Mini Step-Over Kits

Mini Step-Over Kits for Cable Trays and Low Trip Hazards

Mini step-over kits take people safely over trip hazards: cable trays, low-level pipework and other low obstacles on roofs and floors. Choose a height clearance of 200mm or 400mm, a length of 3, 4 or 5 treads, and freestanding or fixed. That gives twelve kits, all listed to EN 516 Class 1-C and all suitable for any flat surface.

All twelve kits are held in stock, with next-day delivery on stock orders, and arrive partially assembled with full instructions. Send us the obstacle height and the distance to cross and we will confirm the kit and quote within one hour during working hours.

Clearances are as listed on each product page. Check both figures against your obstacle before you order.

How to Read the Kit Codes

• STMFS is freestanding. STMFX is fixed.
• The first three digits are the height clearance: 200 or 400 (mm).
• The last digit is the number of treads: 3, 4 or 5.

So an STMFS2004 is a freestanding kit with 200mm clearance and 4 treads, and an STMFX4005 is a fixed kit with 400mm clearance and 5 treads.

How They Are Made

Mini kits combine galvanised steel, aluminium extrusion and reinforced nylon treads, so they need little maintenance outdoors. Each kit arrives partially assembled and flat packed, with full assembly instructions, and is quick to put together on site.

Freestanding or Fixed

Freestanding (STMFS) models stand on two 26kg base weights, so they fit without penetrating the roof surface. Use them on membrane roofs and anywhere you can't drill.

Fixed (STMFX) models use galvanised steel flanges as feet, for surfaces you can bolt down to.

Both suit any flat surface.

Choosing the Right Mini Kit

1. Clearance. Measure the obstacle at its highest point and compare it with the listed clearance of the kit. Where obstacles on the same roof vary, you can mix 200mm and 400mm kits, as Wates Construction did at Coundon Court School.
2. Length. Measure the distance you need to cross and compare it with the second listed figure for each kit. More treads give a longer crossing.
3. Freestanding or fixed. Freestanding if you can't penetrate the surface. Fixed if you can bolt down.
4. Bigger obstacle? For pipework, plant and level changes from 600mm to 1400mm high, see standard step-over kits. For anything in between or out of the ordinary, send us the measurement or see bespoke step-overs.

In Use: Coundon Court School

On a new building at Coundon Court School in Coventry, cable trays and other obstructions blocked the maintenance route across the roof. Our team identified twelve places where a safe crossing was needed and recommended mini step-overs. Wates Construction used twelve of them, in both 200mm and 400mm clearances, to give a clear route over the cable trays. All the components were stocked and ready to ship. Read the Coundon Court case study.

Where Mini Step-Overs Are Used

• Roofs with cable trays crossing the maintenance route.
• Low-level pipework on roofs and in plant areas.
• Floors inside buildings where cables or low services cross a walkway.

On a roof they work alongside roof edge protection and skylight guardrails.

How to Order

1. Measure the obstacle height and the distance you need to cross.
2. Pick 200mm or 400mm clearance and 3, 4 or 5 treads.
3. Choose freestanding or fixed.
4. Count how many crossings the route needs.
5. Request a quote or call 01905 779944. We reply within one hour in working hours.

Mini Step-Over Kit Questions

What clearances do mini step-overs come in?

200mm and 400mm height clearance, each in 3, 4 or 5 tread lengths. The full listed clearance for each kit is on its product page.

What is the difference between freestanding and fixed?

Freestanding models stand on two 26kg base weights and do not penetrate the surface. Fixed models use galvanised steel flanges as feet.

Can I use mini step-overs over cable trays on a roof?

Yes. That is what they are for. At Coundon Court School twelve mini step-overs in 200mm and 400mm clearances created a maintenance route over cable trays.

Which standard are they listed to?

Mini step-over kits are listed to EN 516 Class 1-C.

What are they made from?

Galvanised steel, aluminium extrusion and reinforced nylon treads.

How are they delivered?

Partially assembled and flat packed, with full assembly instructions.

What if my obstacle is taller than 400mm?

Standard step-over kits cover obstacles from 600mm to 1400mm. For anything else, send us the measurement and we will advise on a bespoke step-over.
