4 Different Types Of Height Adjustable Maintenance Platforms
If you need a height-adjustable platform for your business, there are lots of different types of height-adjustable platforms to choose from. Here is a quick guide to some of the different options you can choose from when looking for a height-adjustable maintenance platform for your workplace.
#1 Manual Slide Out Extension
This type of work platform is designed to raise up and down using a custom start and stop button. Additionally, it is made so that that the size of the platform can be expanded to fit your needs. Generally, one side of the platform can be pushed out in order to expand the width of the platform a couple of feet. You can manually slide it out and lock it into place. This is great if you have size restrictions in one area where you use the platform but have more space to work with in other areas of your business. This extra space can be used when the platform is raised.

Lowered extended platforms are generally designed to flip or slide open with extra space. This type of platform is designed to be extended primarily when it is in in its lowered positioned. When you raise the platform up, it is designed to be raised at its normal size. You can custom design the deck however you like; you can make it solid or you can make it more mesh-like so that substances can go through the platform.
#3 Tandem Style Platform With A Bridge Walkway
Another type of raised platform is a tandem style platform. With this type of workspace, there are two platforms that are located parallel to them. These platforms are generally longer but not that wide. In between these two different height adjustable platforms, that can be raised together in tandem, a bridge can be dropped between the two. This bridge or walkway can allow your workers to walk between the two platforms. This is good if you need a large work area that you can customize to fit your individual business's needs.
