Product Information

Full details

The Excel Tools 300 x 600mm Fibreglass Heavy Duty Platform Folding Hop Up is designed for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts needing a stable, insulated, and portable work platform for low-level tasks. Its key benefit is providing a safe and accessible working height for jobs like decorating, GRP fibreglass work, or general maintenance, with a robust 150kg load capacity. A potential consideration is its fixed working height of 480mm, which may not suit all tasks.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this hop up can support?

The Excel Tools Platform Folding Hop Up has a maximum working load capacity of 150kg.

What are the dimensions of the platform?

The platform measures 600mm in length and 300mm in width.

What is the working height of this hop up?

The working height provided by this hop up is 480mm.

Is this hop up suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, provided the ground is level and firm. The fibreglass construction is resistant to weather elements.

Can I use this hop up near electrical sources?

Yes, the fibreglass construction makes it insulated and suitable for use around electricity. Always adhere to site-specific safety regulations.

How does it fold for storage?

The legs fold flat, allowing the entire unit to collapse into a compact form for easy storage and transport.

What maintenance is required?

Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and periodic inspection of hinges and legs for wear or damage are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Hop up is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure the hop up is placed on a completely level and firm surface. Check that all four legs are fully extended and that the locking hinges are securely engaged. Inspect for any damage to the legs or frame.

Hinges are stiff or difficult to lock.

Gently clean the hinge mechanisms to remove any dust or debris. A light application of a silicone-based lubricant can help, but avoid over-lubricating. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the hinges from locking.

Fibreglass surface appears damaged.

If the damage is superficial, it may not affect performance. However, for significant cracks or delamination, discontinue use and consider replacement for safety reasons.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unfold the platform by carefully extending the legs until they lock into place. Ensure all four legs are fully deployed and stable on a level surface.
Verify that the locking hinges have engaged securely before placing any weight on the platform.

Compatibility:

This hop-up platform is designed for static, low-level work.
Its fibreglass construction makes it suitable for use in proximity to electrical sources, however, always follow site-specific safety regulations.
It is compatible with most standard indoor and outdoor working environments, provided the ground is firm and level.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe down the platform and legs with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the fibreglass or non-slip surface.
Inspection: Regularly check the locking hinges and leg mechanisms for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure all parts move freely.
Storage: Store the folded hop-up in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures, to maintain its material integrity. Ensure it lies flat to prevent warping.
