Youngman has launched an addition to its podium range, in the shape of the new Anti-Surf model. After talking to key clients about market driven issues surrounding safety, it has been designed specifically to prevent users ‘surfing’ with such products. The P1000-AS and P1500-AS models can only be moved once the user has dismounted the platform, and this has been achieved by replacing two of the caster wheels with sturdy rubber feet.

The units have been introduced following reports that some users were compromising safety standards by leaving all four wheels in the unlocked position, to enable them to pull the podium along, or ‘surf’ without first dismounting. The P1000-AS and P1500-AS, which offer working heights of 2.94 and 3.44m respectively, can both pass through a standard doorway prior to being unfolded into their working position.
