Scaffolding platforms, often referred to as work platforms, are a mechanical device used to provide temporary access for people or equipment to inaccessible areas, usually at height. This type of ladder can also be known as an Ariel Work Platform (AWP), Elevating Work Platform (EWP) and Mobile Elevating Work Platform. They are generally used for temporary, flexible access purposes such as maintenance and construction. Work platforms range from simple, standardised podium steps all the way to fully bespoke and innovative platforms.
