Ascent step units provide simple access solutions to complex access issues. We manufacture a range of step units in both mild steel and aluminium to clear obstructions such as pipework, ducting, parapet walls, gutters, cable trays and changes in roof level. The issues we overcome may be complex but our aim has been to create a simple “flat pack” step unit solution.
