Large
truck mechanics looking for a step stool to use in their service
centers will use just about anything they can find that is
conveniently laying around. That includes milk crates, chairs, cheap
flimsy step stools, blocks of wood or anything else that might
elevate them to reach their work. I would like to point out that none
of those items are designed for mechanics to use while working on
large trucks. In fact those items might just cost the mechanic lost
time from work from falling off of them when used as a step stool. It
is human nature to want to use the most convenient item because we
want to get our work done quickly. But using those items as a step
stool may be an accident waiting to happen. Why? Because those items
are NOT designed for a mechanic to stand on! Those items when used as
a step stool can ruin your company's safety record.
Why
not research the web and look for a safe step stool that is designed
for mechanics. A step stool that won't tip over. A step stool that
when oil or grease is spilled on it won't endanger the mechanic
standing on it. A step stool that is tough and durable so it will
last. A step stool that is rated for 500 pounds. A step stool that
will adjust in height so that the mechanic can work comfortably on
trucks that are different heights or he can work on different systems
of the truck.
Does
such a mechanic's step stool exist? And if so why haven't you heard
of it? There is a step stool designed by a mechanic that will solve
your safety nightmare. It is called Shure-Step and the president of
the company, David DuPont, designed it after falling off a milk crate
when he was working on a 4-wheel drive truck. After searching for a
safe replacement step stool for his milk crate and unable to find
one, he designed the Shure-Step.
When
you order your Shure-Step and use it for a few weeks you'll even say
" This is one tough step stool, well worth it's price".
