Modular access systems
Stay in control of your project's budget and timeline with a fully modular, industrial strength system with on-site flexibility. Build your custom system in the Kattsafe Builda, get it delivered pre-assembled or flatpacked, and install it yourself with no special equipment required. Compliant access has never been so simple.

Kattsafe steps provide safe and easy access to varying heights including roof areas, service platforms and other elevated areas where frequent access is required. Manufactured to Australian Standard AS/NZS 1657:2018 and available in single and double configurations
Lightweight, high strength systems at a fraction of the cost
Manufactured from high strength aluminium, Kattsafe platforms and stairs are an industrial strength alternative to clunky welded steel products. With less time required to manufacture and no additional engineering needed for most sites, the initial cost of each system is significantly less that other options. And with an impressive strength-to-weight ratio and greater on-site flexibility, they can be installed without special equipment.

Everything you need for a fully compliant access system installed right the first time.

Modular for endless flexibility
Kattsafe platforms and stairs are truly modular with a standard range of components than can be configured in an almost infinite number of ways. With a range of pre-configured systems to choose from, you can make as many modifications as you need to make sure you get a fully compliant system that perfectly suits your needs.

Compliance you can count on
All Kattsafe platform and stair components and base configurations are designed and load tested to meet Australian Standards AS1657-2018 and AS/NZS 1170 and with compliance considerations built into the Kattsafe Builda design program, it's almost impossible to design a non-compliant system.

Straightforward installs, every time
All Kattsafe platform and stair systems are delivered partially assembled and flat-packed for easy installation with no welding special tools or equipment required. With straightforward instructions and unique features, like our variable stair angle brackets, installation is quick and easy with minor modifications being made on-site with no hassle.
