Star Aluminium folding platforms are built for tradespeople, facility teams and project contractors who need a stable working surface without the hassle of bulky equipment. Designed for quick setup and easy transport, these platforms offer a reliable solution for everyday access tasks across commercial, industrial and maintenance environments.
Folding platforms have become an essential part of modern site operations. Their compact design and strong load capacity make them ideal for situations where a full scaffold or fixed platform ladder would be overkill.
What makes folding platforms so effective?
Quick to deploy: Open and close the unit in seconds with one person.
Space-saving transport: Folds flat for utes, vans and tight storage rooms.
Stable underfoot: Wide base, anti-slip platform surface and secure handrails.
Multiple size options: From 900 mm through to 2400 mm platform heights to suit various tasks.
Lightweight aluminium: Easy to carry while still offering commercial-grade strength.
Worksites across Australia—from warehouses in Melbourne to coastal industrial zones—need equipment that stands up to tough weather, constant transport and frequent use. Star Aluminium folding platforms are manufactured from high-grade aluminium with strong welds and durable fittings suitable for harsh environments.
Key practical advantages include:
Corrosion-resistant construction, ideal for humid or outdoor conditions.
Non-marking feet that protect workshop and warehouse floors.
Designed with safety in mind, supporting stable weight distribution while working at height.
Suitable for trade, warehouse, maintenance and facility crews who need dependable daily-use gear.
Whether you’re replacing lights, servicing machinery, completing racking tasks or handling general maintenance, having the right size platform makes all the difference.
Star Aluminium offers folding platforms in a full range of working heights:
900 mm
1200 mm
1500 mm
1800 mm
2100 mm
2400 mm
This variety ensures there’s a model suited to everything from warehouse operations to construction finishing work.
In warehouse environments, the wider platform surface also offers a practical benefit — workers can briefly place tools, small parts or light equipment on the platform while completing tasks, reducing the need to climb up and down repeatedly. This helps maintain workflow efficiency without compromising safety.
Looking for something larger or integrated with stairs? A dedicated work platform ladder may be a better fit depending on the task.
Every worksite is different, and sometimes standard equipment isn’t enough. Star Aluminium platforms can be customised or modified to suit unique applications.
Typical upgrade options include:
Modified platform lengths
Extended height variations
Optional wheels for easier movement
Bespoke attachments for service, production or inspection tasks
If you need a custom-built solution, Star Aluminium’s engineering team can design a platform specifically for your workflow.
One of the strongest advantages of folding platforms is their convenience. There’s no need for complex assembly, specialised tools or heavy lifting. Workers can move efficiently from job to job, increasing productivity without compromising safety.
What you can expect from daily use:
Smooth folding mechanism
Secure locking points that can be engaged quickly using the built-in foot-operated latch, allowing workers to lock the platform in place without bending or using their hands
Solid footing on uneven surfaces
Comfortable working posture due to wider platform space
Lower fatigue compared to traditional step ladders
Not all folding platforms are created equal. With Star Aluminium, you get:
A full size range for multiple working heights
Durable, commercial-grade build quality
Trusted performance across warehouses, construction sites and maintenance teams
A lightweight but robust platform that lasts for years
If you’re looking for a folding aluminium platform that delivers reliability, height options and the flexibility to adapt to different tasks, Star Aluminium provides one of the most complete ranges on the market. Their folding platforms are easy to carry, quick to set up and engineered to keep you steady while getting the job done.
