Crossovers with alternating tread stairs
OSHA-compliant crossovers for applications with space restrictions.
Dimensions and specifications

![]() |
Stair SLOPE of either 56° or 68° from the horizontal §1910.25(f) |
![]() |
TREADS are at least 8½ inches deep with open risers and at least 7 inches wide at the leading edge §1910.25(f)(3), §1910.25(f)(4), §1910.25(f)(5) |
![]() |
FALL PROTECTION system with less than 19 inches between horizontal mid-rails OSHA §1910.29(b)(2) |
The overall dimensions of ❶ height, ❷ width and ❸ length must fit within the amount of space that is available to install the crossover system. If you have enough room to install a crossover system with standard stairs, that is the OSHA-preferred solution.
The platform ❹ length and ❺ stair height are determined by the dimensions of the obstacle. These measurements are used to calculate the overall dimensions of the crossover system.

Standard options for list price systems
✔ Carbon steel with safety yellow, iron gray, or gray primer powder coat finish
✔ 56° or 68° degree alternating tread stairs
✔ Carbon steel with safety yellow, iron gray, or gray primer powder coat finish
✔ Diamond plate platform decking
✔ OSHA-compliant 42" high guardrails constructed of 1½ inch round tubing
✔ Crossover bracing kit
✔ All assembly hardware
Additional options are also available
✔ Carbon steel with custom powder coat colors
✔ Carbon steel with hot-dip galvanized finish
✔ Grade 304 stainless steel
✔ 68° aluminum alternating tread stairs
✔ Back pans for stairs
✔ Safety gates
✔ Additional stair heights and platform sizes
✔ Varying stair heights
✔ Additional platform decking and configurations




Crossover bracing kit
Crossovers with alternating tread stairs require bracing to prevent swaying. The bracing kit for these systems includes stainless steel brackets and hardware for the upper and lower connections plus custom tubing in the same material and finish as your crossover system.
We need the following information to calculate bracing specifications. Contact us for assistance with determining the optimal spread and brace angles for your system.
✔ Dimensions of obstacles surrounding the system
✔ Optimal spread angle (0° to 20° for 56° stairs; 0° to 10° for 68° stairs)
✔ Optimal brace angle (20° to 30° from the vertical plane)
The cost of the bracing kit is included in the list price for crossovers with alternating tread stairs. Subtract $303.91 from the list price if you will provide your own bracing for the system.

Optional accessories for crossovers with alternating tread stairs

Safety gates
Safety gates provide additional security at the top of alternating tread stairs. They attach to the platform rails with reversible hinges and provide a 180° gate swing.
$319.10/gate: Carbon steel with standard powder coat colors
$329.75/gate: Carbon steel with hot-dip galvanized finish
$600.20/gate: Grade 304 stainless steel with mill finish

Backpans
Minimize the risk of damage to workers and equipment beneath your crossover system by adding backpans to the alternating tread stairs. Backpans bolt under the stairs to form a solid barrier behind the treads that spans the height of the stair and provides protection from falling objects.
Pricing for backpans is based on the stair height.
