Australian Standards For Steps
Australian Standards for Steps, Backed by Local Fabrication
At Grating Industries, we manufacture steel stair treads and industrial access systems to meet relevant Australian standards for steps, including AS 1657. Since 1989, we’ve supplied engineered grating and drainage products to South Australia’s construction sector. Today, we manufacture at our Lonsdale facility, where we oversee fabrication and maintain quality control. Our stair treads support access to elevated walkways, platforms and work areas, with custom dimensions that accommodate the structure and conditions of each site.
As a family-run company, we bring a personal commitment to the work that leaves our workshop. Our leadership team contributes more than 40 years of combined industry experience, drawing on engineering knowledge and fabrication expertise. We discuss your structural, environmental and regulatory requirements before developing a suitable solution. From metropolitan Adelaide developments to regional infrastructure, we offer responsive service and locally manufactured products that give builders and project teams a dependable source of supply.
Australian Standards for Steps Guide Every Design Decision
Compliance starts with the details people encounter underfoot. Our approach to Australian standards for steps focuses on AS 1657 for the industrial access systems we manufacture. We consider step uniformity, stair gradients, clear access widths and landings alongside structural loads. Slip-resistant surfaces and suitable handrail arrangements also inform our designs. By dealing with these elements together, we help project teams create consistent, practical access between levels in warehouses, industrial plants and other demanding work environments.
Our steel stair treads accommodate project-specific load ratings and installation requirements. You can choose weld-in treads for a permanent structural connection or bolt-in configurations for installation and future maintenance flexibility. We also offer floor plate nosing for improved edge grip and abrasive nosing for additional slip resistance and visibility. We can supply hot-dip galvanised treads for corrosion protection. Each choice serves a practical purpose, allowing us to match fabrication details to the intended application and prevailing site conditions.
Put Australian Standards for Steps to Work on Your Site
Applying Australian standards for steps helps you plan access around the people, structures and operating conditions on your site. Our grated treads encourage drainage and provide slip resistance for outdoor and industrial settings. When wet conditions increase slip concerns, our abrasive nosing options suit applications across mining, utilities, wastewater, and heavy industry. We help you assess these options against your project requirements, so your stair treads offer the strength, grip and durability your working environment calls for.
We also fabricate platforms, grating and steel handrail systems, allowing us to coordinate the components of your access solution. Our stanchion range includes several mounting arrangements, including platform-mounted, side-mounted, welded and angled configurations. This flexibility helps us integrate handrails with structural supports and reduce site modifications. When your project requires supporting information, we can provide engineering documentation for our handrail systems to assist with certification and approvals.
