Using portable stairs with handrails also makes it much easier to bring tools down into the work area.

Range of sizes

Our portable stairs come in a range of sizes with adjustable height elevation from 1.9m to 4.0m. They can be optimised to the correct height and angle for your work site.


use of stairs on construction sites

Also known as temporary construction stairs, portable stairs can provide stair access for batters, waterway access, and staircase voids. The portable steps are foldable, ideal for storage and transport. Ideal for moving around the site when works are constantly moving forward.

Safe design

Portable stairs are a better option than stair ladders as they are wheelless which provides greater stability for access into the excavation. They also provide advantages over scaffolding stairs as no scaffolders ticket is required for set up. The portable safety steps self-level providing access at the correct level of excavation.

Adjustable stairs allow safe movement between different levels of a construction work area.


Portable stair hire is much more cost-effective and our range gives access to all sizes. They are available for short and long term hire at discounted rates.
