More about Generation Stair Tower

The Generation Stair Tower is Altrad Generation's purpose-built scaffold staircase system, providing safe, speedy access to the working level through a series of 800mm wide Stairways. Where ladder access creates delays at shift start and during breaks, the Generation Stair Tower keeps operatives moving, ensuring immediate access without time lost waiting.

Fully galvanised throughout, the system features expanded steel stair treads and landings for a safe, slip-resistant surface. Handrails are automatically positioned at the correct height for safe and convenient use, and the tower can be erected as a standalone structure or integrated directly into other scaffolding or staging.
