While rolled up, the Rollaway can be easily carried to site by one person. Always carry out your own risk assessment.

Place the Rollaway at the top of the area you need to access, and secure it in place with fixings appropriate for the ground conditions.

Roll out the Rollaway, ensuring the reinforced rubber mat is free from kinks or ruckles for maximum stability.

When finished, simply roll the Rollaway back up, ready to transport to your next job site.

The Rollaway in Action

Shropshire Union Canal Society Finishes Restoration with the Rollaway

Challenge

During the final phase of a 7-year-long restoration project on Montgomery Canal, volunteers from the Shropshire Union Canal Society needed a safe way to access the slippery and uneven worksite. Their previous methods - costly scaffolding - was no longer viable for the charity's limited budget, yet protection for volunteers was essential.

Solution

The Society partnered with the Rollaway team to find a safer, faster, more affordable alternative. The Rollaway temporary safety stairs offered exactly what they needed: lightweight deployment, strong grip on inclines and stability on muddy terrain. With a major ceremony looming, we manufactured and delivered the units they needed to a tight deadline.

Result

The volunteers complete their final works safely, efficiently, and in time for the project's celebratory event. The Rollaway proved easy to use, highly effective, and quickly drew interest from other canal and waterway organisations. According to the team, the Rollaway “saved the day”! Providing a practical, low-cost solution that helped bring a long-awaited restoration to completion.
