Little Jumbo Safety Steps, Platform Steps & Accessories
Little Jumbo is a specialist manufacturer of industrial safety steps designed to eliminate the improvised access solutions — pallets, drums, milk crates, and standard domestic ladders — that cause thousands of workplace injuries in Australian warehouses, factories, and workshops every year.
The concept is simple but critical: a purpose-built, low-level access platform with a wide, slip-resistant tread, stable footprint, and handrail option that gives workers safe, compliant access to elevated shelving, machinery controls, vehicle trays, and overhead work areas without the instability and fall risk of makeshift alternatives. Little Jumbo safety steps are engineered to meet Australian workplace safety standards for fixed and mobile access equipment.
The Little Jumbo range covers multiple step configurations designed for different access heights and workspace constraints.
The standard Safety Steps provide a wide platform with generous tread depth for comfortable standing, while the Step Compact reduces the overall footprint for use in narrow aisles and tight spaces. Models with integrated handrails add fall protection for higher access positions.
The range extends to replacement components including slip-resistant tread surfaces, replacement feet for different floor types, spring-loaded castors that allow the steps to be rolled into position but lock under the operator's weight, and easy-wheeler kits for rapid repositioning across large warehouse and factory floor areas.
AIMS Industrial supplies the Little Jumbo safety step range with Australia-wide delivery, serving warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing plants, and workshops that need compliant, low-level access equipment for daily operations.
For safety managers and WHS officers conducting workplace access audits, replacing non-compliant stepladders and improvised platforms with purpose-built Little Jumbo safety steps is one of the most straightforward risk-reduction actions available.
Our team can advise on step height, platform size, railing options, and castor configurations to match your specific access requirements and floor conditions — ensuring you get the right step for the task without over-specifying or under-protecting.
Across logistics warehouses, manufacturing assembly lines, automotive workshops, food processing facilities, and retail stockrooms, Little Jumbo safety steps provide the everyday access platform that workers use dozens of times per shift.
The spring-loaded castor option is particularly popular in warehouse and distribution environments where the steps need to be moved frequently between picking locations — the castors retract under the operator's weight for stability during use, then allow the step to be rolled to the next position without lifting.
For operations where steps are shared across multiple work areas, the easy-wheeler kit provides a handle and enhanced mobility that transforms the safety step into a truly mobile access platform.
Little Jumbo Safety Steps — Standard, Compact & Railed
The core Little Jumbo product line is the safety step itself — a robust, wide-platform step available in standard and compact footprints, with or without integrated handrails. Every model features a slip-resistant tread surface, stable base geometry that resists tipping, and a platform large enough for the operator to stand comfortably and work with both hands free.
The standard model provides a generous platform for tasks requiring sustained standing access — order picking, machine loading, inspection, and maintenance at moderate heights. The compact model reduces the footprint for narrow aisle access while maintaining the same safety features. Railed versions add a grab rail or full handrail for additional fall protection when accessing higher shelving or equipment.
- Little Jumbo Safety Steps — No Bracket: Standard safety step platform without handrail bracket, providing a clean, unobstructed platform for low-level access tasks where a handrail is not required. The wide, slip-resistant tread surface and stable base geometry provide secure footing for order picking, shelf stocking, machine access, and general elevated work. The no-bracket configuration keeps the overall profile low and unobstructed, which suits environments where the step is used at heights where handrails are not mandated by workplace safety regulations.
- Little Jumbo Safety Steps — Step Compact: Compact-footprint safety step designed for narrow aisles, tight work areas, and spaces where the standard safety step would not fit. The reduced overall dimensions allow the compact step to be positioned between racking rows, in narrow maintenance corridors, and alongside machinery where floor space is limited. Despite the smaller footprint, the Step Compact retains the slip-resistant tread surface and stable base geometry of the standard model, ensuring safe, compliant access in confined work areas.
- Little Jumbo Safety Steps — With Rail: Safety step with integrated handrail providing additional fall protection and support for operators accessing higher shelving, equipment controls, and overhead work areas. The handrail gives the operator a secure handhold during ascent, descent, and while standing on the platform — reducing fall risk and increasing confidence when working at the upper limit of the step's access height. This model is the preferred specification for safety-conscious operations and sites where workplace access audits require fall protection on all elevated access equipment.
Little Jumbo Safety Step Accessories & Replacement Parts
Little Jumbo designs its safety steps as a modular system with replaceable components that extend the life of the step and adapt it to different operational requirements. Replacement tread surfaces restore grip on worn steps without replacing the entire unit. Interchangeable feet accommodate different floor types — rubber for smooth concrete, dome for rough surfaces, and grip variants for tiled or painted floors.
Spring-loaded castors transform a static step into a mobile unit that rolls into position under light push but locks firm under the operator's weight.
The easy-wheeler kit adds a handle and enhanced castor arrangement for operations that need to reposition the step frequently across large floor areas, such as warehouse order picking and production line changeovers.
This modular approach means a single Little Jumbo step can be configured and reconfigured as operational needs change over its service life.
- Little Jumbo Safety Step Feet — Standard: Standard replacement feet for Little Jumbo safety steps, providing secure grip on smooth concrete, sealed floors, and industrial flooring surfaces. The feet are the contact point between the step and the floor, and worn or damaged feet compromise the step's stability and slip resistance. Replacing feet at regular intervals or when visible wear is detected is a simple maintenance action that maintains the safety performance of the step throughout its service life. Supplied as a set for easy replacement.
- Little Jumbo Safety Step Feet — Compact: Replacement feet designed specifically for the Little Jumbo Step Compact model, matching the compact base dimensions and mounting points. Same grip characteristics as the standard feet but sized for the smaller footprint. Regular foot replacement ensures the compact step maintains its full slip resistance and stability on warehouse and factory floors where dust, oil, and moisture can reduce grip between worn feet and the floor surface.
- Little Jumbo Safety Step Replacement Tread: Slip-resistant replacement tread surface for Little Jumbo safety steps. The tread is the standing surface that provides grip under the operator's feet — and it is the component most subject to wear from daily use, foot traffic, dust, and abrasive materials. Replacing the tread restores the step's slip resistance to as-new condition, extending the operational life of the step frame without the cost of a complete replacement. A cost-effective maintenance item for operations with high step utilisation.
- Little Jumbo Safety Step Spring Loaded Castors — 4/Set: Set of four spring-loaded castors that retrofit to Little Jumbo safety steps, converting a static step into a mobile unit. The spring-loaded mechanism allows the step to be rolled into position with a light push, but when the operator steps onto the platform, their weight compresses the springs and the step base contacts the floor directly — providing the full stability of a static step during use. Essential for warehouse order picking, production line access, and any environment where the step is repositioned frequently throughout the shift.
- Little Jumbo Safety Step Easy Wheeler Kit: Complete mobility upgrade kit that adds a push handle and enhanced castor arrangement to Little Jumbo safety steps for maximum manoeuvrability across large floor areas. The easy-wheeler configuration allows a single operator to push the step quickly between work locations — particularly valuable in large warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing plants where the step may be moved dozens of times per shift. The handle provides an ergonomic pushing point that reduces the physical effort of repositioning compared to lifting or dragging the step.
