Full Product Overview

The Zarges Nova S Professional Aluminium Stepladder is a robust, versatile platform stepladder designed for tradespeople, maintenance professionals and DIY users who need reliable access equipment for everyday working-at-height tasks.

Combining durable aluminium construction with comfortable wide treads and a practical standing platform, the Nova S offers an excellent balance of strength, convenience and portability.

Manufactured to comply with EN 131 Professional and carrying TÜV SÜD certification, the Nova S is suitable for both professional environments and demanding household applications.

One of its standout features is the 80 mm deep serrated aluminium treads, providing a substantial climbing surface compared with narrower traditional ladder steps. The textured tread profile helps improve grip when climbing and descending.

At the top, a 250 × 250 mm standing platform provides a practical working position for decorating, maintenance, installation and general access tasks.

An integrated plastic storage tray keeps tools, screws, fixings and smaller components conveniently within reach, helping reduce unnecessary trips up and down the ladder.

The Nova S features a robust flanged tread-to-stile connection, combining extruded aluminium profiles with a durable platform construction to provide dependable strength during regular use.

For additional stability, the ladder is fitted with slip-resistant plastic end caps, helping provide secure contact with suitable firm and level surfaces.

Models with seven treads or more incorporate high-strength polyester anti-splay straps with sewn attachment tabs, helping maintain the correct ladder position when fully opened.

The enclosed rung profile and integrated guide tube are further features of the ladder's practical, robust design.

Despite its professional construction, the Nova S remains convenient to transport and store. The range folds to approximately 120 mm deep, making it particularly useful where storage space is limited.

Available in seven sizes from 3 to 10 treads, the range offers platform heights from 610 mm to 2130 mm, with manufacturer-stated working heights reaching up to 4.15 m.

With a 150 kg maximum load capacity and 10-year manufacturer's warranty, the Zarges Nova S provides a dependable and versatile access solution for both professional and domestic applications.
