www.designercontracts.com Easy Stair – site staircase
Easy Stair is a temporary site staircase which is now extremely popular and in widespread use across the UK housebuilding industry.
Easy Stair increases productivity by allowing SAFE, FAST access to upper floors from the very earliest stages of construction, allowing construction activities to speed along prior to the installation of the finished stairs. They are particularly popular in faster build methods such as timber frame but they have benefits across all methods of construction as shown in the picture.
Safety is also improved by removing the need to climb up and down ladders whilst carrying tools or materials.
Easy Stair is now available for hire when short term site requirements dictate. This can also allow for new users to trial the product without committing to the purchase cost. Visit Safety Platforms website for more information. 01924 420820
