Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do the rollers on the WEDO SuperStep work?
The stool features spring-loaded castors. When you push it, it rolls freely. When you step on it, the castors retract, and the stool sits firmly on its non-slip rubber base ring for maximum stability.
2. What is the difference between the color models?
Functionally, all WEDO Roller Stool SuperStep models are identical. The color options (black, white, red, blue, grey) allow labs to match their existing aesthetic or use color-coding to designate equipment for specific zones.
3. Is the surface of the step stool easy to clean?
Yes, the plastic and rubber construction of the WEDO SuperStep is designed to be wiped down with standard laboratory detergents, helping maintain hygiene in clinical or research settings.
4. Are these stools suitable for use on tiled lab floors?
Absolutely. The base of the WEDO stool is designed to provide a secure grip on a variety of hard flooring surfaces common in laboratories, including tiles and linoleum.
