Industrial stairs & landings
Weld Rich & Steel fabricates and installs custom steel stairs and landings for warehouses, factories, commercial buildings and industrial facilities across Toronto and the GTA.
From mezzanine access stairs to exterior steel staircases and industrial platforms, we build durable steel stair systems to suit your facility and project requirements.
Every commercial and industrial building has different access requirements. A warehouse mezzanine, an exterior entrance and an equipment platform each need a stair layout that fits the space and how it will be used.
Weld Rich & Steel fabricates steel stair systems for contractors, facility managers, warehouse operators and commercial property owners across Toronto and the GTA from our Concord location.
Our focus is practical, durable steel construction for everyday access. Send your drawings, site dimensions and installation requirements so we can review the fabrication and installation scope.
Industrial stair & landing systems
We fabricate and install custom steel staircases and landings for commercial and industrial applications. Our work includes new installations, replacement stair systems and project-specific modifications to existing steel access layouts.
Custom steel staircases and stair towers for multi-level access in warehouses, factories and commercial facilities. Support arrangements and connections follow the project design.
Steel stair systems for outdoor commercial and industrial access. Plan the tread surface, drainage and protective finish for the exposure and site conditions.
Steel stairs for warehouse mezzanines, storage levels, inspections and elevated maintenance areas. Coordinate the route, landings and guards with the facility layout.
Custom stairs and landings for equipment platforms and industrial work areas, including interior access systems fitted to the available space.
Fabricated landings and intermediate platforms for level changes, rest points and changes in direction, coordinated with the stair flights and supporting steel.
Project-specific replacement stairs, retrofits and modifications for facility upgrades or unusual layouts. Existing conditions and structural suitability need review before fabrication.
Materials & Styles
Industrial steel stairs use structural steel components selected for the size, application and requirements of the project. Systems may include steel stringers, fabricated treads, landings, support frames and integrated guardrails.
Painted steel, powder coating or galvanizing may be suitable depending on the installation environment. Tread surfaces, coatings and connection details should be specified before fabrication.
These are material, surface and finish options for scope discussion. Suitability, dimensions, loads, slip resistance and coating requirements must be confirmed for the project. Indoor and outdoor use shown below is subject to the specified coating system and exposure.
| Material / Profile Type | Application | Key Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| HSS Stringers (Square / Rectangular) | Primary stair stringers | Hollow sections sized for the specified loads and connections |
| Plate Steel Stringers | Heavy-duty stair systems | Plate thickness and geometry selected for the stair design |
| C-Channels & Angles | Secondary framing and supports | Channels and angles sized for the support arrangement |
| Custom Welded Assemblies | Non-standard stair layouts | Fabricated to project drawings for precise fit |
| Tread / Surface Type | Typical Use | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Checker Plate Steel Treads | Interior & exterior stairs | Raised-pattern steel surface; confirm slip resistance for the conditions |
| Open Steel Grating | Industrial & exterior applications | Open surface allows drainage; confirm opening and loading requirements |
| Bar Grating Landings | Mechanical rooms & service stairs | Open grating sized for the specified span and loads |
| Concrete-Filled Steel Pan Treads | Commercial interiors | Reduced noise and enhanced durability |
| Finish Type | Indoor | Outdoor | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Shop Primer | Yes | Limited | Temporary corrosion protection during installation |
| Powder Coating | Yes | Yes | Durable finish suitable for high-visibility areas |
| Hot-Dip Galvanizing | Yes | Yes | Zinc coating for corrosion protection; confirm detailing and exposure |
| High-Performance Epoxy Coatings | Yes | Yes | Coating system selected for the specified chemicals and wear |
Confirm the fabrication specification
Provide the required steel grades, stringer and tread details, support brackets, connection plates, finish and inspection requirements. Where CSA G40.21 material requirements or CSA W59 welding requirements are specified, confirm the applicable grade, edition and documentation with the project designer.
Company certification, individual welder qualifications and welding procedures are separate requirements. Ask us to confirm current records for your project. Engineering design, structural assessment and approval remain with the responsible professional engineer.
Key considerations
Commercial and industrial steel stair systems need to suit their intended use, building conditions and applicable safety requirements. Stair dimensions, structural support, treads, landings, handrails, guards and connection details all affect the design.
We fabricate steel stair systems to the agreed project specifications. The responsible designer should confirm the applicable Ontario building and workplace requirements, including any exit-route or accessibility requirements, before fabrication. Welding qualifications do not replace engineering design or required approvals.
Identify who uses the stair, how often and what equipment or materials need access. The responsible designer confirms loads, spans and supporting steel.
Confirm the required stair dimensions, clearances, tread arrangement, handrails and guards for the building and use. An exit route needs its own egress review.
Interior and exterior stairs face different moisture, wear and cleaning conditions. Specify drainage, tread surfaces and finishes for the installation environment.
Check delivery routes, lifting space, fixing locations and work around ongoing operations. Coordinate the stair layout with doors, platforms and existing circulation.

Industrial stairs & landings
We fabricate steel staircases, mezzanine access stairs, exterior stairs, stair towers, service and maintenance stairs, platform stairs and steel landings for commercial and industrial applications. The layout and supporting steel depend on the project drawings and site conditions.
Yes. Weld Rich & Steel provides steel stair fabrication and installation for commercial and industrial projects across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Include the site address, access restrictions and operating hours when discussing installation.
We can review supplied engineering drawings and specifications for custom steel stair fabrication. Send the current drawing revision, dimensions, connection details and finish requirements. Engineering design and approval remain with the responsible engineer.
Yes. Industrial stair systems can be fabricated for interior or exterior use, with material selection and protective coatings adjusted to match environmental exposure and operational demands.
We can review existing steel stairs and discuss replacement or modification options based on their condition and project requirements. Photographs help with the initial discussion; the supporting structure and proposed connections may need assessment by the responsible engineer.
Depending on the design, industrial stairs may use HSS or plate stringers, steel channels, checker plate or grating treads, support frames and fabricated landings. Tread surfaces and finishes should be selected for the expected traffic, moisture and installation environment.
The applicable requirements depend on the building, stair location, intended use and project design. Ontario Building Code provisions, workplace safety regulations and the approved drawings may apply. The responsible designer should confirm dimensions, loads, handrails, guards, egress and any permit requirements for the specific installation.
Cost depends on the stair dimensions, number of flights and landings, steel materials, tread design, finish and installation conditions. Supporting steel, engineering requirements, site access and scheduling also affect the scope. Send your drawings or project details for a quotation with clear inclusions.
Send the project address, approximate floor-to-floor height and available dimensions, intended use, drawings or photographs and required schedule. Note whether the stair is indoors or outdoors and describe delivery or installation restrictions. Use Request a Quote to share project files, or call 416-835-5363 to discuss the work.

Applications
Custom steel staircases and landings provide access between working levels, equipment areas and maintenance locations in commercial and industrial facilities.
Typical commercial and industrial applications include:
The current Ontario Building Code framework is established by O. Reg. 163/24, which adopts the National Building Code of Canada 2020 with Ontario amendments. Confirm the applicable edition, current amendments and transition provisions for the permit and project.
Building classification, stair location, use and approved drawings determine the relevant requirements. The responsible designer and site team should confirm stair geometry, loads, landings, guards, connections and any required inspections. Check permit requirements with the local building department before construction.
