    Serrated Step

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Steps. Ladder-Style Steps, Perforated Step.

    Perforated Step

    Good for use as ladder rungs, cut these steps to size with a metal-cutting saw and weld them in place. For a clean weld, match the step material to the surface you are welding to. These steps must be welded at each end with welds capable of supporting the rated capacity. For those 5 ft. and longer, the maximum cut length is 24". Shorter lengths support higher capacities.
    Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
    Galvanized Steel—Galvanized steel steps require preparation before welding—grind off the coating from the part of the step you intend to weld. After welding, apply a cold galvanizing spray to the welds to protect against rust.
    Serrated Step—Serrated steps give you maximum slip resistance and allow liquids and debris to pass through. Perforated steps are less slip-resistant than serrated steps but offer a more comfortable hand grip.

    Ladder Rung Treads

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Ladder Rung Treads.
    Step up safety—attach these treads to the rungs of your wall and tank ladders to help prevent slips and falls.
    Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
    Square
    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Ladder Rung Treads. Square.
    Square treads fit both square and round treads.
    Yellow—Yellow treads stand out in busy areas.
    Glow-in-the-Dark Green—Glow-in-the-dark green treads are visible in low light and during power outages.
    Steel—Steel treads have a galvanized finish, so they hold up to both indoor and outdoor use. However, the grit coating is sprayed onto the steel, so it will eventually wear off. Weld these treads in place. Cut them to length with a hand grinder or miter saw using a masonry blade.
    Fiberglass—Fiberglass treads resist corrosion better than steel treads—they hold up to chemicals and saltwater. They’re also more durable because the grit coating is fused to the fiberglass. Cut them to length with a diamond-tipped masonry blade. Attach these treads to your rungs using structural adhesive (sold separately).

    Add a hand- or foothold for easier access to your vehicle or equipment. These handles have a textured surface that’s easy to grip and keeps you from slipping.
    Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
    Weld On—Weld-on step handles can be installed with the side guards facing up or down. Mount them up to keep your toe from slipping; mount them down to maximize the surface area on top of the handle. For a clean weld, choose a handle that’s the same material as your mounting surface.

    Get a leg up. Weld or bolt these steps—originally designed to hang underneath trucks—to any flat horizontal surface. They’re wide and deep enough to support both feet at once to give you a stable base. They’re also serrated, so you won’t slip. And unlike fold-away options, they’re always ready to step on. Made of galvanized steel, you can use them outdoors and in harsh conditions. Rubber sides absorb impact without breaking.

    A leg up when you need it, out of the way when you don’t—these ladders slide in and out of their mounting bracket for easy access. Originally designed for trucks, weld or bolt them underneath any surface. Made of powder-coated steel, they resist rust and stand up to the elements. The perforated steps are slip resistant and easier on your shoes than serrated steps.
