2. What is a Podium Platform? Let’s break it down. A podium platform is a self-supporting, elevated work platform with a secure standing area, guardrails, and wheels for mobility. Think of it as a much smarter and safer cousin of the ladder. Unlike ladders, where you’re constantly adjusting your balance or standing on narrow rungs, a podium platform gives you a flat, wide platform to stand on, with safety rails to protect you from falling. It’s not just a piece of equipment—it’s a safety-first workspace at height. aqaccess.com
