A hack I like to do with treadmills is to go 1.5-2 miles per hour and have an incline of 20-30%. You burn 600-800 calories but your going at walking speed. I call it the hiking simulator.

I've never seen a treadmill that goes over 15% grade. 30% is almost a stair stepper.

Ah it is a pretty unique treadmill: https://www.freemotionfitness.com/cardio/incline-trainers

They call it an incline trainer

With stair steppers I found it a lot harder to sustain it for the same nominal calorie count. But going up a %30 incline vs a stair stepper might be the same difference between an elliptical vs running.
