Getting the Best Use from Our Mobile Platforms
With proper use and maintenance, mobile platforms can simplify your workflow considerably and can even boost productivity levels. These platforms are ideal for a variety of industrial settings, including not only warehouses but also auto repair shops and even some types of office environment.
Mobile platforms are safe and convenient to use, but it is important for you and your employees to take the time to learn how to operate them correctly. Upkeep and safety matters are paramount for all individuals who use or are in the presence of mobile platforms on a frequent basis.
For example, since our mobile platforms come in a wide variety of sizes and types, all personnel who actually use the platforms should be well-versed in their rated loads. It’s important not to exceed that weight, and also important to keep in mind not only the weight of the user but also the weight of any equipment he or she brings onto the platform.
Appropriate surfaces are essential for smooth sailing with mobile platforms as well. It's imperative for these platforms to be used on level, sturdy surfaces, so users won’t be vulnerable to slipping and trauma.
Fasteners that are threaded are often a big element of mobile platforms. The fasteners that produce these platforms have to be in line with certain specifications and able to lock on their own.
With a little care and maintenance, and taking the time to use this equipment with safety in mind at all times, our mobile platforms can help you maximize your workplace’s productivity and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile Ladders
-
Mobile platforms, often called mobile work platforms or industrial mobile platforms, are elevated, moveable work surfaces designed to provide safe, stable access to hard-to-reach areas in warehouses, plants, stockrooms, and industrial facilities. Built with wheels or casters, they can be easily repositioned wherever they’re needed, making them ideal for tasks that require both height and flexibility.
They’re commonly used for equipment maintenance, accessing refrigeration or HVAC units, loading and unloading trailers, reaching elevated control panels, stocking inventory, or giving supervisors a secure elevated vantage point. Diverse Supply offers a wide range of rolling, adjustable, and custom mobile platforms to support both everyday operations and specialized applications.
-
A rolling platform includes heavy-duty locking casters that allow workers to move the unit smoothly throughout the warehouse, then secure it in place during use. Standard mobile work platforms may have wheels for transport but are designed to remain stationary during operation. Rolling platforms are ideal for facilities where employees frequently move between aisles, equipment bays, or trailer access points, while stationary platforms are preferred for repetitive tasks in fixed locations.
-
Yes. All Diverse Supply mobile platforms are fully OSHA-compliant, including step geometry, railing height, tread material, and load capacity. Our platforms are engineered to meet or exceed OSHA 1910 standards for ladders, stair systems, and elevated work surfaces. Many models also meet IBC requirements or can be custom-built to satisfy site-specific safety regulations.
-
Diverse Supply offers aluminum, painted steel, and stainless steel mobile platforms:
Aluminum platforms are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to maneuver, making them ideal for humid environments or frequent relocation.
Painted steel platforms offer excellent strength and are the most cost-effective option.
Stainless steel platforms are best for food processing, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom environments due to their high durability and sanitary properties.
Your choice depends on load requirements, environmental exposure, and mobility needs.
-
Yes, many of the mobile platforms we offer come with a wide range of customizable options. Most models can be configured with different step counts, platform sizes, handrail styles, and height adjustments, allowing you to choose a setup that fits your specific space and workflow.
Because every warehouse and work environment is different, our team takes the time to understand your layout, safety requirements, and daily tasks. We can help you sort through hundreds of available configurations to find the model that best suits your needs. With durable construction and OSHA-focused safety features, these platforms are built to last and provide long-term value.

-
Most industrial mobile platforms are rated between 300 and 1,000 pounds, depending on material, design, and platform size. It’s important to consider both the worker’s weight and any tools, equipment, or materials being carried onto the platform. Exceeding the rated load can compromise safety and shorten equipment lifespan. Diverse Supply provides clear load-rating documentation for every platform to ensure safe operation.
-
An adjustable-height mobile platform uses mechanical, hydraulic, crank, or scissor systems to raise or lower the platform to suit different tasks. These are ideal for environments where employees work at varying heights, such as servicing trucks, trailers, machinery, HVAC units, or production equipment. Adjustable platforms improve ergonomics, reduce strain, and allow teams to work safely without makeshift stacking or unsafe climbing.
-
High-quality mobile work platforms should include:
Non-slip tread (perforated, serrated, or ribbed) to prevent slips
OSHA-approved guardrails and handrails
Secure locking caster wheels or tilt-and-roll mobility
High-visibility steps and stable foot pads
Wide platforms large enough for tools and movement
Diverse Supply platforms are engineered with these safety features, ensuring stability even in fast-paced industrial environments.
