Ladders & Platforms

Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Ladders & Work Platforms | Mobile, Folding & Warehouse Steps

How often should industrial ladders be inspected?

To maintain safety, industrial ladders should be visually checked before each use. A more detailed inspection is recommended every six months, or more frequently in demanding environments. Regular checks are needed to help spot signs of wear early and ensure continued safe use.

What are the benefits of using aluminium access equipment?

Aluminium access equipment is both lightweight and strong, making it easy to handle without compromising on durability. It’s also rust-resistant, which makes it a reliable choice for indoor and outdoor tasks alike. The lighter weight helps reduce strain and supports safer manual handling.

Are your ladders and platforms adjustable?

Yes, many of our ladders and work platforms offer adjustable height settings or folding designs. This gives you flexibility to work at different levels while also making storage and transport simple and efficient. From some of our models, you can also add handrails for extra safety.

What safety features do your ladders and work platforms have?

Our ladders and work platforms are built with user safety in mind. Features include anti-slip treads, stabilising feet, safety rails and locking mechanisms to ensure secure positioning during use. These safety measures help reduce the risk of slips, falls and workplace injuries — even in fast-paced or industrial settings.
