An apparatus on which a user with hands can stand comprising: a platform having a first end and a second end and a handle, the handle is disposed in the platform, the handle has a first slot and a second slot adjacent the first slot, the first and second slots (24, 26) disposed essentially in the platform's middle, the platform has a centerline and a center of gravity, the first slot is disposed on a first side of the centerline and above the platform's center of gravity and the second slot is disposed on a second side of the centerline and above the platform's center of gravity, the slots are sized to conform to the dimensions of a user's fingers and are symmetric so as to be for use with either hand; a first leg assembly rotatably attached to the platform in proximity to the first end; and a second leg assembly rotatably attached to the platform in proximity to the second end, when the first and second leg assemblies (20, 22) are essentially in parallel with the platform, the apparatus is in a folded state, when the first and second leg assemblies are essentially perpendicular to the platform, the apparatus is in a use state and the user is able to stand on the platform and be supported by the first and second leg assemblies (20, 22), when the apparatus is in the use state, the user is able to pick up the apparatus by the handle with only one of the hands without tipping the apparatus, characterized by handle inserts (44, 46) of molded plastic located in the slots (24, 26), the inserts (44, 46) being configured to cover up any potentially rough edges remaining after slots are formed in work platform decking and to provide a deeper gripping surface for the comfort of the user, wherein the apparatus is able to support at least 250 lbs. (113.4kg) of load. a platform having a first end and a second end and a handle, the handle is disposed in the platform, the handle has a first slot and a second slot adjacent the first slot, the first and second slots (24, 26) disposed essentially in the platform's middle, the platform has a centerline and a center of gravity, the first slot is disposed on a first side of the centerline and above the platform's center of gravity and the second slot is disposed on a second side of the centerline and above the platform's center of gravity, the slots are sized to conform to the dimensions of a user's fingers and are symmetric so as to be for use with either hand; a first leg assembly rotatably attached to the platform in proximity to the first end; and a second leg assembly rotatably attached to the platform in proximity to the second end, when the first and second leg assemblies (20, 22) are essentially in parallel with the platform, the apparatus is in a folded state, when the first and second leg assemblies are essentially perpendicular to the platform, the apparatus is in a use state and the user is able to stand on the platform and be supported by the first and second leg assemblies (20, 22), when the apparatus is in the use state, the user is able to pick up the apparatus by the handle with only one of the hands without tipping the apparatus, characterized by handle inserts (44, 46) of molded plastic located in the slots (24, 26), the inserts (44, 46) being configured to cover up any potentially rough edges remaining after slots are formed in work platform decking and to provide a deeper gripping surface for the comfort of the user, wherein the apparatus is able to support at least 250 lbs.
