5 Tips to Consider When Choosing a Work Platform
You’ve recognized the necessity for a work platform in your facility, a crucial step towards enhancing your operational efficiency. Now, it’s time to dive deeper and define the specific requirements and functionalities that your ideal platform should fulfill. Whether it’s providing ergonomic support to reduce strain on your workforce, ensuring a non-slip surface for safety, or incorporating anti-fatigue flooring to boost productivity, the right platform can transform your workspace.
In a market flooded with various work platform options, pinpointing the perfect match for your needs can be daunting. To simplify your decision-making process, we’ve compiled essential tips to guide you in selecting the optimal solution. Here are 5 things to consider when choosing a work platform:
Setup and Breakdown Time
For many businesses, the ease of assembly and disassembly is a critical consideration when choosing a work platform. In fast-paced environments like warehouses, where every second counts, maintaining focus and efficiency is paramount. Opt for modular platforms that require no tools for assembly, allowing for seamless transitions and swift clean-up.
Coverage
When dealing with expansive floor areas, it’s vital to choose wider work platforms that can cover the entire surface. This not only minimizes tripping hazards but also elevates workers and equipment above potentially contaminated or slippery floors. For more compact spaces, stackable work platforms are an excellent choice. By elevating employees to the correct ergonomic height, you can effortlessly create efficient workstations.
Easily Replaceable Components
Work platforms often consist of multiple components. Selecting a platform with user-friendly parts ensures that any damaged components can be replaced quickly and efficiently, maintaining the smooth flow of your work environment without interruptions.
Environmental Factors
Does your operation require versatility for both indoor and outdoor use? Choose a platform that seamlessly adapts to environmental changes, ensuring uninterrupted operations. Our all-plastic HDPE work Add-A-Level™ or Poly-Riser™ platforms are designed to withstand diverse environments, making them an ideal choice.
Chemical Resistance
Incorporating chemical resistance into your containment strategies is crucial. By selecting a work platform with a non-corrosive composition, you can avoid the hassle and expense of replacing the product in the event of a containment issue.
