Last week, TRAD UK launched its latest innovation, the Plettac Metrix EasyStair, a groundbreaking staircase system designed to meet and exceed safety standards on construction sites throughout the UK.
Compliant with BS EN 12810 and BS EN 12811 standards, this innovative solution boasts impressive load capacities of up to 4.0kN/m² and features a compact 3.0m x 1.5m footprint, making it suitable for a wide range of construction applications.
Innovative Design for Enhanced Safety
The Plettac Metrix EasyStair is engineered with both inner and outer guardrails that follow the stair angle, offering unparalleled protection for users. This design ensures greater confidence and security than traditional systems that rely on horizontal outer railings. The inner and outer guardrails provide continuous safety, significantly improving over conventional designs.
Efficiency and Durability
The EasyStair system is a game-changer in efficiency and ease of use. It eliminates the need for bulky platform units by utilising two standard Plettac Metrix 1.5m x 0.3m steel decks or three 1.5m x 0.2m steel decks to create sturdy yet manageable platforms.
The design enhances durability, manual handling, and overall site efficiency. The combination of lightweight aluminium staircases and robust galvanised steel connectors ensures a construction that is both strong and easy to handle.
Customisable Configurations for Every Project
Designed for maximum adaptability, the EasyStair offers a variety of configuration options to suit different project needs. It features front and side exits and full anti-uplift protection throughout the tower.
The system can be configured in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, providing flexibility for diverse site layouts. Additionally, parallel construction with two towers side-by-side can facilitate an efficient “up and down” flow of personnel, streamlining movement and enhancing safety.
