Ladders are essential tools in many professional activities, which is why the market offers a wide variety of models and alternatives. Before choosing the ladder that best suits your business, it is important to understand the tasks you will be performing, as not all ladders will allow you to carry out your functions properly. Therefore, if you are looking for a ladder to perform picking, shelf restocking, or retrieving products at height, KTL-Ladders recommends warehouse ladders, which represent the best option for ensuring a comfortable and safe working experience at height. These industrial ladders are commonly used in industrial sectors, factories, logistics centres, or retail stores because they come with a platform that serves as a working area for tasks that require staying at height with all necessary guarantees.
KTL-Ladders’ warehouse ladders are robust and designed for intensive use, allowing for any type of work at height with maximum safety. These ladders are characterized by their durability and ease of transportation. At KTL-Ladders, we understand that most activities in these businesses are carried out individually, which is why our warehouse ladders come with wheels for easy mobility without assistance. Unlike other ladders, they feature a large platform with a toe guard and safety rails that not only allow the worker to handle products at height safely, but also ensure that their stay on the ladder does not pose a health risk. Additionally, they have anti-slip tread steps to minimize the risk of falls and an 85º inclined support section to work close to the shelves while taking up less space.
Sometimes, professionals using warehouse ladders for working at height may have their hands occupied for long periods. For this reason, the ladder models offered by KTL-Ladders ensure a comfortable, stable, and safe ascent and descent, avoiding falls that could cause serious injuries. Moreover, they are designed according to the EN 131-7 Standard, which allows them to support a maximum load of 150 kg and can be adapted to the EN ISO 14122 Standard for machine and facility access.
Recommendations for using warehouse ladders
Before starting the workday, workers should consider a series of requirements and recommendations to ensure the maximum safety of their work
- The total maximum load of the warehouse ladder should not exceed 150 kg, which includes both the worker and their tools, materials, and equipment
- The ladder is only permitted for use by one person at a time
- Always ascend the ladder wearing appropriate footwear
- It is important to perform a thorough inspection before use. Check that all components are in perfect condition and that they are not slippery, loose, or defective
- The ladder must be positioned on a suitable surface, which should be flat and non-slip
- Never use the ladder to transport materials. If you need to move it, ensure that no one is on it
- Ascending and descending warehouse ladders should always be done facing forward to ensure maximum stability and prevent loss of balance
Warehouse ladders provide safe access to higher areas, adapting to professionals’ needs and ensuring a very comfortable and secure working experience at height.
