Importance of Ladders and Steps
Manually operated racking systems are the most common type of shelving in intralogistics. To be able to use the highest levels in these systems, ladders, and steps are used. These aids can be used at heights up to 3 meters. There are different types of ladders and step stools suitable for different applications in the warehouse. These include, for example, extension ladders, stepladders, platform ladders, step stools, or folding steps. The choice depends on height, access, and other specific requirements. A special type of ladder often used in warehouses is the platform ladder. Platform ladders are ladders with a platform or landing at the top. They provide a more stable working surface and allow employees to safely place tools or materials when working at height.
