escabeau en aluminium

It's impossible to be sure without more context, but in EN, unless we are in some way talking about attaching, fitting, etc. individual 'steps', then '(a set of) steps' usually means a 'step-ladder' or 'escabeau' — having a portable set of steps would certainly make it easier for a welder to get around to the right spot, and obviously, they are usually made of aluminum for lightness and hence portabiity.
'marchepied' is also another possibility, but only more context would make that clear.

permettant probablement l'accès à une plate-forme de travail.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : One possibility, but please see my own suggestion for what I think is probably more plausible. If it were for access, it's more likely to be a ladder or stairs; unless it's like those individual steps cemented into a wall etc.
