Warehouse safety steps are the workhorse access product in any stores or distribution operation — tubular steel steps that move when you push them and lock solid when you climb. This collection covers the GPC Climb-It UK range, manufactured from durable painted strong tubular steel.
Climb-It Warehouse Essentials safety steps come complete with a handlock mechanism that engages or disengages the front castors, so the steps switch between mobile and static in a second — push to the pick face, lock, climb. Anti-slip platforms and treads keep footing secure through a full shift. The full Climb-It UK warehouse steps range extends the same construction across tread counts from 3 up to 15 treads, reaching upper pick levels that smaller steps can't.
A practical note on delivery: these are substantial steel products. Three-to-seven-tread models need two people to offload, eight-to-eleven-tread models need three, and the largest twelve-to-fifteen-tread steps need a forklift or four people — plan goods-in accordingly.
Like all access equipment, warehouse steps are work equipment under PUWER 1998: build a pre-use visual check into your routine and a periodic recorded inspection into your maintenance planner, paying attention to tread surfaces, the handlock mechanism and castor condition. Steps that lock positively and grip reliably are what keep a busy pick operation moving without incident.
Choosing warehouse steps: count treads against your highest picking level (stand on the platform, not the top tread), check the gangway width they'll live in, and prefer handlock castor mechanisms where steps are shared between aisles. All steps priced in GBP. Compare against mobile safety steps and platforms in the full access platforms & steps collection, or read the warehouse steps buying guide first.
