A worker who has to twist, reach, or muscle a load into place all day is one bad lift away from an injury that costs more than the right equipment would have. Platforms and Ladders supplies ergonomic lifting solutions that take the strain out of the job, so a load gets moved safely instead of by brute force. These aren't generic warehouse products. Our cranes, hoists, and manufacturing workstations match the way your team works.
Platforms and Ladders is committed to being your source for your Ergonomic Solutions. This line covers two different problems: getting a heavy or awkward load off the ground, and keeping a repetitive task at a height that doesn't wear out your team. Some of what we carry functions as an ergonomic lifting solution for heavy loads, and some as an ergonomic material handling solution for everyday tasks, all built to OSHA, ANSI, ISO, or ASME standards, depending on the product.
Our products are designed, manufactured and distributed to a wide variety of businesses such as Aerospace, Aviation, Automotive, Building and Construction, Logistics, Manufacturing, Mining, Safety, Trucking and Utilities. Our focus is to provide extreme value to you in your purchase of Ergonomic Solutions, by providing quality products and service second to none.
