Workers need to stand for longer spells of time at greater heights. For those who are into a risky job that demands standing at a height of 8-10 feet at the construction site or even more are vulnerable to fatal head injuries and bone fractures. Conventional ladders having small rungs can give immense pain to the knees of the users that almost kills the feet. There is the pressure of staying balanced and in the process one uses one hand to lean over the ladder and hold on to it, causing undue pressure to the shins. Construction jobs turn out to be an incredibly annoying job when one needs to use both the hands, trying to balance over small rung. Platform ladders by equip2go.com.au are gaining popularity owing to the presence of platform at the topmost step. The top rail acts as a guard or a bar that is set around 2’-2.5’ above the top platform, allowing the worker to stabilise while working. Size of such ladders depends on the height of the platform that ranges between 3’-10’.

Platform ladders are highly advantageous for the worker has the scope of getting a comfortable working area. Working area is spacious and there is no need for laying stress on shins. Platform carries tread that is slip-resistant that offers the traction one needs. With such ladders one can turn around without any dread of falling over and it is the guardrail that provides bar for keeping one balanced. There is an added advantage of the platform for it allows one to free up both the hands to focus completely on the construction work. Feet can be planted upon the nice level place.

Platform ladders are the safety ladders that often comes with casters joined with it so that one can wheel the ladder round and there is no need for folding up the ladders. Handrails are attached with the mobile ladders and the casters allow one to step on the ladder and the caster gets locked until one tries to step off. Workers do not need to worry at all when working with such ladders. There is no need for setting brakes and one can work conveniently.

The materials that are used for making of such ladders can be either aluminium or fibreglass. Fibreglass platform ladders by equip2go.com.au are suitable for the ones who are into the electrician job for there is the need to change ballast.
