The BOWCO Step features the industry's most comprehensive safety designs. The cone shaped tread penetrates the dirt and mud that may collect on shoes and the extra tall end lugs combine to provide added assurance of better footing. The first bright safety orange step on the market was manufactured by BOWCO Industries. Designed from the inside out the BOWCO Step has set a new standard for quality, safety and reliability in manhole and utility vault steps.
