Temporary Staircase Hire

Temporary Staircase Hire for Construction Sites

Temporary staircase hire provides a practical means of access between floor levels while permanent stairs are unavailable, incomplete or not yet installed.

Temporary staircases are commonly used on new-build housing, timber-frame developments, refurbishment projects and other construction work where workers need regular access between levels during the build programme.

What Temporary Staircase Sizes Are Available?

Our hire range includes temporary staircases with different step counts and floor-to-floor heights, allowing the staircase to be matched more closely to the level change on site.

The current range includes:

• 3 Step Temporary Staircase – approximately 800mm floor to floor
• 4 Step Temporary Staircase – approximately 1000mm floor to floor
• 5 Step Temporary Staircase – approximately 1200mm floor to floor
• 6 Step Temporary Staircase – approximately 1400mm floor to floor
• 7 Step Temporary Staircase – approximately 1600mm floor to floor
• 8 Step Temporary Staircase – approximately 1800mm floor to floor
• 9 Step Temporary Staircase – approximately 2000mm floor to floor
• 10 Step Temporary Staircase – approximately 2200mm floor to floor
• 11 Step Temporary Staircase – approximately 2400mm floor to floor
• 12 Step Temporary Staircase – approximately 2650mm floor to floor

Always check the dimensions of the opening and the required floor-to-floor height before selecting a staircase.

Where Are Temporary Staircases Used?

Temporary stairs can be used wherever construction work requires regular access between levels before the permanent staircase is available.

Typical applications include:

• New-build housing
• Timber-frame construction
• Residential developments
• Refurbishment projects
• Building extensions
• Internal construction access

Why Hire a Temporary Staircase?

Hiring can be a practical option where access equipment is only required for a particular stage of a project.

Rather than purchasing equipment that may only be needed temporarily, staircase hire allows the required size to be used for the duration of the relevant works.

Choosing the Correct Temporary Staircase

The most important starting point is the floor-to-floor height between the levels you need to access.

Compare your measured height with the available staircase sizes and review the individual product specification before ordering. The correct staircase will also depend on the layout of the opening and the requirements of the individual site.

If you are unsure which staircase size you require, contact our team with the approximate floor-to-floor height and details of the installation area.
