Steps and Stillages Hercules Wing Gate Access Steps
Our "Hercules" mobile access step has grown wings! This mobile step is a heavy duty step designed for a rough life and now boasts a pair of folding gates which fold out and gate off the open end of the trailer. These folding gates offer a safe working space for loaders or drivers when working on, or in, a lorry or trailer. When mobile steps are used in lorry parks and in a loading bay environment, they are liable to constant use and often moved and knocked with forklifts. We have made our heavy duty access ladder from a substantial 40x40x3mm box section and, like all our mobile step range, are a fully welded one piece construction.
The angle of the steps is 45 degrees, an easy slope step, which allows the user to walk down forward facing. The treads are our hi-grip steel treads ofering excellent grip in in wet and oily conditions.
This 6 step mobile ladder has a platform height of 1250mm and is fitted with 2 substantial 200mm nylon wheels and 2 smaller 100mm diameter wheels housed in swivel castors allowing easy movement. On the side of the steps is mounted a brake lever which disengages the smaller wheels when in use allowing a safe stable platform for the steps. Also fitted is a swing access bar at the top and safety notice on the side.
When not in use, the folding gates fold up and lock shut against the access step side frames. To use the step, simply roll the step to the rear of the lorry, engage brake lever and then simply lift up and swing out the gates into position.
