Stubbs® Industrial Steps

Stubbs industrial steps provide safe, portable access for a wide range of yard, stable, warehouse, and workplace applications. Manufactured by Stubbs England — a trusted British brand established in 1836 — these step blocks are moulded from tough STUBBYTHENE material that's virtually indestructible, yet light enough to move easily with one hand using the built-in rope handles.

Every model features slip-resistant treads and rounded corners for safe use, while the robust construction supports rider and user weights up to 90kg. From single-step mounting blocks to the versatile three-step Up & Over, there's a Stubbs step to suit every need. Available in a range of colours and built to withstand years of daily use.

Versatile Steps Built to Go the Distance

Stubbs industrial steps are designed for environments where portability, durability, and safety are non-negotiable. Originally developed for the equestrian industry — where mounting blocks see daily use across stable yards, arenas, and show grounds — these tough step units have proven equally valuable in commercial, agricultural, and industrial settings where safe, portable access is needed without the bulk and weight of traditional metal steps.

The key material behind their performance is STUBBYTHENE, Stubbs' proprietary moulding compound. It delivers exceptional impact resistance and strength without adding unnecessary weight, won't rust or corrode, resists cracking in cold weather, and shrugs off contact with chemicals, animal waste, and cleaning agents. It's the same proven material used across the Stubbs product range, from muck barrows to mangers.

Safety Features Across the Range

Every Stubbs step unit is engineered with user safety as a priority. Key safety features include slip-resistant tread plates or surfaces on all stepping areas, rounded corners to eliminate sharp edges, wide bases for stable footing on level ground, lightweight construction that reduces manual handling risk, and the STUBBS logo moulded into every product for consumer confidence and authenticity.

Applications Beyond the Stable Yard

While Stubbs steps are a staple of equestrian environments — used for mounting horses, accessing horse lorries, and reaching high storage in tack rooms — their rugged construction and portable design make them an excellent choice for a broad range of applications.

In warehouses and workshops, they provide quick access to racking, shelving, and workbenches. In retail and commercial settings, lightweight step blocks allow staff to reach high displays and stock rooms safely. On farms and smallholdings, they're useful for accessing machinery, vehicles, and feed stores. Around the home and garden, they offer a stable platform for reaching high shelves, cupboards, and outdoor storage.

Their chemical and corrosion resistance makes them particularly well suited to environments where metal steps would deteriorate, including food processing areas, agricultural settings, and any workspace exposed to moisture or cleaning agents.

Why Choose Stubbs Over Metal Steps?

Traditional metal step stools and platforms have their place, but they come with drawbacks in many working environments. They rust, they're often heavy, they can scratch floors and damage surfaces, and in cold conditions the treads can become dangerously slippery. Stubbs STUBBYTHENE steps avoid all of these issues — they're corrosion-proof, lightweight, gentle on surfaces, and maintain their slip-resistant properties in all weather conditions.

What is STUBBYTHENE? STUBBYTHENE is Stubbs England's proprietary moulding compound used across their product range. It's extremely tough, impact-resistant, lightweight, and immune to rust, corrosion, and degradation from chemicals, animal waste, and cleaning agents — making it ideal for demanding environments.

Can Stubbs steps be stacked for storage? Yes. Both the Mountie and Up & Over are designed to nest and stack, making them easy to store when not in use — particularly useful for yards and workplaces with limited storage space.

Are Stubbs steps suitable for outdoor use? Absolutely. STUBBYTHENE is weather-resistant and won't rust, crack, or degrade when left outdoors. The material holds up well in rain, frost, and direct sunlight, making Stubbs steps ideal for permanent outdoor positioning or frequent use across indoor and outdoor environments.

Can the Stubbs Mountie and Up & Over be used as jump stands? Yes. Both the two-step Mountie and three-step Up & Over have shallow cups moulded into both sides of each step, allowing them to double as training jump stands — a popular feature on equestrian yards.
