The basic version of KRAUSE’s lightweight steps have a 45-degree angle and come with 600, 800 or 1000 mm-wide steps. The 225 mm deep steps are made from corrugated aluminium and provide a safe surface to stand on. KRAUSE can also supply steps with a 60 degree angle if conditions on site demand. Depending on the steps’ use, they can also be fitted with aluminium grating or perforated steps. The steps are furthermore fitted with an ergonomic round handrail and, on request, can also be fitted with a second one. KRAUSE's lightweight steps are available up to a vertical height of just about 3.90 metres and a 45 degree angle. Customers needing a larger space to stand and work from can also choose steps with an integrated platform. These steps have all of the same features as KRAUSE’s basic version steps, but are also fitted with a large platform at the top for safe access to doors and mezzanines or for use as a comfortable space to work from.
