THE STEP-UP

The StepUp is the only pole-mounted platform on the market that enables proper work and body positioning for linemen working on steel, fiberglass, and other non-climbable poles. This patented two-tier working platform reduces fatigue, increases safety, and enhances productivity.

What is it?

The StepUp is the only pole-mounted work plate on the market that optimizes work and body positioning for linemen working on steel, fiberglass, and other non-climbable poles. This patented two-tier working platform reduces fatigue, increases safety, and allows the linemen to work in proper body position preventing injury.

 

How it Works?

  1. Lift & Secure: The StepUp is hoisted into position using a handline.
  2. Strap & Lock: A nylon ratchet strap with a D-ring locks it into place securely.
  3. Ready for Action: The platform offers a stable, slip-resistant surface for working safely and efficiently.
