subject: Razor Deck: Raise Your Business [print this page] Razor Decks have completely changed the way we work at height on building sites. Not only do Razor Decks give us a chance to work in comfort, they also remove the age-old hassle of losing equipment and tools. Contractors borrow and lend in good faith, but things go missing.What you need is to hire an all-in-one Razor Deck: one that doesn't have parts that can be borrowed, doesn't have bits that can fall off and doesn't have components that can be mistaken for someone else's. Hiring a Razor Deck removes the need for storage space and transportation - your contract hire company will deliver it, so you just have to wheel it into place and start work.The Razor Deck is a one-piece platform that can be used as a step-up at 55cm or can be raised through 1 to 2 metres for easy access to ceilings and walls. The working at height regulations really raised (pardon the pun) contractors' and site managers' awareness of the dangers of working just a couple of steps off the ground, so hiring Razor Decks and podium steps has become the sensible option for most sub-contractors.Despite being 82 kilos, Razor Decks roll easily into position before being locked into place. Using the stabilisers at 45 or 90 degrees to the rectangular base, you can then adjust the levels of the stabilisers for extra safety. With the hired deck ready to go you can simply step through the gate and get started.With no training, you can easily increase your working height to one or two metres, without adding undue risk to your safety record. The tension-sprung hinges raise the Razor Deck's platofrm to your working height with just a gentle push. Working at 1 metre and you access the platform through the guardrail gate, but raise to two metres and the fun begins. The guardrailed platform stays put thanks to fail-safe locks.The Razor Deck is narrow enough to move through standard doors, so it is blissfully easy to move around on site by releasing the brake and pushing it to the next area you need to access.Release the brakes and off you go!
