Though a plastic step stool may be small, it’s mighty. For those situations where you need to reach for something at height, it’s the perfect lightweight yet sturdy solution.

When should I use a plastic step stool?

A plastic step stool is a great option when you need to reach for something at height but you don’t quite need a ladder. While we do love a good ladder, we have to admit, sometimes they’re not the best option. You might not have the space to use one or it might not be worth venturing into the garage or loft to get it. Another advantage of a plastic step stool is that it can be used in loads of different environments.

Work in a school library and need to stack those big reference books away?

A plastic step stool could be just what you need in these situations and lots more.

Before you invest…

A plastic step stool is versatile and it’s easy to use and carry. However, like with any product, we recommend that you think before you invest;

  • How could you store it?
  • Will it fit easily under your desk in the office or in the little cupboard under the stairs?
  • Do you need something that will give you just that little bit of extra reach?
  • Will you end up overreaching if you don’t use something that’s going to give you some substantial extra height?
  • Will you be using it for light tasks only?

Yes, a plastic step stool is sturdy. But for more heavy duty tasks, we’d recommend looking at stepladders, ladders, or work platforms. For more advice and articles on all things safety steps, check out the rest of our blog.
