If what you need to reach cannot be accessed from a ladder on the sides, you can use a small (4'x4') piece of luan or plywood to spread the weight over a larger area, but with the manufacturers constantly looking for ways to build these units cheaper and lighter, I would try to avoid too much time or movement especially on any manufacturers entry level product lines.
I do feel that a 5/8" thick plywood board about 2.5 feet square will suffice. I would cut 2 pieces and screw on a simple screen door handle in the middle of each to maneuver one while kneeling on the other.

This is the type of screen door handle I am referring to.
