Aluminium Platform and Fibreglass Ladders for Retail Stores and Warehouses

September 12, 2016

Employees in retail stores and warehouses often need to utilise ladders to access stock on upper shelves. For ease of use, it is important for businesses to invest in ones that are durable, and easy to handle and maintain. For this reason, most companies at present turn to aluminium platform or fibreglass ladders, such as the ones we sell here at SOS Retail Sales. Both types come in a variety of sizes to meet the varying needs that a company may have daily. Let us examine these two types of ladders to learn additional facts and benefits of them.

Reasons to Consider Aluminium Platform Ladders

Ladders of aluminium are lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. For example, they are ideal for a retail establishment on the sales floor or stockroom area for the employees to access merchandise without struggling with the ladders' bulkiness, as with timber ladders that are heavy and inconvenient to use daily. Another benefit of aluminium is the fact that it is rustproof, even when you store it outside. Our platform ladders in aluminium are durably constructed and the platform provides a safe foothold for the users to stand steadily on the ladder while accessing items. We offer a slimline model along with our standard model of these ladders to use in areas of limited space.

Why Fibreglass Platform Ladders May Fulfil Your Needs

With fibreglass being a non-conductive material, ladders of this material may fulfil your needs better than those of aluminium if your business deals with electrical wiring in structures since they will reduce the risk of shock. On top of this benefit, fibreglass ladders provide additional flame and heat resistance in comparison to both timber and aluminium ladders. Analyse where you will be using the ladders before you decide which ones will suit your purposes in the best manner.

Remember to Protect Workers with the Addition of a Safety Gate

Along with the platform ladders that we offer, we also provide safety gates that are compatible with our ladders. These gates fit securely around the platform area to safeguard your employees each time they utilise the ladders.
