Abbey Folding Scaffold Platform Ladder 0.87m Platform height EN 131

The ladder/platform is well made. Easy to erect and collapse. It is easy to store as it doesn’t take up much space. I found it very sturdy and easy to move round with the two wheels fitted. I used the platform to reach my van roof so I could clean it. The platform height is perfect for me. Overall a great product. Great company to buy from with good communications throughout.

Although it took me a moment to work out how to assemble, once I understood how everything went together (the instructions could be clearer, particularly the images) it was very quick to assemble and very well worth the effort as this offers a well built and stable platform from which to work. This was bought to facilitate the painting of a 3m high ceiling and it has made that easy. As quite a large price of equipment when open, I had concerns about how easy it would be to move and where to store it. However those were immediately resolved as I found, that although sturdy when locked in the set up position, when folded up (extremely easy) it was a compact size and light to wheel around. I am glad that the other reviews meant that I chose this option; it is exactly what I have been needing for years but didn’t know existed.

Proper instructions on how to assemble would have been helpful. The platform itself is very good and sturdy.

Very impressed solid when unfolded. Light weight to move around. A simple set up. Easy to store doesn't take up much room. The safety bar is great and easy to fix in place. Going to be used a lot from decorating to clearing the gutters of a bungalow. Absolutely fabulous value for money.

I'm a big fellow and this is a superb piece of kit. I was using it when fitting 168 roof planks to a shed. Very light, sturdy easy to move and fold in and out.⁹. Absolutely superb and way better than the other ones that are longer and are non folding. I borrowed one of those and nearly fell off it. All round excellent. Superb value for money for the diyer.

Easy to put together although the instructions could be better,solid & well made with wide legs for stability. The platform is level with my hip when I stand next to it so when I'm standing on it I can easily touch my very tall ceilings with bent arms, when folded they are the same size as regular step ladders and have wheels to move around.. The price does not reflect the quality of this product. A must buy item 😀

There were no reviews on here when I bought this although there were 2 on ebay (same price as here) giving a combined rating of 4.5. I have not used it in anger yet as it is for cutting hedges and pruning an old apple tree. Assembly is easy as you just have to fit the stabiliser legs and wheels using 2 spanners (not supplied obviously) and then the top rail when you go into action, which is by knurled knobs. I chose this design as I already have a ladder so did not want one of those combi 5-way jobs which look rickety and fiddly. This feels sturdy as the cross braces are permanently fixed. Also it folds nice and flat for easy storage. Dimensions are on the amazon page. The folding mechanism is smooth but I will lubricate it each time it's used to keep it this way. I am very happy with the finish - no sharp edges, and standing on the platform it feels sturdy. Will be pruning after Christmas so if there is anything to add I will.

the only criticism is its a little unsteady when you climb on as it tips over when you use the side rungs. But its steady enough and for the price is a good product
