StockMaster Step-Thru Platform – Safe, Stable Access for Every Task

When working at height, safety and stability should never be compromised. The StockMaster Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform is designed to make elevated access safer, simpler, and more efficient — whether you’re loading trucks, entering containers, or stepping onto mezzanine floors. Built for all terrains and tested to international safety standards, this platform eliminates the need for risky practices like climbing or jumping from vehicles or using unstable step ladders.

This versatile Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform is trusted across transport, logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, and facilities maintenance for its proven combination of safety, mobility, and long service life.

Why Choose the Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform?

The Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform is more than a ladder — it’s a complete access solution engineered for modern Australian workplaces. With two large-diameter wheels and a single control for steering and braking, it moves easily over sealed or unsealed surfaces and gentle slopes. This makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor use, including warehouses, loading bays, workshops, and construction sites.

A single control lever raises the unit into mobile position and provides positive, easy steering. Once released, the Step-Thru automatically locks into stationary mode, engaging the brakes for total stability. This intuitive operation prioritises safety while maintaining speed and efficiency.

Safe and Stable Access — Every Time

A standout feature of the StockMaster Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform is its stable stepping-off platform. Instead of climbing onto or jumping down from trucks or containers, users can step confidently from platform to surface. Two side safety rails provide secure handholds, ensuring three-point contact at all times.

This design significantly reduces the risk of slips, trips, and falls — among the leading causes of workplace injuries in Australia. By using the Step-Thru, companies can reduce lost-time injuries and compensation claims, improving both safety and productivity.

Built to Last — Quality You Can Rely On

Every Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform is built from high-quality materials designed to withstand demanding industrial conditions. With reasonable care, it will provide many years of reliable service. Each unit is tested to a 150 kg load rating and meets or exceeds multiple international safety standards, including:

• AS/NZS 1892.1:1996 (Australia/New Zealand)

• ANSI-ASC A14.2-2007 (United States)

• EN 131: Parts 1 and 2 (European Union)

This ensures every model delivers consistent strength, stability, and performance.

Applications of the Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform

1. Transport Vehicle and Container Access

The Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform is ideal for truck and container access. Its ability to operate over uneven or unsealed surfaces makes it perfect for warehouse yards, logistics depots, and freight operations. Operators can position it beside a vehicle and step safely onto the deck, maintaining full stability and control throughout the process.

2. Mezzanine Access

For facilities with mezzanine levels, the Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform provides safe, flexible access without the need for fixed stairs. It’s especially useful for sites that require mobile or temporary solutions. However, it’s not suitable for use directly against a wall — for that, the StockMaster Mezzalad is recommended.

3. Maintenance and Facility Access

From industrial maintenance to retail and hospitality environments, Step-Thru delivers secure, quick access to elevated areas for inspection, servicing, and installation tasks. Its compact footprint and mobility make it suitable for routine maintenance, light repair work, and accessing equipment at moderate heights.

All-Terrain Performance

The Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform features a two-wheel footprint that allows smooth movement across a wide range of surfaces — from polished concrete to asphalt and compacted gravel. Whether indoors or outdoors, on sealed or unsealed terrain, Step-Thru performs consistently. Large wheels and balanced weight distribution make it easy to handle on slight slopes or uneven ground.

Simple, Intuitive Operation

Unlike traditional ladders or scaffolds, the Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform requires no setup time. The operator simply engages the control to raise it into mobile mode, moves it into position, then releases the control to lock it securely in place. Once stationary, it’s fully braked and stable — no wheel chocks or manual locks required. This efficiency saves time and ensures every move is made safely.

Workplace Safety and Compliance

Workplace health and safety compliance is at the core of the Step-Thru’s design. By providing secure footing, stable stepping, and continuous hand support, it aligns with Safe Work Australia’s fall-prevention guidelines and AS/NZS ladder standards.

It’s the perfect replacement for unsafe practices such as:

• Using standard ladders to access elevated areas

• Jumping between truck decks or mezzanine floors

• Standing on makeshift steps or pallets

By switching to a Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform, businesses can instantly improve compliance, reduce risk, and demonstrate their commitment to a safe work environment.

Selecting the Right Step-Thru Model

Choosing the correct model and height depends on your operating environment and application. Consider:

• Surface type: Step-Thru performs best on sealed, unsealed, or gently sloped surfaces.

• Space: It needs side room for steering and may not suit tight, confined areas.

• Access height: Always select a platform height that allows a step-down from the accessed surface — never step up.

• Overhead clearance: Check for low beams or doorways that could restrict movement.

Step-Thru: The Smarter Access Solution

The StockMaster Step-Thru Mobile Access Platform redefines how safe access is achieved in industrial and commercial settings. With all-terrain mobility, an intuitive one-control system, and full compliance with international safety standards, it’s the smarter, safer alternative to traditional ladders.
