Hi Tonya,

this is what a close colleague and museum planner recommended for lifting / bringing materials in and out; but it is not a ladder.
Hovmand seems to be in Denmark but sells worldwide; they seem to have distribution partners in New Zealand and Indonesia, so basically "round the corner" down under.

Then there are different platform ladders, but often these are very clumsy and difficult to operate if your isles in the collection are too narrow.

Maybe this is useful?
cheers,
Dirk

Hello again everyone,

I am wondering if any of you have ladder recommendations that you would be willing to share. We are moving to new taller cabinetry for our study skins. The trays are also quite heavy, as they are large and made of powder coat steel. I think I would like some ladders that have a moveable platform on them, in order to be able to retrieve trays from height and then lower them down mechanically. Ideally, they would also be manoeuvrable so that we could easily get them down aisles and around corners in very full collection halls. Any thoughts or recommendations on something like this, or alternatives I should look into, would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Tonya
