh stair treads create a durable, slip-resistant walking surface that provides excellent grip in challenging site conditions, while integrated handrails remain parallel to the stair angle for comfortable and secure access.

Larger 15 and 18-step stairways also incorporate additional vertical supports for increased stability. Together, these features provide a dependable temporary access solution for construction sites where safe movement between working levels is essential.

How are Steel Stairways installed?

HAKI Steel Stairways have been developed for fast and flexible installation. They can be secured directly to reinforced concrete slabs using slab fixing pairs or attached to compatible scaffolding with dedicated scaffold fixings.

Their adjustable modular design allows contractors to accommodate different pitch angles and site layouts without compromising safety. This flexibility makes steel stairways suitable for both temporary construction access and longer-term maintenance projects where reliable steel stairs are required.

What standards do HAKI Steel Stairways comply with?

Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanised steel, HAKI Steel Stairways are designed for long service life in demanding construction environments. The system complies with EN 12811-1 and supports safe working at height through robust construction, non-slip walking surfaces and secure handrail systems.

Whether used as temporary construction stairs, industrial access stairs or scaffold access, HAKI Steel Stairways provide a dependable solution that combines strength, durability and safety for professional users.
