What to do with difficult “working at height” issues

Health & Safety

A lot of businesses are wrestling with awkward working at height situations that have in the past been accessed by a standard ladder or other (at times dubious) pieces of equipment. With the safety authorities now viewing this trusty old ladder, and other unconventional shortcuts as unsafe to work from, these same situations that were no bother before, are becoming real posers.

That’s exactly why Equiptec developed their ever increasing fleet of VRS Platforms. VRS, an acronym of Vertical Rise Steps, has now grown to answer multiple challenges in a big range of industries. As every VRS model has an adjustable range of platform heights, they are both ergonomic and multi-use. A diverse fleet in three different ranges now covers almost any application from 700mm to 5m platform heights, from workshops to stores to construction sites, and there is very likely to be a perfect answer to your access problems within the comprehensive line-up. 

And now, Equiptec is pleased to introduce another new VRS platform… the VRS Monkey 24. With an adjustable platform height range of 1.2m to 2.4m, this unit is ideal for the trucking industry, equipment workshops, warehouses and factory applications etc. 

Not only are there a lot of models, but also an awesome range of options that extend the VRS adaptability even further, and help to customise to your exact requirements with off-the-shelf designs. And the development never stops! There is more innovation coming through the Equiptec design team as you read this, so, don’t limit yourself – whatever your height issue, take an efficient step forward – contact Equiptec today.
