Side Access Trailer Steps offer a straightforward, safe way to access side-opening trailers during loading and unloading tasks. Commonly used in logistics, retail, and warehousing operations, these mobile steps improve safety and speed on site. With a gradual 45° incline and integrated handrails, they allow users to mount and dismount trailers without awkward lifting or risk of falls.
Each unit is manufactured from heavy-duty steel and fitted with swivel castors and locking brakes for secure positioning. All models are rated to carry loads up to 300kg and include protective chains across the step openings to minimise fall risks during operation. Whether you’re lifting cages, pallets, or stock by hand, these steps reduce physical strain and support safer material transfer at height.
- Available in 1.3m to 6.0m platform lengths – Suits multiple trailer types and access needs.
- Fixed safety chains at entry points – Reduces the risk of falling when in use.
- 45-degree incline access – Easier ascent and descent compared to vertical ladders.
- Galvanised upgrade available – Improves corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
- Optional rubber wheels and swing-out stabilisers – Adds extra safety and site adaptability.
The access steps are offered in four standard platform lengths—1.3m, 3.0m, 5.0m and 6.0m—each with consistent platform height (1300mm) and overall height (2300mm). This modular approach ensures the unit can align with a wide range of trailer types while providing stable footing and working space for multiple operatives.
All HERMEQ steps are made from prime-grade steel, powder-coated for durability and available with additional galvanisation for outdoor exposure. Side entry points are fitted with safety chains as standard. The mobile steps can also be adapted to unique height, width, or trailer alignment specifications.
HERMEQ stocks a wide range of Ramps, Handling Equipment, Mobile Access Steps & Unloading & Access Platforms conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.
