Standard Parts. Your Layout.

Conveyors, piping and machinery force your team to walk the long way around or climb over. A Vari-Safe crossover gives them a safe, code compliant path over the obstruction. Each system is a set of standard components (stairs, ladders, platforms, turns, tees, legs and guardrail) arranged to fit your space. Tell us what you need to cross and we will send a quote with a drawing.

Features:

• Designed to OSHA 1910 Subpart D for walking-working surfaces
• Passive fall protection, no harness required
• Guardrail on every open side
• Handrails on both sides of every stair
• Grip strut or diamond tread on stairs and platforms
• Perforated rungs on 90° vertical ladders
• Round tube handrail and guardrail
• Bolt-together assembly with supplied 3/8" Grade 8 hardware and hand tools
• Safety yellow or gray finish standard
• Other finishes available, including galvanized
• Optional enclosed risers (diamond tread only)
• Ships as a kit on pallets

Common Layouts:

• Straight - Over a conveyor or other in-plant obstruction
• L-Shaped - Access between two machines
• U-Shaped - Wraps around electrical units and equipment
• Z-Shaped - A safe walkway through rooftop or process piping
• Straight with Tee Exits - Across parallel conveyor lines with more than one way up or down
• Multi-Section Systems - Elevated access across a complex floor plan

Choose Your Tread:

• Grip Strut - Serrated openings grip in every direction and let water, oil and debris drop through. The most common choice for wet or oily areas.
• Diamond Tread - A solid deck with a raised diamond pattern. Nothing falls through to the line below, and it is easy to sweep.

How to Request Your Crossover:

1. Measure your area - Note the height, width and length of what you need to cross. Photos or drawings of the area are helpful.
2. Submit your request - Add this item to your quote and include your layout, tread and finish preferences.
3. Review your quote and drawing - Your quote arrives with a drawing you can hand to maintenance, safety or purchasing.
4. Place your order - Your crossover ships as a kit of standard components, strapped to pallets and ready to assemble.

Add Value for Your Team:

• Code compliant access over conveyors, piping and equipment
• Reconfigurable - the same parts can be rearranged if your floor changes
• Individual components can be replaced if damaged
• Engineering support for odd heights, widths and angled layouts
• Capacities above 1,000 lbs. available as a custom quote
• 3D model available on request with your quote, typically STEP or STL

Crossover Questions:

Is it OSHA compliant?
Yes. Vari-Safe crossover stairs, ladders and guardrail are designed to OSHA 1910 Subpart D for walking-working surfaces. Install and anchor the system per the included instructions to keep it that way.

What if my layout needs something outside the standard parts?
Describe what is different in your request. Odd heights, widths and angled steps or platforms are normal work for our engineering team and are handled as a custom quote.

What are enclosed risers?
They close off the open back of each step so nothing falls between the treads onto a conveyor or anything else below. Most crossovers do not need them. Enclosed risers are available with diamond tread only.

How much does shipping cost?
Include your ship-to address with your request and a freight rate will be added to your quote.

I'm not sure how to measure.
Send photos or drawings of your area with your request and our engineers can lay it out for you.
