Thread: Best Options for Podium Steps Hire?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to hire podium steps for an upcoming project and could use some recommendations. I need a sturdy and safe option, ideally with handrails, for working at height. It’s for a short-term job, so buying isn’t practical.

Does anyone have experience with reliable hire companies or specific brands that offer good quality and reasonable rates? Also, any tips on what to look out for when hiring podium steps?

I want to make sure they meet safety standards and are easy to transport.

Does anyone have experience with reliable hire companies like Lakeside Hire or specific brands that offer good quality and reasonable rates? Also, any tips on what to look out for when hiring podium steps?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Where abouts are you and what height and size of working platform do you need?

I reckon it would work out cheaper to buy 2nd hand and re-sell on completion, as opposed to hiring. There's always loads on eBay.

A few years back I needed Heras fencing, worked out a lot cheaper to buy used (around 10 for £60) instead of hiring them, and on completion I would have been prepared to take them down the tip if I was unable to re-sell. In the event I resold for a tenner each.
