When it comes to ladders you want to make sure that you're buying the best, the highest quality product; that's a given as you're using them to reach heights you wouldn't normally reach and you're relying on the ladder you're using to not break and cause injury to you and others. We here at Ladders.co.uk know that health and safety is no laughing matter, that's why we strive to stock the highest quality products that stand up to the most relevant safety standards; if it's not safe we don't sell it.

The focus of this blog post has been set to podium steps and platforms, where health and safety is key. These products are great, perfect for a decorator or an electrician as you are given the height from a normal ladder (if not higher) and the freedom to move around and cover a wider area; this can also pose a threat as if you're not careful enough you can fall and cause minor injury. This is why we only stock large towers that come with at least double handrails, making it much more difficult for you to slip out and leaving you with a peace of mind in knowing your personal safety has already been taken care of. We have decided to put together a little list of some of our more popular podium steps and platforms to show you these great products, and go further in depth into their applications.

First up on our list is our Multi-Purpose Ladder and Scaffold, from the experts over at Drabest UK. This platform ladder consists of two ladder sections that can be combined for a more traditional approach, becoming a simple ladder; however if you require more freedom of movement you can split them apart and attach the anti-slip rubberised platform, turning it into a great little platform ladder. You are able to choose the treads the ladder attaches to, allowing for more freedom when it comes to choosing your height. This ladder conforms to EN-131 Trade safety regulations and has been tested for absolute safety.

Next up we have the Giant ZAP Telescopic Work Platform, from the minds at Zarges, once again proving that they are masters at their craft. This telescopic work platform allows you to work at heights from 2.81m to 5.15m, giving you the necessary reach for any job and the safety of the platform ladder. Features include a large working platform with both a guard rail and a knee bar for added safety, horizontal stabilisers on either side for extra stability, compact design when folded down for easy transportation and removable plastic end caps to ensure a non slip surface for your ladder to rest on. This ladder conforms to both EN-131 Trade safety regulations and BGI-637 safety standards when fully erected and stabilised.

Lastly on our list we have the Teletower, a simply named and simply excellent product again from Zarges. The list of features found on this ladder are similar to that of the above work platform, however everything has been turned up to ten for this one. The ladders on either side that allow you access to the work platform are telescopic, meaning that the whole height can be easily adjusted for whatever job you require, the entire platform has been mounted to wheels, allowing for easy mobility and extra ease of use; however when you wish to set up shop with this ladder you can use the rubber feet to raise the wheels from the ground, stopping the movement and turning this into a brilliant work platform.

So there we have three work platforms perfectly suited for jobs that require a stable working platform.
