Height adjustable work platforms have revolutionised how we approach elevated work tasks. From the construction sites of London to the mining operations in Wales, these versatile access solutions provide the safety and efficiency modern workplaces demand. At SafeSmart Access, we’ve spent over two decades developing innovative height adjustable platforms that meet the rigorous demands of UK industry, earning the trust of logistics companies, construction firms, and transportation operators nationwide. What Is A Height Adjustable Work Platform? Height adjustable work platforms are mobile or stationary elevated surfaces that can be modified to different working heights. Unlike fixed scaffolding or ladders, these platforms offer precise height control, typically ranging from 0.5 metres to 12 metres, depending on the model. The key advantage lies in their adaptability. A single platform can serve multiple purposes throughout a project, eliminating the need for different access equipment at various stages. View product range Types of Height Adjustable Work Platforms Mobile Access Steps With Platform The SafeSmart EasyRaise system exemplifies this category perfectly. These low-level platforms (0.5-3m) feature built-in steps and comprehensive guardrails, making them ideal for warehouse operations, vehicle maintenance, and retail installations. The EasyRaise’s innovative design includes integrated tool storage and anti-slip surfaces, proving why it’s become the go-to choice for logistics companies across the UK. Truck Loading Platforms Specialised platforms designed for transportation and logistics applications. SafeSmart’s SafeLoader stands as the UK’s No.1 truck loading platform, revolutionising how goods are loaded and unloaded. With height adjustment from 1.2m to 1.8m, the SafeLoader eliminates the risks associated with climbing into truck beds, making it essential for distribution centres, freight operators, and delivery companies. Mobile Scaffold Towers Medium-height solutions (2-8m) featuring wheels for easy repositioning. Essential for construction projects and mining operations requiring frequent movement. Most models include outriggers for enhanced stability when stationary – crucial

Our recent project with long-standing client SCS JV at their Atlas Road site is a strong example of how replacing traditional scaffolding with a proprietary system can drive significant time and cost savings — without compromising on safety. The Challenge : Ongoing Costs, Inefficiencies, and Safety Risks SCS had been using a scaffold-based bridge on site. While effective at the outset, the system had become increasingly inefficient and costly to maintain: Weekly inspections were required for compliance Design changes or adjustments required booking external contractors, leading to delays The site layout forced teams to navigate around the existing bridge, adding to walk times It was estimated that over a total of 3 man-hours per day had been spent walking around the scaffold bridge It became clear that a better way was needed — a more permanent, streamlined solution that would enhance safety, reduce maintenance time, and improve overall site access efficiency. The Solution : A Fully Integrated SafeSmart System Following a site visit on 7th March, our team worked closely with SCS to understand their operational needs and site constraints. By 24th March, we had designed and quoted a off the shelf solution to replace the scaffold bridge entirely. The SafeSmart solution included: AdaptaSpan – providing a stretcher compliant, direct route over a 15m Span. AdjustaStairs – offering quick and safe access on and off the bridge Double Height Guardrails – for added fall protection, particularly critical high risk areas This proprietary system removed the need for ongoing scaffold inspections, reduced site traffic congestion, and greatly improved worker safety when crossing the area.   The Outcome: Time Savings, Safety Gains, and Long-Term Value The new access system delivered immediate and measurable improvements:

Sites across construction, mining, aviation, energy, and logistics demand fast, flexible solutions for vertical access. Well‑designed temporary stairs  (sometimes called a temporary staircase or portable stairs) delivers a practical solution: Easy assembly in under 20 minutes—no structural steel scaffold bay required. Full stair rail systems with a compliant upper surface of the handrail 1 m above the tread surface. Adjustable legs maintain correct riser height, tread depth, and vertical rise. Built from solid aluminium material, so there are no hidden manufacturing defects. Key point: When the only alternative is ladders—whether step ladders, fixed ladders or improvised job‑made ladders—temporary stairs cut fall risk by 70 % and keep foot traffic flowing. Introducing AdjustaStairs – Lightweight, Adjustable, Temporary Stairs for All Industries For projects that demand rapid deployment and rock‑solid safety, our AdjustaStairs system assembles in minutes, meets BS EN 12811‑1, and adapts to every site—from high‑rise construction to excavation access.
