Description
Steel platform steps from Ramsay Ladders give you a secure, hands-free working position at height, built for the rigours of daily warehouse, industrial, and commercial use. Manufactured in the UK, these platform steps are built for durability and long service life across warehouse, industrial, and commercial settings.
Platform heights in our range run from 0.75 m to 3.75 m, with a choice of step configurations and tread options to suit your required working height and environment, with every model manufactured in the UK to high performance standards. We also manufacture unique Galvanised Steel Platforms, providing a bullet-proof access solution that will withstand the elements
Why Choose Steel Platform Steps?
Steel platform steps offer a robust, hard-wearing alternative to stepladders and aluminium platforms where maximum strength and load capacity are priorities. The generous platform gives you room to stand comfortably and work with both hands free, reducing fatigue and improving productivity, even during extended shifts. For lighter-duty applications, see our podium steps range.
Our range is suited to a variety of applications:
- Warehousing & distribution – safe, mobile access to racking, shelving, and mezzanine levels. See also our dedicated warehouse steps range.
- Vehicle loading & unloading – dedicated vehicle access steps for safe boarding and inspection.
- Production & manufacturing – reliable access for inspection, maintenance, and assembly work at height.
- Archive & stock rooms – stable platforms for retrieval and inventory tasks.
Platform heights in our range run from 0.75 m to 3.75 m, with a choice of step configurations and tread options to suit your required working height and environment.

Need Help Choosing?
If you're unsure which steel platform steps are right for your requirements, our friendly team is happy to help with practical advice on platform height, load capacity, and suitability for your working environment.
What are steel platform steps?
Steel platform steps are freestanding or mobile access platforms manufactured from heavy-duty steel. They feature a broad standing platform, handrails, and anti-slip treads, providing a stable and secure working position at height for warehouse, industrial, and commercial applications. Browse our full range of platform steps and podium steps.
What are the advantages of steel platform steps?
Steel platform steps offer superior strength and rigidity compared to aluminium alternatives, making them ideal for heavy-duty environments with frequent use. Galvanised models add corrosion resistance for outdoor or damp conditions. The fixed platform design allows you to work hands-free for longer periods with reduced fatigue.
Are steel platform steps suitable for warehouse use?
Yes. Our steel platform steps are widely used in warehouses and distribution centres, providing safe mobile access to racking and shelving at height. Models are available with rubber wheels and locking mechanisms to allow easy repositioning while preventing unintended movement during use.
What is the difference between steel and aluminium platform steps?
Steel platform steps offer greater strength and load capacity, making them the preferred choice for heavy-duty industrial and warehouse environments. Aluminium platform steps are lighter and easier to reposition, suiting applications where portability is a higher priority. The best choice depends on your working environment and how frequently the steps will be used.
Do you offer galvanised steel platform steps?
Yes. We offer galvanised steel platform steps, providing enhanced corrosion protection for outdoor use or environments where moisture is present. Galvanisation extends the service life of the steps and reduces ongoing maintenance.
Are steel platform steps safe?
Steel platform steps are safe when selected correctly for the required working height and used in line with safe working practices. Features such as handrails, guardrails, anti-slip treads, and wheel-locking mechanisms are designed to minimise risk. As with all access equipment, stable ground and correct use are essential.
Are your steel platform steps manufactured in the UK?
Yes. Our steel platform steps are manufactured in the UK, maintaining consistent standards of quality and construction across the range. At Ramsay Ladders, we have been manufacturing access equipment in the UK since 1946, a heritage that underpins our commitment to build quality and product reliability.
