Safety Platforms Ltd is pleased to announce that our wide folding work platform (hop up) has been reduced from £69.00 to £64.00.
The platform is 600mm wide and 800mm long and with heights of 500mm and 600mm available. The wide folding platforms are EN131 rated and have a solid bottom bar to the legs which makes it one of the safest platforms on the market.
Having a bottom stabilizing bar means that it has much greater stability than other folding work platforms (hop up)that just stand on 4 articulating legs. Older designs of platforms are susceptible to legs falling down on uneven surfaces, also when used on scaffolding sites these single leg designs can slip through scaffolding boards causing potential fall hazards.
Please be aware that many Aluminium folding work platforms (hop ups), both budget and higher value platforms are not always EN131 rated

which means they are only suitable for DIY use and are not recommended for site use! The wide folding platforms other major feature is the locking mechanism which gives the user confidence that when legs are locked into place they will stay locked, and not collapse as some cheaper platforms are prone to do.
