ADJUSTASTAIRS™
Engineered articulating stair systems for adaptable, site-specific access
AdjustaStairs™ are SafeSmart’s original articulating stair design, developed to provide safe, compliant access across changing elevations, uneven terrain, and complex site conditions. Designed for real-world environments, these systems allow teams to maintain consistent access without site-built stairs or improvised solutions.
What AdjustaStairs Are Designed to Solve
Across industries, stair access is rarely straightforward. Elevations change, surfaces vary, and access needs evolve over time. Fixed stairs, ladders, and site-built solutions often introduce inefficiencies and risk.
- Variable elevations and uneven terrain
- Temporary or evolving access requirements
- Environments where fixed stairs are impractical
- Sites requiring compliant access without permanent construction
- Projects where access must adapt as conditions change
This system exists to remove compromise from stair access—regardless of industry.
The System Explained
AdjustaStairs™ are engineered to adapt to changing elevations without reconfiguration or permanent modification. As the pitch shifts, the articulating design automatically maintains stable, predictable access across varying heights and site conditions.
- Adjusting based on stair length, vertical reach, and approach angle
- Allowing each tread to articulate as the stair pitch changes
- Maintaining a level walking surface throughout the entire stair run
- Distributing load consistently across structural components
- Delivering compliant access without fixed or site-built construction
The result is engineered stair access that adapts through motion rather than fixed geometry.
Real-World AdjustaStairs™ Examples
Floor-To-Floor
AdjustaStairs™ provide safe, predictable stair access between floor levels on active builds where elevations change as construction progresses. The system adapts to varying heights without requiring fixed stairs or site-built solutions.
Slope Access
On uneven terrain or sloped surfaces, AdjustaStairs™ adjust to maintain stable stair access where traditional stairs are impractical. Articulating geometry allows the system to follow site conditions while preserving consistent footing.
Solar Inverters
AdjustaStairs™ are commonly used to access solar inverters and electrical equipment installed at varying pad heights. The system accommodates changing elevations and clearances while supporting safe, repeatable maintenance access.
Truck Stairs
For flatbed trucks and loading areas, AdjustaStairs™ provide stable, compliant stair access that simplifies loading and unloading operations. The adjustable design adapts to varying deck heights while maintaining consistent footing.
Mid-Landings
For access paths that require intermediate landings or extended reach, AdjustaStairs™ can be configured to bridge elevation changes and connect work areas. This enables continuous stair access without breaking the run.

Model Range & Height Capabilities
AdjustaStairs™ are available in standard configurations supporting up to 20 steps and high-access configurations supporting up to 40 steps. High-access models are created by joining two standard AdjustaStairs systems together and reinforcing the connection with an H-Brace, providing added stability when accessing greater heights.
This modular approach allows teams to scale stair access as required, using proven components to reach higher elevations without introducing site-built or improvised solutions.
| Specifications | Standard model | High access model |
|---|---|---|
| Steps | 6 steps to 20 steps | 22 steps to 40 steps |
| Height range | 3' to 16' height range | 11' to 32' height range |
| Weight rating | 660 lbs weight rating | 1,110 lbs weight rating |
| Width | 24", 36" and 48" | 24", 36" and 48" |

Proven Across Industries and Applications
AdjustaStairs™ have been deployed across a wide range of industries and environments, supporting access needs where conditions are rarely fixed and requirements evolve over time. Because the system adapts to varying heights, angles, and layouts, AdjustaStairs are routinely used in construction, industrial facilities, energy and solar projects, aviation and aerospace environments, transportation infrastructure, and specialized maintenance applications.
This broad adoption reflects the system’s ability to perform consistently wherever safe stair access is required—regardless of industry or site conditions.
