Stairs and step ladders.

[chris kennedy]

I'm looking for one of those things you put on stairs to make a platform for a step ladder. I have been to the Werner site and our local ladder house site with no luck.

Anyone know what those are called?

Thanks

LOL:grin:, I was looking for something a bit more OSHA compliant. I have a bunch of concrete cutting and chipping to do over stairs.

Hey Chris, glad you laughed. The best set up IMO is the Little Giant ladder. I bought one just for working over stair wells and it rocks.

How do you do that cool thing where you change the link to one blue word?
I'm still in the US by the way.

Just get a Little Giant ladder.

Added: Or what Dave said.

Are you looking for something like this, but stationary? Smaller?

 

[chris kennedy]

I am, I need to be facing the wall, not facing up or down the stairs as I would be on a little giant.

I am going to search through Baker Scaffolding and see what they have. Let me make sure I am looking for the right thing. You want a lightweight, portable platform that adjusts to stairs and is wide enough (say 4 ft) to set a ladder on, correct. You do not want to mess with conventional scaffolding.

Yes, thanks D. I'm cutting and chipping vertically in many locations so I was looking for a platform that once adjusted to the risers it could be quickly moved up and down the treads. I have seen these before, but for the life of me I can't find one.

You want a platform that will level out a stairway so you can set a ladder on it?

Why not just get a ladder that adjust to the stairs?

Ken meet Chris, the OP.

An extending plank like painters & drywallers use, streched between a stair/landing and a ladder sounds like a Gee-whiz solution.

Oh, wait. Scratch that. It's aluminum. Better find a nice safe steel Bakers scaffold.

 

[ohmhead]

Well Chris we always use a scaffold with adjustable legs adjust for your step to step level planks and put plywood on top nail it .

Two guys can move it up and down .

Put ladder on top with AL

Opption 2 = Boatswain chair hung from bar joist if you got them or rigg a steel cable up there and swing al across the wall.

The chairs today are osha safe they come with a seat belt .

AKA Bakers Scaffold.

 

[ohmhead]

Well Chris just one more thing if Ohsa is around town which is unlikely but just to be safe hand rails must be used and toe boards on each side.

But iam thinking also ladder on top of a scaffold thats not wider than 6 foot on each side you must be tied off meaning harness .

Dont hold me to this Chris it maybe our site there real ######## i cant say it but you know what i mean .

Too small, he wants a full platform. Good call otherwise.
