Commercial Stair Features
As the manufacturer, we can design commercial stairs to your specifications… however unique. Because units are prefabricated and bolt together, stairs come ready to install without the need for special tools or equipment.
Easy Installation
Our commercial stairs are modular and bolt together.
Code Compliant
Our commercial stairs comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and International Building Code (IBC) and can meet local building codes.
Reconfigurable
Because the APEX System is modular, ramps, stairs and railings can be reused, added to, and reconfigured as your needs change.
Modular Design
Modular commercial stairs, platform landings, legs, and handrails bolt together without any on-site welding.
Custom Layouts
Our team of engineers will design a stair configuration layout just for you, and professional engineer stamps are available.
Leveling Legs
Platform legs have 8” of adjustability for uneven ground or ongoing adjustments.
100% Aluminum – Long Lasting
The entire line of APEX products will never rust, warp, or rot. Components are low maintenance and will last much longer than wood or steel.
HPD/LEED/ESG
Prefabricated systems are typically made with 6061 and 6063 aluminum alloys containing ≥99% and ≥50% recycled content. Some prefabricated systems can help contribute to several LEED v4.1 credits and other green building rating systems.
Slip-Resistant Decking
APEX stairs are standard with an aggressive, heavy-duty 3” channel grip strut grating that provides maximum, multi-directional slip resistance. Other decking options are available.
