An increasing problem within the road haulage industry is how safe access is gained onto the back of a lorry or trailer. Drivers have become worryingly adept at climbing up onto the lorry wheels or balancing on the tips of forklift forks. Carrying out a risk assessment of how safe access should be gained invariably leads to needing a mobile access safety ladder.We have developed a mobile walk through access ladder. This 4 step mobile ladder has a platform height of 1000mm and is fitted with 2 substantial 200mm nylon wheels and 2 smaller 100mm diameter wheels housed in swivel castors allowing easy movement. On the side is mounted a brake lever which disengages the smaller wheels when in use allowing a safe stable platform. Also fitted is a safety rail at the top and safety notice on the side.
