Types of Mobile Safety Steps

Different types of mobile safety steps, also known as mobile ladders or warehouse steps, are designed to provide temporary access to elevated work areas. Therefore, they come in various types to suit specific needs and environments. Here are some of the common types:

Single-sided Safety Mobile Steps

These are the most basic type, with steps on one side and wheels on the other for easy movement. They are suitable for reaching low heights, although they come in a variety of step options. For example, the domed feet mobile steps and easy action mobile safety steps.

Industrial Mobile Steps

These heavy-duty steps are designed for frequent use in demanding environments. They are typically made of steel or aluminium and can withstand high weight capacities. For example, the foot lock steps, easy slope steps, medium and heavy duty mobile safety step range.

Access Platform Steps

Extra-wide mobile steps: These steps have wider treads for increased stability and comfort. They are a good option for carrying tools or materials while climbing. For example, the single ended and double ended access platforms.

 

Here are some additional features to consider when choosing mobile safety steps:

 

• Material: Aluminium steps are lightweight and portable, while steel steps are more durable and can support higher weight capacities.
• Number of steps: The number of steps will determine the maximum height you can reach.
• Weight capacity: Choose steps with a weight capacity that exceeds the weight of the user and any tools or materials they will be carrying.
• Handrails: Handrails provide additional support and stability when climbing and descending.
• Slip-resistant treads: Treads with a slip-resistant surface can help prevent falls.
