FAQs
What’s the Difference between a Step Ladder and a Platform Ladder?
Platform (step) ladders are differentiated from ‘regular’ step ladders by, as the name might suggest, the presence of a platform. Step ladders only have rungs to stand on, whereas platform ladders give you a platform that can be used for standing, resting, the storing of tools – maybe even a brew!
Is This Platform Step Ladder Suitable for Trade Use?
Yes, this platform step ladder is suitable for use in hard-wearing and heavy-duty environments. In fact, the Heavy Duty Platform Step Ladder is certified to EN131 Professional standards, so you can rest assured that you’re investing in a durable and reliable platform ladder.
