Triple-section aluminium extension ladder manufactured to EN131 Professional standard with a 150kg weight rating. Includes a stabilising bar, nylon-coated steel rung guides and a three-year warranty.
Firm, non-twisting platform – With thicker box section stiles
Box section stiles are thicker than cheaper alternatives, increasing stiffness and resistance to twist under load. The heavier section reduces lateral flex when climbing or standing on rungs.
A steadier platform helps users work with greater confidence at height, reducing perceived wobble and improving safety for prolonged tasks.
Smooth extension and storage – With nylon-coated steel rung guides
Rung guides are made from steel and coated with nylon to minimise friction during extension and retraction. The coating helps sections slide more easily and reduces wear on metal parts.
Quicker, less fiddly extension and packing away saves time on site and makes moving the ladder between jobs simpler.
Wider base stability – With supplied stabilising bar
A stabilising bar is included and requires fitting before first use to broaden the ladder's footprint. The bar increases contact area at ground level for improved balance.
Fitting the stabiliser reduces tipping risk on uneven surfaces, giving more secure footing when working on gutters, roofs or external walls.
