We have Aluminum stairs from Tim The Tool man who did a nice job on the attic stairs and epoxy floor in the garage. We choose alum because it has a higher weight capacity. We also had Tim paint it since we are part timers and we didn't want paint stored in the garage. But to your question about the railing, the railing is not normally the problem when trying to put up bulkier items, it is the hinges that get in the way,so wood or aluminum most likely have the same issue.
When buying plastic tubs you need to buy the smaller ones so the hinges will not foul you up.
