Work Platform

Work platforms provide lift and a stable, elevated work surface for performing tasks. They may be used to temporarily raise employees to reach items at height or raise items to a safe, ergonomic working height for workers based on the ground.

Work platforms for undertaking work at heights help with a range of tasks needing vertical mobility. These tasks can include:

• Reaching overhead equipment and light fittings
• Painting or decorating
• Loading and unloading trucks without a back-lift or dock
• Stock picking in warehouse and distribution centers
• Construction, electrical work, and building and equipment maintenance

At Shelving + Rack Systems, Inc., we carry work platforms that comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for fall prevention. Safety features required for adjustable height platforms include handrails, safety chains, mesh back panels, slip-resistant treads, and load capacity ratings.

We also carry a range of adjustable work platforms for elevating people to work at higher levels, such as:

• Heavy-duty rolling ladders and staircases with wide-based designs and foot brakes
• Slim fold work platforms
• Stock pickers
• 1 or 2-person steel work platforms and cages
• 1 or 2-person maintenance lifts
• Tanker top lifts
• hydraulic scissor lift tables to raise and lower.

To elevate people to reach optimum working heights, some options include adjustable steel work platforms to create a safe foundation for uneven surfaces and variable height platforms to raise employees in small increments.

Other types of work platforms to consider when planning and maximizing height space within a work environment include permanently elevated platforms in conjunction with mezzanine levels to store infrequently used items.
