We know, it sounds
very corny to say "the prices
are too cheap", but
believe or nor not, lots of
people do say our mobile
steps seem too cheap!
Why? We are an
actual manufacturer of these
mobile steps. We produce a
large range of mobile safety
ladders, mobile
roll pallets and
trolleys that are
completely made here in
Kettering. As a company, we
took the decision to
market these direct to the
end user, primarily through
the internet, and such have
had to price accordingly. We
do not really use
distributors or agents for
our mobile steps which is
the main price differential
for the mobile ladders.
We manufacture the
individual tread steps using
an automated robot welding
station giving us good
economies of scale. The
sides of the mobile ladders
are produced in bulk and
held in stock until an order
is placed, and then the set
of mobile steps is assembled
to order and spray painted.
We also price the mobile
steps without delivery. We
use a local haulier and we
are charged by pallet space
to various zones around the
country. The mobile steps
are rigid welded structures
and as such are bulky items
meaning the usual pallet
networks will not carry
them. It is a cost out of
our control and is passed on
to the customer at cost
