New PERI UP Stair System Launched in UK After Global Debut

PERI’s latest addition to its scaffolding range, the PERI UP Public Stairs system, is now available in the UK, offering a compliant and flexible solution for safe public access at construction sites and events.

PERI has announced the UK rollout of its new PERI UP Public Stairs system, a modular stair solution aimed at improving public access in high-footfall areas such as infrastructure projects, building sites, and event venues.

Unveiled at the bauma 2025 trade fair in Germany earlier this year, the system is designed to offer safe, rapid assembly and user-friendly access routes in locations where pedestrian safety and adaptability are critical. Built on the existing PERI UP Flex scaffolding framework, the Public Stairs use just seven additional components and comply with UK SG4 and European standards.

Matthew Binder, National Product Manager at PERI UK, said the system was developed in response to evolving site requirements: “Today’s projects – whether infrastructure or events – demand flexible solutions that can adapt quickly without compromising safety.”

The stairs support loads of up to 7.5 kN/m², making them suitable for large crowds. Key safety features include system-integrated handrails, anti-slip surfaces, gravity locks, and height-adjustable components aimed at enhancing both user safety and on-site efficiency.

The system is intended for use in a range of scenarios:

  • On construction sites, it can serve as secondary access around building works or in multi-storey refurbishments.

  • In infrastructure projects, such as rail upgrades, it provides a secure way for pedestrians to navigate around ongoing work.

  • In event settings, such as festivals or sports tournaments, the structure offers a stable and clearly defined path through complex venues.

According to PERI, the modular design reduces setup times and labour needs for contractors, while offering the public a more stable and accessible alternative to temporary walkways.

The launch of the Public Stairs marks a further expansion of the PERI UP scaffolding system, which is widely used for façade works, stair towers, shoring, and temporary roofing. The new addition is expected to appeal to UK contractors and event organisers seeking compliance without delay or disruption.

Mr Binder added, “We believe the Public Stairs will become the go-to solution for any project that demands fast, safe, and user-friendly public access.”

The system is now available for deployment across the UK.
