Introducing MagnaStep - The New Era of UK-Made Step Ladders

Working on flat roofs and elevated workspaces is a common requirement across construction, transport, facilities management and utilities. Yet it remains one of the most challenging areas to manage safely. Whether accessing the roof of a bus, a welfare unit, a container, a substation or a commercial building, safety at the point of access, plus edge protection on the roof itself is critical. The challenge of accessing flat roofs safely Flat roofs and elevated workspaces are widely used for: Plant and equipment maintenance Vehicle and fleet servicing Inspections and surveys Installation and repair work While the work itself may be straightforward, getting safely onto the roof and working hands-free when in the workspace is often where problems arise. Common issues include: Limited or no edge protection Unsafe transitions from access equipment to roof Increased risk of falls during access and egress In many environments, these risks are difficult to eliminate using standard ladders or basic access equipment. Introducing the Lyte Boxing Ring Tower (BRT) The Lyte Boxing Ring Tower (BRT) provides a fully enclosed overhead workspace that creates true 360-degree fall protection around the work area. This unique “boxing ring” design removes the need to install temporary edge protection before stepping onto the flat roof surface, offering a safer, faster setup for a wide range of elevated tasks. The BRT integrates with Lyte’s HiLyte Tower System and uses a transition deck to allow operatives to step safely onto the roof or elevated surface. The overhead frame extends out from the tower, allowing safe access to work areas where conventional towers cannot reach. This is especially suited to rail, transport, utilities and site accommodation applications. Key features include: 360-degree fall protection barriers around the workspace area Controlled transition from tower to roof Secure, stable access for repeated use Designed for flat roofs and elevated workspaces Once on the roof, operatives can work as required, knowing that the most hazardous part of the task, the access and egress, has been properly controlled. The work is carried out on the roof or surface itself , while the Boxing Ring Tower frame provides 360-degree fall protection around the workspace . Applications for the Boxing Ring Tower The BRT delivers a significantly safer method of access for tasks where users must transition from a tower onto a flat work surface. The solution was developed in response to a transport sector requirement for safe roof access on buses, but the same access challenges exist across many industries. The Lyte Boxing Ring Tower is suited to a wide range of real-world applications, including: Buses, coaches and commercial vehicles Trains and rail vehicles Flat roofs and rooftop plant Substations and utilities infrastructure Containers, welfare units and modular buildings The fully enclosed “boxing ring” workspace surrounds the user and provides 360-degree fall protection, significantly reducing risk when transitioning onto elevated structures. Designed and manufactured in the UK The Boxing Ring Tower is designed and manufactured in the UK , ensuring: Consistent quality and durability Clear specifications for professional use Long-term support and availability This makes it suitable not only for end users, but also for hire companies, contractors and facilities teams who need reliable access solutions.
