Crossover Stairs and Ladders
Crossover Stairs and Ladders: Practical Access Over Obstacles
Crossover stairs and ladders are a dependable solution for creating safe, elevated access across pipes, equipment, and changes in level throughout industrial environments.
Often referred to as crossover platforms, these systems provide hands-free, stable access where routine movement is essential—improving safety, efficiency, and compliance with height access standards.
Designed for durability and ease of installation, they’re ideal for high-traffic areas in plant rooms, manufacturing sites, pipeline corridors, and more..

Industrial Crossover Stairs and Platforms
Safe access across obstacles - without compromise
Safetylyne’s industrial crossover ladders, stairs and platforms are engineered for safe, compliant, and convenient access between different levels or over obstacles on-site. Whether it's pipework, equipment, or uneven surfaces, our crossover systems help maintain workflow efficiency while meeting the highest safety standards.
Key Benefits
- Modular and Easy to Install
Designed as a modular system, our platforms can be rapidly deployed without the need for additional structural support. This makes them ideal for retrofit projects or time-sensitive installations.
- Lightweight Aluminium Construction
Manufactured from mill-finished aluminium and non-corrosive components, the platforms offer long-term durability without adding significant load to the existing structure.
- Customisable Safety Features
Optional cage protection, handrail loops, self-closing gates, and ladder lockout systems provide additional safety and controlled access - especially vital for areas above 3 metres in height.
- Compliant with Australian Standards
Fully tested to meet AS1657:2018 and AS1891.4:2000 standards, including testing by a NATA-accredited laboratory, ensuring confidence in safety and compliance.
- Space-Efficient and Unobtrusive
The low-profile design avoids cluttering your space while still delivering robust protection and access where needed.
Applications
Our crossover stairs, ladders and platforms are designed to solve access challenges in a wide range of industrial settings, including:
- Pipeline Access
Cross over pipework safely without disrupting service or compromising safety. - Plant Rooms Access
Navigate complex equipment layouts with minimal obstruction and full compliance. - Waste Management Facilities Access
Provide safe access across waste chutes, tanks, or sorting equipment. - Manufacturing Facilities
Seamlessly move across production lines, conveyors, and machinery. - Warehousing and Logistics Centres
Ensure safe passage over racking systems, conveyors, or restricted zones. - Chemical Processing Plants
Avoid spills, sensitive equipment, or high-temperature zones with elevated pathways. - Water Treatment Facilities
Access filtration units and control areas while avoiding wet or hazardous surfaces. - Food & Beverage Processing Areas Access
Maintain strict hygiene and safety standards with non-corrosive, easy-to-clean aluminium systems. - Mining & Resource Sites
Create safe walkways around equipment and across uneven terrain in high-risk environments. - Roof Access and Building Maintenance
Improve accessibility across roofs or from one building section to another.

All step bridges and bridge crossovers must comply with Australian Safety Standards, particularly AS/NZS 1657, which governs the safety of walkways, platforms, stairs, and ladders.
These regulations set requirements for safe clearances, slope, load rating, handrails, and anti-slip surfaces - ensuring every bridge crossover provides secure and compliant access across pipes, conveyors, or service areas in industrial environments.
