Commercial Stock Picking Ladders

Time is money in every area of business, but in some areas, time is more critical than it is in others. Inventory control is one of those areas. Consistent work flow literally means dollars and cents you either save or lose. Stock picking ladders help you manage inventory more quickly, efficiently and safely by giving your workers stable platforms they can easily climb and stand on while doing their jobs.

These units are perfect for small warehouses, stores that narrow aisles, and even heavy traffic areas. They are built to be mobile and compact so you can position them in places you cannot put larger ladders. They are designed with sturdy steel construction, and they are built in full compliance with OSHA 1910.29 & ANSI A14.7 regulations.

Constructed with handrails that employees can hold on to when they climb and stand on the unites, they are incredibly stable and safe to work on in any retail or industrial environments. A number of features make each commercial ladder very mobile, ergonomic, and highly practical for all stocking operations.

To start with, all steps on all stock picking ladders are exactly 24” across. This gives a worker just enough to stand on both feet and balance. You can also order steps with optional safety treads if additional precautions are needed.

Unit heights are from 92 inches to 122 inches. Platform heights are between 50 inches and 80 inches. Different models, of course, come with different numbers of steps. The smaller units have only 5 steps, while the largest units have 8. Every model, though, has a total weight capacitance of 350 pounds and a shelf capacity of 300 pounds.

Mobility is essential in the inventory control business. Nothing is a bigger hassle and more time consuming than having to lift the ladder and manually move it over to the next spot. Lifting also results in back and shoulder strain which no organization wants to risk.

To make things easier on staff, stock picking ladders are built with the same construction features as other types of steel rolling ladders. They are made with sprung casters that allow them to be rolled over the floor and then locked in place by rubber feet when a person climbs the steps. You can easily position them even in the tightest corners and more narrow of aisles with minimal risk of injury.

Many manufacturers also build powered stock picking work platforms that run on 12V marine batteries and winches. Push button controls mounted at the top of the platforms make these models easy to control. Bottom limit switches stops shelves automatically at the top and bottom of the units.

Companies in both warehouse distribution and store front retail sales have consistently reported improved efficiency in inventory control and fewer worker accidents after they made a reasonable investment in stock picking ladders.

Easy Rack has commercial aluminum walk ramps in several sizes with accessories to meet your material handling needs.

Aluminum walk ramps provide an excellent means of safely moving heavy loads to and from your truck at locations using hand trucks or dollies. Our heavy duty commercial grade walk ramps feature an overlapping style that rests on the truck bed to hold the ramp securely in position. Walk ramps are very handy for landscapers, concrete contractors, carpenters and other craftsmen who frequently move heavy machines and equipment between job sites using trailers. Why use your back or risk getting hurt when you can use a ramp? Think about it!

Easy Rack's aluminum walk ramps come in several sizes and options to meet your material handling needs. The adjustable height wheel option, for example, is ideal for use with longer walk ramps. The height can be adjusted with a simple manual hand crank mechanism. The wheels are 10" x 31⁄2" pneumatic and are strategically located at balance points on ramp allowing for one-person positioning. The minimum ramp lowered height with this walk ramp option is 12".

EasyRack has Cart Options that provides for easy one-person ramp positioning and transportation. Just pull the handle up to rotate and lock wheels and lower the handle to allow for easy ramp movement. Push handle down to unlock and lift wheels so ramp can be used to service lower trailers. Pneumatic wheels are 10" x 31⁄2". Minimum ramp service height is 14" with this option. This accessory option requires easy bolt-on installation.

The open deck design of our walk ramps allows snow, ice and water to fall through ramp providing a positive grip for delivery men, shippers and receivers. The ramps are 100% welded aluminum construction, light-weight and will not rust. Ramps feature a 2" high safety curb on each side. Each unit includes two safety chains to connect ramp to trailer for safety.

Easy Rack also carries both essential and specialized material handling equipment designed to move product safely and quickly across floor space. We carry hand trucks, standard dollies, and pallet jacks for normal-size pallets and crates. We also supply specialty material handling carts and utility carts that prove very effective in moving specialized and sensitive equipment. For larger payloads too difficult to move safely with muscle alone, we also carry the latest models in electric pallet jacks and gasoline powered pallet trucks to provide that extra bit of power needed to avoid injury and quickly move materials without delay or damage. Need commercial lighting fixtures to go with those material handling supplies?
