The top of all rooftop crossovers

Roof surfaces can be extremely dangerous places to work, but not if Kee Step^® is installed. It provides a safe, anti-slip, level walking surface to access areas of the roof and to safely walk across it. Step sections are adjustable and can be used on sloped roofs too. Added to this, it also protects the roof sheet from foot traffic.

Why do you need Kee Step^® Rooftop Crossovers?

Safe Rooftop Access

Our custom-built solutions will be tailored to meet the specific needs of your individual rooftop surface and provide a safe route over pipework, HVAC and other rooftop obstructions. Everything is engineered to meet OH&S safety standards and designed for maximum durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

General

- How do the Kee Step Rooftop Crossovers Ship?
  
  Standard crossovers ship with cut pipe, fittings, and tread assemblies palletized and shrink-wrapped. Crossovers can ship with the stair sets fully assembled for an additional fee. Most customers prefer to have the stairs shipped unassembled for easier roof loading.
- How do I keep the base of the crossover from damaging the roof?
  
  Crossovers can be designed with rubber Kee Guard bases upon request. However, a simple slip-sheet below the base is typically sufficient enough to protect the roof membrane. We always recommend consulting your roofing company for proper slip sheets.
- How do I assemble Kee Step Rooftop Crossovers?
  
  A full set of step-by-step assembly instructions are available in our download section below.
- What is the tallest stair system I can build using Kee Step Rooftop Crossovers?
  
  We recommend a max height of 10' for the Kee Step Rooftop Crossover. If you need a higher stair system please call one of our experts to help solve the problem.
- How wide is the Kee Step Rooftop Crossover?
  
  Standard width is 2' but our design team can provide custom width crossovers upon request.
- I need 2 different stair heights, is this possible?
  
  Yes, just let our team know the height of each side of the crossover and the length of the bridge required and we will provide you with the perfect solution.
