If you work in retail, a busy office, or a storeroom, you might need to access items stored at height. Need a convenient, space-saving solution? Kick steps could be just the thing. Here’s our guide to the workplace accessory you never knew you needed-until now.
Kick steps are a type of step stool that allows you to reach items at height. However, unlike your average step stool, kick-steps are mobile on retractable spring mounted castors. This means they’re easy to move along the floor but are completely stationary when weight is applied.
They are handy for all types of businesses. While they are popular in stock rooms and store rooms, they are also often used in libraries, schools, offices, and homes.
These versatile steps are suited to many different jobs from stacking shelves and restocking retail displays, to light maintenance or decorating jobs.
If it’s inconvenient to go and get a ladder, or there’s no space or need for one, kick steps are a great alternative. Easy to move, carry, and store, they’ll make accessing items at height so much quicker and easier.
Thanks to their spring mounted castors, these steps will glide smoothly in any direction. Perfect for when you need to get the job done quickly with minimum effort.
Don’t be fooled by how lightweight they are. These steps are strong and durable so you can work safely. Our steps have a maximum load capacity of 150kg!
While we do love ladders, they can take up a bit of space. In contrast, compact kick steps fit easily in a storage cupboard or under a desk or counter.
Most of these steps come with anti-slip rubber treads and bases. This provides added grip which means workers don’t have to worry about slipping or falling.
It’s a simple enough piece of equipment, but treat your steps like any other piece of access kit. This means checking them for damage before use and using them properly. In particular, check for wear and tear, damage, or dirt or grease on the base or platform.
Other things to think about include wearing appropriate clothing. Don’t stand on the steps unless you’re wearing appropriate footwear. Hint: not high heels or flip flops! Also bear in mind that items of clothing like long or baggy trousers could get caught on the steps.
Finally, don’t overreach. If you can’t comfortably reach what you need to using the kick steps, consider other types of safety steps like a stepladder.
