Basically, all colours according to RAL colour chart K5 Classic are possible. You will find further information on coating here!
The slope steps shown in colour are only colour examples!
Please note our safety instructions!
The slope step is supplied in galvanised steel with powder coating. The bar (one threaded bar per slope step is included in the step price) is supplied in galvanised steel. The bars have a tolerance of +/- 1 mm in length.
Fading of the coating does not take place, but wear and tear due to walking and weathering is unavoidable. At the pointed ends of the feet of the steps, it is possible that the coating may come off, as the paint application has little adhesive surface. The points mentioned above do not constitute grounds for complaint!
When installing with tools (e.g. a hammer, mallet, spirit level, etc.), it is essential to ensure that the surface of the slope step is well covered and protected. The surface is sensitive. Working with sharp objects and under pressure can cause injuries and scratches on the coated surface.
When ordering, please enter your chosen colour tone from the RAL colour card K5 Classic (preceded by RAL, then 4-digit number - example: RAL5010) in the "Product customisation" field and confirm your selection with the "Save customisation" button.

Notes and warnings
1. Installation
2. Safety
Use work gloves and safe, sturdy footwear when transporting, assembling and dismantling the steps.
During assembly, make sure that the slope steps are firmly anchored. In any case, use the steel rod and make sure that it protrudes evenly on the right and left. Carry out a load test to check that the steps do not give way in the soil.
When assembling, make sure that the tread surface has a slight inclination towards the slope. Make sure that you do not get overweight and tip over to the front.
Only step on the steps with sturdy shoes.
Do not step on the steps during or after rain, wetness, ice or snow. When stepping onto the steps after rain, wetness, ice or snow, check that the steps do not give way in the ground and that there is good stability.
3. Use
The steps serve to improve the accessibility of slopes and embankments. The steps may only be used for this purpose (i.e. for the intended use).
Only healthy persons with unrestricted walking ability who are sure of their steps and footing may use the steps. If you are unsure, please refrain from using them!
4. Maintenance
Make sure that the steps are always free of dirt, soil, leaves, twigs and the like. This is the only way to ensure a safe step and a secure footing.
5. Liability
When handling the slope steps purchased, the manufacturer's information and instructions as well as the information on the safety instructions (see point 2. Safety and also enclosed in the box with the steps) must be observed. Defective products must be taken out of service immediately. The liability of Hangstufen.de and its vicarious agents is in any case limited to intent, gross negligence and breach of material contractual obligations. Liability for damage resulting from use of the purchased product contrary to its intended purpose is excluded. In the event of negligent breach of material contractual obligations, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable typical damage. Claims for injury to life, body and health as well as product liability claims remain unaffected by this.

Corrosion and rust-through of the ‘raw steel’ version of the slope steps
• Reduced service life & loss of stability:
Raw steel (uncoated steel) has no factory-applied corrosion protection. Rust formation begins immediately due to weathering, ground moisture and waterlogging. As corrosion progresses, the material thickness of 2 mm decreases continuously. This can lead to a significant loss of load-bearing capacity and to the steps suddenly breaking or giving way under load.
• Obligation for the operator to carry out regular inspections:
The steps must be inspected at regular intervals (at least twice a year, particularly after winter) both visually and mechanically for through-corrosion, deep rust pitting and loss of stability. At the first signs of deep pitting or deformation, use must be prohibited immediately.
• Risk of injury from sharp edges:
Rusting can cause layers of material to flake off or edges to break away irregularly. This results in sharp, jagged edges which, if touched or in the event of a fall, can lead to serious cuts and infections. The steps should not be walked on barefoot.
• On-site corrosion protection:
To ensure safe use over the long term, it is strongly recommended that the steps be professionally protected against corrosion immediately after purchase or installation (e.g. by hot-dip galvanising, powder coating or applying a special anti-corrosion paint).
• Increased risk from contact with the ground:
Direct contact with damp soil, fertilisers or road salt significantly accelerates chemical corrosion (rust formation). In these installation situations, the time until critical material weakening is drastically reduced.
• Disclaimer regarding untreated products:
If the product is installed in its ‘raw steel’ state without subsequent, professional corrosion protection, the manufacturer accepts no liability for damage, accidents or consequential damage attributable to material fatigue, rust-through or loss of stability. In this case, use is at the operator’s own risk.
