The Q-400 Passenger Boarding Stair is designed to accommodate passenger boarding at the L2 door of the aircraft. The Q-Stair is lightweight and easily maneuvered and deployed by one individual in less than 1 minute. The Q-Stair is designed with functionality and safety in mind, with its angled platform and folding gate. The Q-Stair is equipped with a roll-away stantion and retractable ribbon reel, that when used in conjunction with the Q-step, forms an overall Q-400 system. This system allows the under wing area to be cordoned off, directing the passengers around this area.
