Why SafeSmart’s Most Versatile Stair System Is Replacing Ladders on America’s Largest Construction Sites
In the heart of Las Vegas, where billion-dollar projects rise from the desert floor, a new chapter in baseball history is being built. The Las Vegas A’s new stadium, a 9-acre, state-of-the-art facility, is moving full speed ahead on the south end of the Strip. Slated to be one of the most advanced ballparks in the country, it’s already turning heads for more than just its future roster.
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, the project is “on time and on budget,” thanks in large part to Mortenson-McCarthy, the joint-venture construction team behind Allegiant Stadium. Even the A’s players who recently toured the site were impressed; especially when they stood in what will soon be their clubhouse, complete with hydrotherapy pools already poured and ready.
But while the spotlight shines on renderings and concrete milestones, there’s another innovation helping keep the jobsite on track, SafeSmart Access’s AdjustaStairs.
Bringing Safety and Speed to Every Level
As work progresses upward across multiple decks and elevations, access between those levels becomes critical. Traditional ladders can be risky, slow to use, and completely impractical when crews are moving heavy gear or navigating formwork zones.
That’s where AdjustaStairs became a necessity.
Used throughout the Las Vegas A’s stadium jobsite, these adjustable, self-leveling stairs have been deployed to create fast, safe connections between floor slabs, work decks, and grade transitions, without the need for anchoring, welding, or complex scaffolding systems.
Instead of relying on ladders or temporary scaffold stairs, site crews are using AdjustaStairs for slab-to-slab access, giving them:
A faster way to navigate evolving site conditions
A safer alternative to ladders and makeshift ramps
A more flexible, mobile solution that adjusts as the site grows
Full compliance with OSHA standards, with no permanent fixings required
Why More Contractors Are Replacing Ladders with AdjustaStairs
As seen on major stadium builds and infrastructure projects nationwide, AdjustaStairs are quickly becoming the go-to stair system for general contractors and formwork teams that need efficiency without sacrificing safety.
Key features include:
✅ Self-Leveling Treads:
Each tread automatically adjusts to the stair angle, keeping steps level even on sloped or uneven terrain.
✅ Adjustable Height:
Allowing easy setup across varying floor heights.
✅ Lightweight Aluminum Frame:
Tough enough to support a 660lb load, light enough to be moved by two workers.
✅ OSHA Compliant:
Meets U.S. and international safety standards with optional kickboards, fiberglass handrails, and anti-slip treads.
Why This Matters for Projects Nationwide
With the stadium’s massive formwork system growing daily, workers need to move quickly between decks, especially during early-phase construction when site conditions change rapidly.
Ladders, once the go-to solution, simply can’t keep up. They create bottlenecks, require constant repositioning, and increase the risk of falls, especially when hands are full or weather conditions shift.
AdjustaStairs solve that problem, offering an adjustable construction stair system that adapts with the build; whether that’s between pre-cast concrete slabs, steel decks, or temporary site access zones.
This isn’t just a Las Vegas story. From high-rise builds in New York City to transportation hubs in California, AdjustaStairs are becoming a fixture on sites that require fast-paced, high-output construction.
And while each jobsite is different, the benefits remain the same:
Increased productivity by eliminating ladder congestion
Improved jobsite safety through fixed, level treads and handrails
Reduced delays by eliminating scaffold stair teardown/rebuilds
Rapid ROI due to tool-less setup, mobility, and long-term reusability
If it’s good enough for a $1.5 billion MLB stadium, it’s good enough for any commercial or industrial jobsite looking to step up its game.
Ready to Replace Ladders on Your Site?
If you’re still relying on traditional ladders or scaffold stairs to get between decks, you’re already behind. SafeSmart’s AdjustaStairs deliver the reliability, safety, and adaptability today’s job sites require.
