ErectaStep Targets Tight-Aisle Warehousing With ProStep Ladder Line

The ProStep line focuses on a minimal footprint and a specialized turning radius, allowing workers to reach bays, corners, and equipment-adjacent positions previously inaccessible. The units are available in widths of 2 and 3 feet, with platform heights spanning from 40 to 120 inches. According to the company, these ladders offer up to 9 square feet of working space, currently the largest platform in the industry.

Safety remains a central feature through the integrated lift-and-lock system. This mechanism retracts the pivoting casters and plants a rubber-footed base firmly on the floor in a single motion. For added security, the handle design physically blocks access to the lower steps while the ladder is mobile, preventing use until the unit is fully stabilized. Each ladder supports a 1,000-pound load and adheres to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.23(e) and ANSI A14.7 standards.

Ted Richardson, Vice President of ProStep, noted that the design responds to the increasing density of modern industrial facilities. Beyond the standard models, operators can utilize 1-foot or 2-foot cantilever add-ons to reach over conveyors or machinery. The product line is now available through the company's authorized distributor network for use in sectors ranging from aviation and manufacturing to data centers.
