The right access equipment depends on the task. A ladder suits short jobs, but long work or anything that needs both hands calls for a platform, because a worker on a ladder cannot keep three points of contact and use both hands on the task. A scaffold tower suits extended work at a set height, where a full deck justifies the build time. A podium platform suits tasks that stay at one fixed height.
EasyRaise suits work where the height changes from task to task. Among mobile access platforms, it gives the worker a 1000 x 1000mm deck with both hands free, and the taller configuration reaches a higher platform height: 1.2m to 2.4m on the 4-step, up to 1.9m to 3.8m on the 7-step.
The manual winch raises and lowers the deck in 282mm increments, so the worker stops the deck at the height the task needs, not at the nearest fixed setting. Four configurations set the range:
Each configuration reaches roughly double its starting platform height, so one EasyRaise covers a spread of tasks that would otherwise need several fixed platforms. Cantilever reach increases as the platform is raised, so the deck extends further as the height goes up.
As a height adjustable work platform with a manual winch and a mobile base, the same unit can be set for one task, moved to the next workstation and set again for a different task, within its configuration’s platform height range, without changing platform.
On jobs that cover several workstations, a platform that cannot be moved only serves the one it was set up at. EasyRaise is a mobile platform with locking castors, so it can be moved between workstations as the task changes and then locked where required.
Lever brakes hold the unit in position while the work is done. The standard locking castors can be upgraded to solid rubber. Retrofit forklift channels make it easy to lift and move the unit over longer distances, where rolling on castors isn’t practical.
Maintenance and manufacturing. Reaching a machine at a changing height is routine maintenance and manufacturing work. EasyRaise is wound to each point and moved to the next machine, so the same unit serves each one. SafeSmart UK also supplies a maintenance platform for access to plant and machinery.
Warehousing. Inspection along a warehouse aisle needs a platform that moves from bay to bay on locking castors and holds still where the work is.
Mining and heavy plant. Access to heavy plant and equipment needs a deck at the height of the task, set by winch within the 1.2m to 3.8m platform height range. Mining sites and workshops service large machines where inspection points, filters and components sit at very different heights. EasyRaise is set to the height of one service point, then moved to the next machine and reset, so a single unit covers a low inspection and a higher repair without a change of platform.
Transport. Vehicle workshops face the same spread of heights on a single bay: wheel-level, body-level and roof-level tasks on buses, trucks and other vehicles. The deck is set to the task, locked on its castors, then moved to the next vehicle or the other side of the same one.
Aviation. In aviation, maintenance staff set the deck to the height each task needs. Because cantilever reach increases as the platform is wound up, the deck extends further as the height goes up, which suits access over rounded or protruding obstacles such as aircraft fuselages and noses. The unit moves between aircraft positions on its locking castors and is locked where the work is carried out.
| Specification | Detail |

| 4-step platform height | 1.2m to 2.4m |
| 5-step platform height | 1.4m to 2.8m |
| 6-step platform height | 1.7m to 3.5m |
| 7-step platform height | 1.9m to 3.8m |
| Platform size | 1000 x 1000mm |
| Safe working load | 225kg |
| Adjustment | Manual winch, 282mm increments |
| Material | High-grade aluminium |
| Castors | Locking, upgradeable to solid rubber |
| Manufacture | ISO 9001-certified facility, New Zealand |
EasyRaise complies with the BS EN ISO 14122 series. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recorded falls from height as 31 of 126 worker fatalities in 2025/26, around a quarter of the total and the risk the Work at Height Regulations (WAHR) address. SafeSmart UK monitors and maintains compliance with WAHR for each product. WAHR is the regulatory framework the equipment is used under, not a certification.
SafeSmart Access has operated in the UK since 2007 and has supplied leading contractors including Kier Group, Sizewell C, Costain, Laing O’Rourke and Balfour Beatty.
