About this asset

An industrial alternating tread switchback stair Revit family featuring steep-angle alternating steps, an intermediate landing, and integrated safety handrails. Constructed as a compact vertical circulation assembly, this metal stair configuration incorporates two flights of alternating tread steps oriented around a central intermediate resting platform. Slender structural posts support the elevated intermediate landing, while continuous perimeter safety railings wrap the turn to ensure fall protection. Tubular steel handrails flank each flight to aid ascent and descent along the steep incline. The faceted tread layout alternates left and right footing positions, minimising horizontal floor footprint while bridging significant vertical elevations within tight industrial plant enclosures and utility mezzanines.

The download is a 532 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this RFA component directly into your Revit project environment to resolve vertical access routes in confined technical zones. Place the family at the lower finished floor level, aligning the platform and upper landing against structural framing or equipment platforms. Use section and elevation views to confirm head clearances and landing interface alignments before locking or pinning the assembly into your coordination model.

Ideal for manufacturing facilities, industrial boiler rooms, rooftop access enclosures, and tight mechanical plant rooms, this specialised egress assembly resolves vertical circulation where standard stairs exceed available floor area. It pairs effectively with steel mezzanines, cat-walk grating systems, and maintenance platforms in technical BIM coordination models. Design teams frequently incorporate this asset when detailing utility access, service risers, back-of-house circulation, and equipment platform stairs across industrial and infrastructure schemes.
