STAIR TOWERS
ADVANTAGES OF STAIR TOWERS
RISK REDUCTION
Stair towers serve as a safer alternative to traditional ladders or scaffolding systems.
With their robust, free-standing structure and high load capacity, they significantly reduce the risk of accidents associated with scaffolding or ladder placements.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN
One of the standout features of stair towers is their ergonomic constructional design. Ascending and descending these towers require much less physical effort compared to climbing ladders. Additionally, the ample space they provide enables personnel to move freely, providing a safer and more comfortable working environment.
COST EFFICIENCY
The modular construction allows for quick and straightforward assembly, reducing labor costs and minimising downtime. Their versatility often eliminates the need for separate scaffolding systems, saving both time and resources.

At Safetylyne, we provide tailored solutions that cater to the specific access requirements of every project and client. From concept to implementation, we prioritise safety and efficiency, ensuring a smooth and seamless process. Among these solutions, stair towers are a versatile asset, offering benefits that enhance both workplace safety and productivity.
Safetylyne Access Stair Towers
Safetylyne sets the benchmark in stair tower design and implementation. Their Structural
Aluminium Access Stairs
exemplify innovation and reliability, catering to diverse access requirements on any project.
Proprietary Structural Aluminium Designs
Safetylyne's stair towers boast proprietary designs manufactured from high-quality structural aluminum. This not only ensures exceptional durability but also guarantees non-corrosive properties, prolonging the lifespan of the structures.
Compliance and Integration
Adhering to the AS 1657:2018 standards, Safetylyne's stair towers prioritise safety without compromise. They seamlessly integrate with screen protection systems, providing comprehensive fall prevention measures.
Customisation and Project-Specific Design
Safetylyne understands that every construction project is unique. Their stair towers offer flexibility through project-specific design and engineering, ensuring optimal functionality tailored to the clients’ requirements.
Fast Installation and End-to-End Service
With a modular construction approach, Safetylyne's stair towers can be installed on-site within 1-3 days, expediting project timelines and minimising disruptions. Additionally, Safetylyne offers end-to-end project delivery, providing comprehensive support from concept to installation.
1. Environment and Exposure
- Outdoor, Coastal, or Industrial Sites
âž” Aluminium stair towers are naturally corrosion-resistant and handle harsh conditions without relying on protective coatings. - Indoor or Sheltered Locations
âž” Steel may be considered if exposure to weather and corrosion risks are minimal.
2. Structural Load and Design Flexibility
- When Weight Matters
âž” Aluminium offers significant weight savings, reducing load on rooftops and building structures. This often means fewer design restrictions and easier compliance with building codes. - Heavy-Duty Applications
âž” Steel may be preferred where extremely heavy loads or highly rigid structures are required — though this is less common in typical stair tower installations.
3. Installation Speed and Access Challenges
- Fast, Efficient Installation
âž” Safetylyne aluminium stair towers are designed for quick installation, minimising time on site and reducing disruption. Their lighter weight often eliminates the need for cranes or specialised lifting gear. - Challenging Access or Tight Sites
âž” Aluminium’s light weight and modular assembly make it the practical choice for rooftops, remote locations, and difficult-to-reach areas.
4. Maintenance and Lifespan
- Low-Maintenance Solution
âž” Aluminium requires minimal upkeep. There’s no need for repainting, re-galvanising, or rust management — only routine inspections. - Warranty Confidence
âž” Safetylyne aluminium stair towers come with a 25-year warranty (subject to regular inspections), offering peace of mind and long-term protection. - Steel Maintenance Needs
âž” Steel must be monitored for corrosion and coating damage. Over time, repainting and repairs can significantly increase the system’s total cost.
5. Cost Efficiency Over Time

- Lower Lifetime Costs
âž” While steel may offer a lower upfront material cost, aluminium’s faster installation, lower maintenance needs, and extended service life often deliver better value across the system’s life.
Making the Right Choice
Aluminium stair towers are the clear choice for projects that demand fast installation, minimal maintenance, and reliable performance in all conditions.
For environments where corrosion, access challenges, or long-term costs are considerations, aluminium consistently outperforms.
