Engineered Fabrications

Industrial stair treads built for secure footing and exact fit

Stair treads are bar grating fabricated specifically for stairway assemblies. Furnished complete with pre-punched carrier plates for direct stringer bolting, slip-resistant nosing, and bar configurations matched to adjoining platforms.

Slip resistance and structural integration

Every tread is manufactured with heavy-duty end plates with standard slotted holes for fast structural alignment. Lead edges incorporate high-visibility nosing profiles designed to prevent slips, while open mesh bars allow rapid dispersion of liquids, grease, and industrial debris.
