Step ladders: models, sizes and specifications

Updated

Step ladders stand on their own, without leaning on anything, for indoor and low-level outdoor jobs. Platform models have a large top platform and handrail so you can stand at the top safely.

Which model is right for you?

  • Home Master Compact Aluminium: light, slim step ladder for the home (100kg).
  • Trade Platform: EN131 platform step for trade and home (150kg).
  • Trade Master Pro Platform: heavier-duty EN131 Professional platform step (150kg).
  • Trade Master Pro Fibreglass: non-conductive to 30,000V, for electrical work.
  • Industrial Platform and Swingback: EN131 Professional steps for site use.
