Choosing the right warehouse ladders can be a challenge. You’ve got to think about the jobs you need them for. You need to consider your warehouse size and setup. And of course, you have to think about choosing ladders that will improve safety and efficiency. Don’t know where to start? Read our guide.
Warehouse Ladders for Every Situation
Short on Space?
If you don’t have the space to store multiple types of ladders in your warehouse, don’t worry. You don’t have to. You can still carry out tasks safely and efficiently. You just need to be a little bit savvy about your choice of ladder.
What you need in this situation is a telescopic ladder like the Hailo T80 Flexline 380. It’s a perfect choice for a warehouse short on space. You can adjust the height by removing individual rungs. The one-hand unlocking system means you can adjust it quickly and safely. Use it to reach stock at height then retract it for compact storage. It’s a great solution when space is at a premium.
Don’t need or want to get the forklift out?
In your warehouse, maybe the goods aren’t stacked too high but you still have to travel between locations to pick or shelve stock. What if you can’t get access to a forklift or the job doesn’t really require one? There’s a solution. You can move mobile warehouse ladders such as the Duplex Weight Reactive Steel Tread Mobile Steps to wherever they’re needed. They give you that extra height plus that much-needed stability. The clever frame-in-frame weight reactive design immobilises the wheels, keeping the unit still while you’re working.
Goods stacked high in narrow aisles?
The last thing you want when you have to navigate narrow aisles are bulky and clunky ladders. When your standard ladders are no good and there’s no hope of getting your forklift in, we have just the thing. What if you could have a ladder with the option of up to 15 treads that fits perfectly in a tight space? Now you can. Enter our Steptek Quality Extra Heavy Duty Narrow Base Model with its square base and wide range of tread options. The perfect option for the tall, narrow warehouse.
Work in a warehouse the size of a small country?
Depending on the sector you’re in, some warehouse spaces can be pretty huge. This means workers have large spaces to navigate to pick or drop off goods. To keep things safe and efficient, use a set of mobile warehouse ladders like our Easy Steer Mobile Steps. They give you the extra height you need to access goods while being easy to move around in warehouses that are the size of a small country.
Another option is an Easy Slope Platform. If you’re going to be working at height and in the same spot for a while, you need safety and comfort. This is what this mobile work platform provides. If you’re fixing machinery or picking a lot of stock in one location, this makes the job a whole lot easier. A grip lift mechanism makes the unit fully mobile while releasing the castors keeps it fixed and stable while you work.
Choosing the right warehouse ladders can feel like a difficult task when there are so many different ladder types and designs available. Hopefully, our guide has made your buying choice so much easier. Whatever your needs, there’s a ladder for every situation in our range.
