For step ladders, look for: certified standards (like EN131 Professional), high load rating (150 kg is trade standard), anti‑slip treads, stable feet, durable materials (e.g., GRP if you’re working near electricity), and storage/portability features. The Trade GRP Swingback Step Ladder meets all these criteria.
Yes — especially when made from non‑conductive materials like GRP. This model’s fibreglass stiles are rated to 30,000 volts, which means the risk of electrical conduction is greatly reduced compared with standard aluminium step ladders.
Choose based on the working height: for a step ladder, check the number of treads and the corresponding open height. Ensure the ladder is stable when open. This model comes in multiple tread lengths (4, 5, 6, 8, 10) so you can pick the one that safely meets your working height without over‑reaching — crucial for safe step ladder use.
Store folded in dry conditions and avoid exposure to extreme weather.
‑ Before each use, inspect the treads, hinge, locking arms, and feet for wear or damage.
‑ Keep the treads clean and free of debris to maintain anti‑slip performance.
‑ Ensure locking stays are fully engaged before climbing.
A well‑maintained step ladder lasts longer, stays safer, and ensures you get full value from your investment.
