WHDP HEAVY DUTY WORK PLATFORM

STEP 1: Platform to Back Leg Frame
Fit 4 x M10 x 20mm bolts into holes at the non-ladder end, on both sides of the
platform. Finger tighten with the nyloc nuts to the inside of the platform. (1)
STEP 2: Platform/Ladder Back Leg Frame
Lay the platform frame top down on a flat surface with the ladder frame facing up.
Note: the ladder may need temporary support on larger models.
STEP 3 Platform to Back Leg Frame
Attach the back leg frame to the ladder/platform frame by sliding the bolt heads into the slots in the frame
extrusion. (3) Bring the two components together and firmly tighten the nyloc nuts (4) The ends of the two
pieces of extrusion must be firmly touching each other with no gap. Note: a soft headed mallet may be used
carefully to help position the ends. (5) The angle between the back leg frame and the ladder platform
must be 90º. Note: if side outriggers are to be fitted to the platform then insert 4 M10 x 20 standard bolts into
the extrusion slots on both sides of the back leg frame before attaching the frame to the platform.
Tools Required
• Carpenters square
• Socket wrench or impact driver
and 17mm socket
• Soft-headed mallet
• 17mm ring spanner

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 4: Bottom Side Braces
The Side braces attach to the inside faces of the back leg (6) and ladder (7) frames. Insert T-Bolts into the holes
in the bracket end plates and finger tighten 10mm nyloc nuts to the T bolts. Insert the T bolt heads into the slots in
the ladder frame extrusion, twist clockwise to lock them and tighten the nuts firmly.
Note: The Bottom side braces must be 90°to the back leg frame and the inside faces of the brace
end brackets must sit firmly against the inside faces of the ladder and back leg frames. (8)
STEP 5: Mid Side Braces
On the WHDP07 and larger platforms, add a pair of second side braces midway between the bottom side braces
and the underside of the platform, attaching them to the frames using the same technique as the bottom braces,
with T-Bolts fitted through the bracket end plates welded to the braces. Attach 10mm nyloc nuts and tighten
firmly. Note: The Mid Side braces should be 90° to the back frame and the inside faces of the brace
end brackets must sit firmly against the inside faces of the ladder and back leg frames.
STEP 6: Platform Guardrails
Insert T-Bolts into the holes in the handrail mount plates, attach and finger tighten 10mm nyloc nuts to
the bolts as in step 4. Fit the side guardrail frames to the platform side extrusion by inserting the T bolt heads into
the slot in the extrusion as shown (9), (10). Twist the T bolts clockwise and firmly tighten the nyloc nuts as in step
4. Repeat this step for the guardrail on the opposite side of the platform (11).
Note: Ensure the T-Bolts attaching to the back leg frame are tightened first (10).
Attach entry gate to the post at the top of the ladder frame using the hardware already attached to the gate.
Insert the end of the bolt into the receiving hole in the handrail post, fit the large washer and nyloc nut to the bolt
inside the post and tighten firmly. Insert the cap into the top of the post to complete the gate assembly.
Ensure the exit swing gate pin engages correctly with the receiving latch on the post.
STEP 7: Ladder Guardrails
Insert T-Bolts into the bracket at the base of the ladder handrails
and attach and finger tighten nyloc nuts to the bolts. Fit the head
of the T-Bolts into the slot in the ladder frame extrusion at the
base of the ladder and twist the bolt anti clockwise to lock it into
the slot (12), attach the top channel to the handrail post at the
top of the ladder (13). Fit the M8 x 55 bolt through the holes in
the channel and post and tighten the nyloc nut firmly. Complete
the process by tightening the 10mm nyloc nuts firmly on the
T-Bolts at the base of the ladder frame.
STEP 8: Final Adjustment
Stand the ladder on its feet and ensure all nuts are firmly tightened and the ladder is firm and level on
the support surface. Ensure that the heads of all T bolts are locked into place within the extrusion.

Check each bolt end to ensure there are no more than two turns of thread showing past the nyloc
nut. Note: The support surface that is used to ‘set’ the platform must be exactly level to ensure the platform
doesn’t ‘rock’ when in use. If the platform does ‘rock’ a little, loosen the bolts attaching the platform/ladder frame
to the back leg frame; ‘settle’ the platform and re-tighten.
STEP 9: Planbrace
WHDP07-11: These models have a 40 x 15mm extrusion Planbrace which attaches to the underside of the
bottom side braces, on each side across the plan of the ladder. Nuts are preset into the base of the bottom side
braces which the M8 x 40 button head bolts are inserted into. Tighten the bolts firmly into the nutserts.
STEP 10: Corner Braces
WHDP04 - 11 models have a corner brace each side that attach to the base of the
platform side extrusion and the back slot on each back frame stile. Position them at
an equal 45º angle, attach with T-Bolts and tighten 10mm nyloc nuts firmly.
STEP 11: Stabilizer Arms
WHDP09 - 11 may have stabilizer arms fitted.
These are to be used at all times unless the platform is closely
adjacent to a fixed structure. The various components attach
to the back frame using using M10 x 20 bolts, (sliding plates),
T-Bolts, (side arms) and nyloc nuts. If the M10 x 20 bolts have
not been inserted into the slots in the sides of the back leg
frame prior to assembly they may be inserted now by removing
the foot cap..
Note: the stabilizer arms must be resting firmly on the
support surface and the nyloc nuts holding the slide
plates firmly tightened before use. The pictures show
an arm engaged (14) and closed (15).
STEP 12: Wheels
The Platform has two wheels to enable it to be relocated easily. These are attached
to the front of the back leg frame using T-Bolts and nyloc nuts (16). The wheel
should rest lightly on the support surface before the nyloc nuts are tightened.
Note: ensure the back leg frame base is still firmly resting on the support
surface after the wheels have been attached.
The manufacturers or supplier will not accept liability for injury or damage resulting from product failure
due to misuses, abuse, faulty installation and alteration, lack of reasonable care, lack of adequate training,
use not listed under these Operational Safety Instructions or any other failure not related to defects in
materials or manufacture.
