Used Rolling Ladders

Rolling ladders provide a secure, multi-purpose, heavy-duty platform for use throughout a warehouse, stockroom, library, or anywhere product needs to be reached from high up. While a folding ladder can be easily bumped, shook, or otherwise lose its stability, rolling ladders are specifically designed to not tip when in use or while being moved. Also, unlike extension ladders, rolling ladders do not require a wall to lean against, therefore reducing the chance that it will slip and fall. Handrails on most models add additional security to each ladder, preventing falls and expensive accidents. These types of ladders are easy to transport throughout a warehouse offering great mobility and saving valuable time. Greater freedom to move saves valuable time because workers do not have to take down, relocate, and set up this style of ladders again ultimately increasing the productivity of workers.

About Warehouse Rolling Ladders

Rolling ladders are available in multiple styles and with various safety features to prevent any injury to yourself or your employees. American Surplus Inc. has both standard rolling ladders and tilt-and-roll ladders. A standard rolling ladder has four wheels and can easily roll anywhere around your warehouse or facility. Most 3-6 step ladders are even narrow enough to fit through a standard door frame, so maneuverability is never an issue.

Rolling ladders require some safety mechanisms in order to prevent them from rolling around while in use. Two types of safety measures you will see are step locks and flip-down bottom step locks. A traditional step lock automatically prevents the ladder from moving while in use just by stepping on it. The two casters under the first step recede with the added weight and two rubber stoppers make contact with the floor keeping you snug in place until your weight is removed from the ladder.

A flip-down step lock is similar, however in order to engage the lock you must flip the first step down from a vertical position. In order to disengage the lock, there is a foot pedal which must be depressed, allowing the wheel locks to spring back so the ladder can then be moved.

Tilt-and-roll ladders do not require the need for a step lock, as they only have two wheels. In place of the second set of wheels, the front of the ladder is fixed with two rubber stoppers which keep the ladder in place. To move the ladder to a new position, simply tilt it back and roll forward to the designated spot. Most rolling ladders will come equipped with guardrails to make ascending and descending even easier, and some even have a work table at the top step for added functionality.

Whether you need a simple 3-step rolling ladder to reach those shelves that are just out of reach, or you are looking for a reliable 15-step rolling ladder to reach the top of your pallet racking or the highest spots in your facility, American Surplus has you covered!

Benefits of Rolling Safety Ladders

Rolling safety ladders are a popular choice for material handling in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. These ladders are designed to provide a safe and efficient way to access high shelves or racks, making them an essential tool for any facility that handles large volumes of materials. In this blog post, we will explore the advantages of rolling safety ladders for material handling.

  1. Increased Safety: One of the main advantages of rolling safety ladders is increased safety. These ladders are designed with safety features such as guardrails, non-slip treads, and locking casters to prevent accidents and injuries. This is especially important when handling heavy or bulky materials that require the use of a ladder to access.
  2. Improved Efficiency: Rolling safety ladders can also improve efficiency in material handling operations. With a rolling ladder, employees can quickly and easily move from one location to another, reducing the time and effort required to access materials on high shelves or racks. This can help to increase productivity and reduce the risk of injuries caused by overreaching or straining.
  3. Versatility: Rolling safety ladders are versatile tools that can be used for a variety of material handling tasks. They can be used to access high shelves or racks, as well as to move materials between different locations in the facility. Additionally, they can be customized to meet the specific needs of your operation, with options such as platform size, weight capacity, and ladder height.
  4. Space-Saving Design: Rolling safety ladders have a space-saving design that allows them to be easily stored when not in use. They are designed to be compact and lightweight, making them easy to move and store in small spaces. This is especially important in facilities where space is at a premium and every square foot counts.
  5. Compliance with Regulations: Rolling safety ladders are designed to comply with regulations and safety standards set forth by organizations such as OSHA. They are built to meet or exceed weight capacity requirements and are equipped with safety features such as guardrails, handrails, and non-slip treads. This ensures that your facility is in compliance with regulations and reduces the risk of injuries and accidents.

Rolling safety ladders are an essential tool for any facility that handles large volumes of materials. They provide increased safety, improved efficiency, versatility, space-saving design, and compliance with regulations. If you are looking to improve your material handling operations, consider investing in a rolling safety ladder.
