Bolt-Together vs Welded Steel Stairs – Pros, Cons and Cost
Choosing the Right Steel Stair System for Your Facility When facility managers and project engineers plan industrial access installations, the first major decision comes down
Mechano Max designs and manufactures custom modular access work platforms for industrial facilities across Canada. Our bolt-together steel access work platforms install in hours with no welding, permits, or hot-work delays, giving your crews safe, code-compliant access wherever they need it.
We typically gets back to you within 1-2 business days.
Unlimited options for access to any application make it easier, safer and faster to get to the job and get it done. Our platforms deliver a superior work environment for people, tools and equipment. Custom designing your solution means that if you need it, we can build it. Any feature for any application.
And of course the entire process from design, build, shipment and assembly is simple, fast, and unmatched in the industry.
At Mechano Max we are committed to improving your productivity, improving your safety and controlling your costs. Pair your access platform with our modular steel stairs and walkways for a complete access solution, or browse our project case studies to see how we have delivered results across Canadian industrial facilities.
Need to lift heavy or bulky equipment or supplies?
We can include hoist or pulley attachments that can handle heavy loads and repeated use. For complete elevated access, pair your platform with our modular steel stairs and walkways to create a full-access system.
Ideal for rooftops and gravel surfaces.
When you need to spread the load and keep it stable our designers have a range of easy options including rubber block feet. Complete your rooftop setup with our electrical and instrument supports for integrated cable management and panel mounting.
Lighting supports can improve the safety and use of any application. Our mounting systems are fast and easy to install and ship prefinished in galvanised
Handrails, kickplate and gratings can be removed for increased access when servicing equipment or performing repairs or replacement. Removing components is quick and easy. Once completed, they are bolted back in place, re-torqued and fully safe.
Custom solutions integrating the features you need without the hassle, costs and delays of welding. Our engineering and design process ensures every platform is built precisely to your specifications.
Making it easier to do the job with stable, safe platforms that precisely fit the application improve efficiency and profit while minimizing expense and production delays.
Improving efficiency for your application by simplifying workflow.
Making it easier and safer to do every step in the job is key to improving profit and protecting workers. See how our platforms solved access challenges in our congested spaces case study—designed for complex, tight industrial environments where standard solutions fall short.
Powder coating benefits many applications like food and beverage production. Components are individually powder coated in the shop to retain the full range of adjustability and ease of assembly. This gives you complete control over colours and composition to perfectly fit any application.
Safety should never be an after thought for any application. Our system and features make it easy to solve the challenges while building in critical safety features right from the design stage. Discover why Canadian industrial facilities choose Mechano Max for bolt-together access solutions.

We engineer every access work platform to your exact load, from light maintenance access to heavy equipment platforms, with engineer-stamped drawings that meet the National Building Code of Canada (NBC 2020).
Yes. Our access work platforms meet the National Building Code of Canada (NBC 2020) for guardrails, platform width, toe boards, and non-slip surfaces, and ship with engineer-stamped drawings.
No. Access work platforms bolt together on site in hours with basic tools, so there is no welding and no hot-work permit delays.
Yes. Our platforms are adjustable and relocatable, so you can reconfigure or move them as your facility changes without re-engineering from scratch.
Because our systems are pre-engineered and bolt together, lead times are short and installation takes hours, not weeks. Contact us for a timeline on your project.
