SafeRack, which manufactures truck and railcar loading platforms and safety equipment, has launched AeroStep, a specialised line of rolling stairs and access platforms for aerospace and aviation industries.
AeroStep’s mobile stairs have the stability of a fixed platform, but are highly mobile and can be precisely positioned against even the most delicate vehicles or equipment. AeroStep’s units can be customised to the unique requirements that are common to aerospace vehicles, giving workers safe access with strict tolerances to such things as intricate space capsules to large, multi-million dollar commercial airliners during assembly or ground support maintenance.
Rob Honeycutt, CEO, says, “Building on our early successes, we will now have a focused group who specializes in AeroSpace solutions, benefitting our customers directly, with a streamlined design process and faster response times.
AeroStep has three primary mobile units that are versatile and have features such as a large work platform, cantilevered and adjustable stairs, sturdy aluminum construction and powder coated surfaces that can be configured for nearly any application.
AeroStep is currently in use at Boeing, GulfStream, SpaceX, Bombardier, Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics.
