Mobile Safety Steps for Fast, Safer Access Anywhere
Safer Access in Seconds
In 2023/24, over 19,000 non-fatal workplace injuries were caused by slips, trips, and falls, costing UK employers approximately £512 million (HSE).
Using mobile safety steps like the Rollaway is essential when your team needs stable footing while working on unpredictable ground.
The Rollaway is the UK's first truly portable and mobile safety steps: a rugged, lightweight and instant solution designed to give workers stable, anti-slip access on even the harshest terrain. Wherever your team needs a secure path, stairway, ladder or walkway, the Rollaway gets them where they need to be safely and quickly.
Used every day by national infrastructure companies, water companies, utilities providers, rail contractors and environmental services, the Rollaway transforms slippery riverbanks embankments, railway verges, culverts, and ditches into more safely navigable terrain.
Portable
The Rollaway has been engineered for real-world practicality. One person can carry, position and deploy the Rollaway in seconds, even on steep, muddy, or uneven surfaces. No machinery required.
Versatile
The Rollaway can help you navigate almost any terrain, units can be manufactured in custom sizes, and joined together for long distances, giving you safer access even on the most complex sites.
Safe
The heavy-duty anti-slip rubber matting grips wet, algae-covered, muddy, frosty or loose ground. Supported by fixings of your choice, the Rollaway helps reduce the risk of injury.
Durable
Made from robust rubber matting and tough EPDM, the Rollaway can withstand constant outdoor use and exposure, severe weather, equipment handling, and daily use on industrial sites.
Fast
From storage to secure footing in under a minute. Just carry to site, position, secure, and roll out - and you have a safer access point wherever you need it.
How the Rollaway Works
You'll be surprised at just how quick and simple the Rollaway is to deploy. Compared to other conventional access equipment, deploying the Rollaway almost effortless - and can be ready in seconds; turning your worksite access nightmare into a breeze.

The Rollaway in Action
Anglian Water Improves Safety on the Strategic Pipeline Alliance
Challenge
The teams installing the largest environmental project in Europe - the Strategic Pipeline Alliance - faced extremely difficult ground conditions while constructing the new Bexwell to Isleham (B2I) water pipeline.
Solution
Anglian Water deployed the Rollaway mobile safety steps to provide fast, stable access on steep and uneven terrain. After ordering three units, the team were so impressed with the product's portability, durability and value that they immediately ordered three more.
Result
The Rollaway enabled safer, more efficient movement across challenging worksheets and supported the project in meeting tight timelines. Anglian Water has since adopted the Rollaway across additional projects and teams.

Safety Notice
The Rollaway mobile safety steps increase grip on sloped or uneven surfaces, but it does not eliminate the risk of slips, trips and falls. Grip can vary depending on user weight, load carried, environmental conditions (mud, frost, algae, wet surfaces), user agility and care, position on the Rollaway.
When using the Rollaway you should always make sure to carry out your own in-depth risk assessment. Where hazards are significant, additional safety measures, such as safety lines, should be used.
Industry Applications
Water & Waste Management
Challenges
Wet, algae-covered surfaces and steep ground around reservoirs, ditches, culverts, and treatment plants increase the risk of slips - especially during water sampling, leak checks and maintenance.
Solution
The Rollaway provides stable, mobile safety steps on wet, uneven ground, giving works safer access to banks and drainage areas; reducing risk and improving efficiency.
Rail & Road
Challenges
Railway embankments, road verges, and highway infrastructure often force rail maintenance teams to work on unstable, muddy, and wet sloped terrain.
Solution
Acting as mobile safety stairs, Rollaway gives maintenance and inspection teams a form, anti-slip surface right where they need it - even in poor conditions. Ideal for emergency works and planned maintenance.
Environment & Conservation
Challenges
Forestry, conservation and ecological fieldwork often involve navigating steep banks, muddy paths, and uneven natural landscapes.
Solution
The Rollaway acts as robust embankment steps for researchers, rangers and conservationists who need safe, portable access in remote locations without disturbing the natural environment.
