Supply and Installation of Custom Industrial Stairs
Advantages and strengths
Based in Montreal, serving Quebec and Ontario, Échelle Canada supports factories, industrial sites, warehouses, municipalities, and private businesses in the design, manufacturing, and installation of custom industrial stairs. Our access stairs, catwalks, and technical platforms meet the strictest Quebec, Ontario, and Canadian standards:
National Fire Code of Canada (NFC) fire safety and egress routes
Ontario Building Code (OBC) / Quebec Construction Code vertical circulation and secure access
CSA B651 guardrails and handrails
CSA S157 aluminum structures and installations
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards for industrial access
Use
Échelle Canada designs, manufactures, and installs custom industrial stairs for production facilities, warehouses, rooftop mechanical areas, and infrastructure across Quebec and Ontario. Every project is carried out in strict compliance with current standards -- the National Fire Code, the Quebec Construction Code, the Ontario Building Code, and CSA B651/S157 standards for guardrails and aluminum structures. All dimensions -- tread depth, riser height, passage width, load capacity, clearances -- are precisely calculated according to mandatory criteria and site constraints, ensuring a safe, durable, and fully compliant access solution.
Applications: Your Turnkey Project, from Design to Installation
We manage your entire industrial stair project from start to finish:
Site Assessment & Measurements
We analyze your site constraints, intended use of the stair (daily access, maintenance, emergency egress), load requirements, and climate conditions.
Layout Consulting & Technical File
Our specialists prepare a complete technical package: vertical circulation, tread depth, riser height, guardrails, platforms, clearances, structural load capacity...
Aluminum and Galvanized Steel Manufacturing
Our industrial stairs are engineered to withstand Quebec and Ontario climate conditions (freeze-thaw cycles, snow, road salt, corrosion), ensuring durability, light weight, and code compliance.
On-Site Installation
Our technicians ensure safe installation, fully compliant with occupational health and safety and building codes. Benefit from a single point of contact from design through delivery.
