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.

Choosing the right commercial ladder for your project is no laughing matter. It may save your life!

Did you not sign up for the newsletter? It plainly says, working on a ladder of any type can be hazardous to your health! Ladders and step ladders on average account for 14 deaths and over 1000 serious injuries to workers each year. Many of these injuries are caused by improper or faulty use of ladders and associated material handling equipment. The best ladder safety, plan and simple, is common sense.

First, know when to use a ladder, then decide how to go about selecting the right sort of ladder for the particular job. Experts are convinced that mishandling of ladders at work can be partly explained by the way they are used in the home. As with all work equipment, users need sufficient information and training to be able to use ladders and stepladders safely. It it looks dangerous, it probably is.

When considering whether it could be appropriate to use a ladder or step-ladder, you need to consider the following factors:

Only use a ladder or stepladder in any one position for a maximum of 30 minutes to prevent fatigue or dizziness.

Never use commercial wheel risers to elevate your vehicle or work on a ladder that is not on solid ground. This mean do not put ladders on vehicles to extend your reach. That is the easiest way to get yourself hurt.

Know the weight limitations of your ladder and under no circumstances should you overload a step ladder or ladder from your body weight plus anything they are taking up the ladder.

Never lean over and overreach from the ladder. It is best to keep your belt buckle inside the stiles and both feet on the same rung throughout work being done. Practice safety!

When working on commercial ladders or household stepladders, you should avoid work that imposes a side loading, such as side-on drilling through solid materials (e.g. bricks or concrete), by having the steps facing the work activity. Where side-on loadings cannot be avoided you should prevent the steps from tipping over, for example by tying the steps to a suitable point.

Only use a commercial grade ladder or telescoping extension ladder on firm ground or spread the load on level ground by using a plywood sheet.

Never work on a ladder that is close to overhead power lines, unless the power company or electrician has made them dead or protected with temporary insulation.

When working by a roadway or near vehicular traffic, always use safety cones or barricades to prevent injury. Practice safety!

Never stand on the top rung of a step ladder that does not have handrails or some other means of preventing falls.

It is advisable to not climb or use ladders in strong or gusting winds.
