A stair tower is a temporary staircase for a jobsite. Instead of crews climbing ladders with tools in hand, they walk up real stairs with handrails and landings. It speeds up a project, cuts fatigue, and gives a safe, fast way out in an emergency. On multi-story construction, events, and industrial shutdowns, a stair tower is often the main path up and down.
Why a stair tower beats a ladder
Ladders are slow and they tie up a hand. A worker carrying a bucket up a ladder has one point of contact instead of three. A stair tower fixes that: crews carry materials, move faster, and stay safer. On a busy site the time saved on trips up and down pays for the tower on its own. It also gives inspectors and other trades a clean, obvious route through the work.
Built to code, sized to the site
Each flight gets a landing, a handrail on both sides, and consistent riser heights so the climb feels like a real staircase. We build the tower to the height you need, add intermediate landings on tall runs, and tie it to the structure or set it free-standing depending on the site. Stair towers integrate with a stationary scaffold as its access route, or stand alone as pure egress.
Where stair towers go
Construction sites use them as the primary climb during framing and finish. Stadiums, concerts, and film sets use them for crew and talent access, tied into special event scaffolding. Industrial plants use them during turnarounds when crews need fast, repeatable access to equipment up high. Every stair tower ships inspected, tagged, and ready for foot traffic. Proper stairs are also a core part of safe access and egress.

Stair Tower, FAQs
What is a stair tower?
It is a temporary staircase built from scaffold components that gives crews and materials safe access between jobsite levels, with landings and handrails instead of ladders.
Why use a stair tower instead of a ladder?
Stairs are faster and safer. Workers keep both hands for materials, move quickly, and have a clear emergency exit. On busy multi-story sites the saved trips justify the tower.
Can a stair tower be part of a larger scaffold?
Yes. Stair towers commonly serve as the access route for a stationary scaffold, or they stand alone as dedicated egress. We tie them in or set them free-standing to suit the site.
How tall can a stair tower be?
We build to the height your site needs, adding intermediate landings on tall runs to keep the climb safe and code-compliant.
