Platform Step Ladders

(95 products)

Platform Step Ladders provide a strong, stable base on which the user can work at height comfortably. This makes them ideal for use in trade as well as DIY jobs around the home. Some of our platform step ladders come complete with bucket hooks and tool trays making it easier for the user to access tools and equipment when working at height. If you are working at height for longer periods of time we would always recommend a podium or enclosed platform, see our podiums & platforms category here.

Feel free to take a look at our Step Ladders - 10 Best Practice Tips to ensure you are using them correctly and safely.

CAN I STAND ON THE TOP OF A PLATFORM STEP LADDER?

When using a step ladder, you can stand on the very top tread if the ladder you are using has a platform. If your step ladder does not have a platform, for example on a swingback stepladder it is advised you do not stand on the top three treads.

IS THE PLATFORM INCLUDED IN THE TREAD COUNT?

When purchasing a step ladder the tread count does include the platform. For example, if you are purchasing an 8 tread step ladder your ladder will have 7 treads and a platform that can be stood on.

HOW IS THE WORKING HEIGHT OF A PLATFORM STEP LADDER CALCULATED

The working height of a step ladder or any ladder for that matter is calculated based on the last available standing height plus one and a half metres. This calculation is approximate and will depend on the users' height.
