Description
The Lapeyre alternating tread stair is a code-compliant replacement for a fixed vertical ladder where there isn't room for a conventional stair. Its patented tread geometry lets you climb and descend facing forward while occupying a fraction of the floor space a standard stair would need. This configuration is built in iron gray powder coated carbon steel with a low profile handrail.
Carbon steel in iron gray powder coat. Same durability as safety yellow with a more neutral appearance for architectural or customer-facing areas.
Low Profile handrail. Handrail extends only 6-3/4" above the top riser, letting the stair fit through a standard 12" roof-hatch curb or under low overhead clearance.
Why an alternating tread stair
- Occupies up to 40% less floor space than a conventional stair at the same rise
- Users climb and descend facing forward — safer and far less fatiguing than a vertical ladder
- Meets OSHA 1910.25 and IBC Industrial requirements, so it can replace a ladder without a variance
- Perforated treads shed liquid and debris for secure footing in wet or oily areas
- 1,000 lb load capacity
- Built to your exact rise and held to 1/8" tolerance — no field cutting or shimming
- Bolt-together assembly, no welding required on site
- Patented design manufactured in the USA since 1981

Important safety note
An alternating tread stair is an access product, not fall-protection equipment. It does not replace guardrails, a fall-arrest system, or a safety gate at the top landing where those are required.
