Craftsmanship

Engineering Heavy-Duty Performance

Structural Steel Frame
The load-bearing frame, including columns, platforms, and cross-bracing, is fabricated from structural steel. Stair treads and safety screens are precision bolt-in components engineered for strength and field serviceability.
Marine Black Enamel Finish
As standard, every frame is primed with red oxide primer and painted with a marine black enamel. Hot-dip galvanizing is available to protect steel in coastal environments.
Contractor Ready
Delivered fully assembled to school campuses or construction sites, then crane-set and installed as part of our turnkey scope.
