Fixed Stepovers

Safely navigate obstructions on the roof with mini-stepovers

Is your roof or high-traffic work area cluttered with hazardous obstructions? Do you need a simple, cost-effective way to help prevent your workers from tripping and falling over annoying obstacles? Rooftop hazards can include obstacles like piping, conduits, cables, slippery or uneven surfaces, and a change in level. FlexDecks fixed mini-stepovers are a safe way to overcome these obstructions. Easy to assemble and position, they are suitable for all roof types and ground-based or indoor use.

Mini-stepovers are available in three anti-slip tread widths (3 ft., 4 ft., and 5 ft.) and two height clearance options (7.8-in. and 15.7-in.) with freestanding PVC counterweight bases or a bolted fixing option. Custom sizes are also available. Standard models are designed below the height at which OSHA requires a stair railing. (For higher clearances, click here for our FlexDecks fixed crossovers.)

Anti-slip

All FlexDecks fixed stepovers feature anti-slip treads that are self-draining and non-bounce to provide a sure-footed walking surface. They are load-tested to guarantee stability and safety during use. Non-penetrating PVC counterweight bases or flange-bolted options enhance worker safety for rooftop, indoor, or ground-based use.

Robust

Mini-stepovers are constructed of glass-reinforced nylon or anodized aluminum for long-lasting strength and corrosion resistance. They will provide years of trouble-free service even under harsh conditions, such as outdoors or in demanding environments. Nylon treads are fire-rated to Class HB of UL94 and will not present a fire risk.

Modular

FlexDecks fixed stepovers are built from modular components with stair treads in OSHA-specified sizes. This modular design enables us to provide mini-stepovers that fit seamlessly into your workspace. Mini-stepovers are available in standard kits that are easy to install—no welding necessary—and can be repositioned as needed.

Our anti-slip fixed stepovers can be designed to suit any requirement where off-the-shelf step stools are impractical and using boards, cinder blocks, and other off-the-cuff methods is inappropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

They’re perfect for preventing slips and trips over cabling, ductwork, or making short elevation changes to provide unobstructed access rooftop work areas or equipment in industrial settings where larger walkway solutions are impractical.

Often small stepover systems are part of a comprehensive fall protection strategy and although they have a low profile design they feature a non-slip surface and prevent tripping over obstacles. Their main benefit is providing a clear designated path to direct foot traffic safely over electrical and chemical lines, ductwork, PVC and other forms of piping to prevent damage to sensitive or critical systems.
