Step Stools

Step stools can be an asset to school libraries. Rather than librarians having to strain, balance on chairs, or run to the supply room for a ladder, they can simply roll the stoll into place for easy reshelving. This great tool also makes it easier to read titles on high shelves so desired books can be located quickly.

A step ladder is absolutely essential in a supply room. Because things are constantly being put on shelves and taken down, it is important to always have an easy way to get to them. When choosing a ladder for your supply room, it is important to make sure that it will provide access to the highest shelves. If, as in many schools, churches and offices, your supply room is really packed, a folding step ladder is a good choice because it conserves space when not in use.

It might even be worth considering having step stools in classrooms. This is an especially good idea if your learning spaces have high bookshelves or storage cabinets. When each classroom has its own easy way of accessing all materials in the room, teacher’s won’t have to know what they need so far in advance, call someone for help, or leave the classroom to retrieve a stool or ladder.

While both step stools and stepladders can help you reach high spaces, each model has its own distinct features and benefits. A step ladder provides access to items on higher levels. Many of our models have weight-activated retractable casters which make it easy to roll ladders into place, but also maintain stability when there is someone standing on the ladder.

Safety is too important to be overlooked when purchasing any furniture. While all of our models are built for security, some include extra features to ensure maximum safety. Handrails help to maintain balance, especially when one is standing on a high step. This is an especially important feature if you need to reach items that are high up. Non-skid steps are also an important thing to consider because they minimize the risk of tripping, sliding and falling, by keeping feet firmly planted.

If the items you need to reach are never very high up, but still too high to be safely and easily accessed without a bit of extra leverage, rolling step stools are definitely an excellent option. They are designed for super easy transport and stable standing. Rolling stools never need to be lifted, but can simply be kicked to the desired location. Retractable casters ensure that stools will not roll when a person is standing on them, but enable them to be moved without any manual adjustments when there is no weight on them. Both our Balt and Cramer stools are wonderful choices for any space.

The Kik-Step Rolling Stool takes both safety and convenience to the next level. Bumpers all around the unit ensure that stools, walls, shelves and other furniture will not get damaged when they are moved. Non-skid treads ensure that feet stay firmly planted as items are taken down or returned to the proper location. The Kik-Step comes in an array of bright colors, which will add a fun feel wherever you keep it and make it easy to find when needed.

You can never underestimate how helpful it is to have a step stool or step ladder close at hand. With Hertz Furniture’s secure, user-friendly models you can retrieve virtually anything you need quickly and safely. This convenient item will make a great addition to your institution, whether you use it on a daily basis, or you keep it around “just in case”.
