Structural Stair Treads

Abrasive cast metal

* LONGEST WEARING
* IMPACT REISTANT
* ANTI-SLIP SURFACE
* ECONOMICAL

American Safety Tread structural stair treads and platforms
are in use daily throughout the United States. The anti-slip
granules embedded in the walking surface create a positive
traction system that lasts for the life of the stairway.

Several designs are self-supporting, requiring no risers or
bracing. Other designs are installed with carrier angles and
risers. The choices are many.

When a heavy duty commuter stairway or industrial
stairway is the design project, structural castings by American
Safety Tread will provide the safety required by OSHA.


LONGEST WEARING: Effective anti-slip protection is
guaranteed for the life of the stairway.


IMPACT RESISTANT: The alloys used in the manufacture
of these cast structural treads and platforms create highly
impact-resistant treads to accommodate heavy interior and
exterior use.


ANTI-SLIP SURFACE: Whether wet or dry these treads
afford maximum protection against slipping hazards. The

proper blend of abrasive granules embedded in the exposed
walking surface assures secure traction under foot.

ECONOMICAL: Available in four metals, these cast structural
treads and platforms are the most economical on the market.
Our advanced manufacturing equipment and special
American Safety Tread molding process assure the lowest
cost per unit.
