S193 Heavy Duty Safety Steps with Plywood Platforms, Handrail & Brake Lever

The S193 Heavy Duty Safety Steps with Plywood Platforms are a UK-manufactured solution for businesses that need to combine order picking, material transport and elevated access in one practical unit. Designed for warehouses, stores, offices and commercial workplaces, these mobile safety steps make it easier to transport multiple items while providing convenient access to higher shelving and storage locations.

The S193 features three fixed recessed plywood shelves, each incorporating a 10mm retaining lip to help keep goods securely contained while the trolley is being moved. This multi-level storage arrangement provides useful capacity for transporting stock, tools, components and workplace supplies.

For safe access at height, the trolley incorporates 5 ribbed-rubber treads with a 1215mm top tread height. A handrail provides additional support when climbing the steps, making the unit particularly useful for repetitive order picking and stock replenishment tasks.

Mobility is provided by two retractable front castors and two fixed rear castors, all fitted with 125mm rubber-tyre wheels and roller bearings. The front castors can be retracted using the hand-operated brake lever, helping prevent the trolley from moving when the steps are being used.

Constructed from welded tubular steel and finished in blue epoxy, the S193 is designed for demanding workplace applications. With a 175kg total load capacity, it provides businesses with a versatile combination of storage, transport and access equipment.
