Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are custom-built ladders & access platforms used for?

A: Absolutely. All builds can be constructed to comply with relevant Australian Standards, such as AS/NZS 1657, where applicable.

Q: How long does a custom build take?
A: Lead times depend on complexity, but most custom projects are turned around in days, not weeks. We’ll confirm this when quoting.

A: Yes. You can send us photos, site sketches, or CAD drawings. For larger jobs in Melbourne, a site visit can be arranged.
