MEISER stair treads are manufactured from grating incorporating endplates and non-slip safety nosing to their leading edge. The tread as an essential safety element of ail types of staircases must always function correctly, be it during everyday intensive use on the access path to a ski lift, or where subjected to extreme loads, if, for example, the staircase is used in an uncontrolled manner as an escape route by many people during a fire.
MEISER is aware of this responsibility and has designed its stair treads accordingly. The extended, perforated safety nosing fulfils and even exceeds the latest régulations. It provides additional stability, reduces the maximum depth of the opening to 120 mm and fulfils safety
class R11. At the request of the customer, the nosing can also be made of a spécial section, e.g. a non-slip steel flooring plate or a sanded steel angle. The safety end-plates have a pronounced bead, which interlocks with the bearing bars. This prevents the endplate from tearing off prematurely if if is subjected to significant excess loads and causing the tread to fail. The tread surface of the MEISER stair treads can be designed individually.
Press locked grating treads can be produced from mild steel, highgrade steel and aluminium. They are produced in accordance with the same principle as for press locked grating. It is possible to provide these stair treads with anti-skid-properties up to R13 by including special notches on the bearing bars and cross bars. Even very large tread widths can be produced by designing the bearing bars in the same way as heavy duty grating. Thus it is possible for even extreme loads to be reliably absorbed.
