Work Stand Ladder FAQs

What is a platform ladder?

A platform ladder is a portable ladder with a platform manufactured at the highest standing level. Platform ladders come with a hinged design and length that's non-adjustable. Platform ladders can come in a wide range of heights and are intended for just one user at a time. Shorter platform ladders typically range from 2-4 feet in height.

Which ladder is free standing/self supporting?

Platform ladders are free standing, to allow users a way to stand on a flat surface while performing work. Thanks to their hinged design and non-adjustability, they stand firmly on the floor and ground and don't require leaning against the side of a building or against the wall.

Why use a platform ladder?

We recommend using platform ladders to help you stand and work easily. These ladders provide plenty of space for your tools while you work. Thanks to their versatility, stability, and durability, a platform ladder is the perfect solution for many types of work.
