How to choose a platform ladder
A platform ladder gives you a flat place to stand at the top, so you can face the work and use both hands. Three choices narrow the range down: height, load rating and material.
Height. The listings run from 0.6 m to 3.6 m. Pick the size that puts the work at chest height without reaching above your head.
Load rating. The retail platform step stools are rated 120 kg, with one extra wide 150 kg stool. The HD P150 riveted ladders are 150 kg industrial. The Pro Punchlock PFS ladders, the P170 job stations and the Pro Extreme range are 170 kg industrial. Count yourself, your tools and any material you carry up.
Material. Aluminium is lighter to carry. Fibreglass is the usual choice near electrical work, because it does not conduct electricity the way aluminium does.
The Bailey Pro AL PFS6 is a 1.8 m aluminium Punchlock model, and the FG P170-6 job station is a 1.8 m fibreglass model. There is also an adjustable height platform ladder and industrial twin platforms in 3 and 4 steps.
Add a castor kit to roll the ladder along a job, or a PFS safety gate kit to close off the platform. Our guide on what to look for when buying an industrial ladder covers ratings in more detail. For simpler jobs, see step ladders.
Platform ladder FAQs
What is the difference between a platform ladder and a step ladder?
A platform ladder has a flat platform to stand on at the top. A step ladder has treads only, so you stand on a step.
What load rating do I need?
Add your weight, your tools and anything you carry. For trade work, the 150 kg and 170 kg industrial models are the ones to look at.
Aluminium or fibreglass?
Aluminium is lighter. Fibreglass is the choice near electrical hazards because it does not conduct electricity.
Can platform ladders be delivered outside Victoria?
Yes. Ladders can be couriered Australia-wide at the rate checkout shows, or collected from Truganina.
