FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our products are manufactured with Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) steel tube which has a 1.50mm thick wall. The ERW tube is a strong but very light weight product, people refer to it as “precision” tube because of its high quality surface and close manufacturing tolerances. Our products are finished off by a high specification of architectural powder coating, this is applied as a dry powder through an electrostatic process. It is then baked in our oven to cure, which provides a high gloss finish that is flexible and easy to keep clean. Powder coating is the hands down top choice of finish for your product and is a cut above any wet spraying options. The chemical bonds to the steel to give it a superior protective layer that will hold up to extreme weather conditions and physical impact, meaning it’s scratch resistant. It can last up to 20 years when looked after correctly and the best part of this amazing product is, it’s environmentally friendly! Finally we work with one of the best wheels and castor suppliers in Europe who have a large range of robust products available. Adding these to our product as standard means that we can offer products with a HUGE Safe Working Load (SWL) weight of 300Kg, with some of our mobile steps being able to withstand a SWL weight of 500Kg. All of our products are manufactured through good working practices and we hold the ISO9001 certificate (and have done since 1994). Mobile steps have been tested by an independent testing house and certified certificates have been issued at either 300Kg or 500Kg SWL weight. These can be downloaded on our product pages. We use environmentally friendly products wherever possible within our manufacturing process and continually strive to reduce our carbon footprint. We’re pleased to advise that between 2020 - 2021 we managed to reduce our wastage by 45%.
