Access Equipment

Multipurpose ladders

The most common use of them is as access equipment for storage or for home or building improvements. Whether you are after ladders for domestic use or business use, we have an option to suit you. From a light telescopic step ladder through to full extendable ladders, there are no jobs too big or small for our access equipment range to handle.

Choosing telescopic ladders for domestic use

For simple reaching on top of cupboards or hard to reach places then a telescopic step ladder or some standard telescopic ladders are ideal. At BiGDUG our range of telescopic ladders are light and compact and easy to store and move around the home. If you need some access equipment for getting to a loft or roof space then we do also stock a great range of extendable ladders which can be used in the home. When choosing ladders for your home, remember that you do need to store them too. If you have a garage or shed then this is great, but if they need to be stored within the house then something compact such as telescopic ladders is ideal.

Choosing access equipment for business use

If the ladders you require are for a business then the options will be greater, as will your requirements. At BiGDUG we specialise in extendable ladders and mobile safety steps which are purposefully designed for use in a warehouse or retail environment. Mobile safety steps in particular are one of our most popular for business use, as they make ideal access equipment for high places or large storage spaces. Our telescopic ladders and telescopic step ladder options can also be used within the workplace. They benefit from being light to carry.

Security with mobile safety steps

The most important thing to remember when using any type of extendable ladders, telescopic ladders and mobile safety steps is the safety and security of the people using the access equipment and the people around them. From a business point of view, there are likely to be heavy loads, which is why it is essential that even if you are not accessing goods from a great height, you should choose mobile safety steps or a telescopic step ladder which can hold the correct weight of goods. Mobile safety steps are also perfect for higher places where larger goods are stores as they include a platform which is designed specifically for warehouse use.

For personal use, safety is just as crucial. When using access equipment in the home you may be on your own so you must be safe. If you can have someone else around it is advisable to do so. When using extendable ladders in particular to access maybe top windows or a loft you should always have another person present.

Storage and moving of ladders

If storage and ability to move is the most important thing, then choosing a telescopic step ladder is your best option. Perfect for home use and light yet strong, a telescopic step ladder can cater for most domestic needs. Extendable ladders are great for higher to reach spaces as they fold down to take up less space, but can obviously be extended as needed.
