Werner introduces the Adjustable Odd Job 600 work platform, featuring eight height settings for stable access on steps, slopes, and uneven trade sites.
Werner has expanded its professional access equipment range with the launch of the Adjustable Odd Job 600 Work Platform. The unit has been developed specifically for trade professionals operating in maintenance, renovation, and general construction, where working surfaces are rarely perfectly flat.
The core feature of the new Odd Job 600 platform is its set of independently adjustable legs. Incorporating eight position settings, the mechanism allows users to level the platform securely on staircases, slopes, and rutted outdoor ground. This addresses a common site hazard where standard fixed-height platforms require unsafe improvised propping or unstable stepladders.
By enabling a level footprint on uneven terrain, the platform aims to reduce fall risks and fatigue during overhead tasks like wiring, plastering, or ceiling installations. The design targets working environments where traditional staging is either too bulky or impossible to set up safely.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For electricians, joiners, and painters who frequently work in stairwells or on domestic renovation sites, this unit solves a persistent access problem without needing to carry separate ladder extensions or full tower scaffolding. Buyers should look for stock landing at major trade counters including Screwfix and Toolstation, alongside independent building merchants. While fixed-leg platforms remain the cheaper option for straightforward indoor work, investing in an adjustable platform makes sense if you regularly lose time setting up safe working positions on stairs or outdoor slopes. When purchasing, check the maximum safe load capacity and folded dimensions to ensure it fits comfortably alongside your existing kit in a standard trade van.
