Product Information

This ladder is made from aluminium alloy and is reasonably lightweight at 13.5 kg, though this is still at the ‘heavier’ end of the scale when it comes to telescopic ladders. For business users, we recommend updating your procurement policies to ensure all future new and replacement ladders comply with the revised EN 131 standard.

Regarding safety features, it’s reassuring to have a ladder that adheres to the BS EN131 standard . This shows the ladder complies with certain safety guidelines. On top of this, the ladder should have built-in safety features such as anti-pinch mechanisms and non-slip covers on the feet.

BS2037/BS1129 Class 1– For heavy duty and industrial use – If you are needing a ladder that is incredibly strong and going to be used every day at work, this is the class for you. If you need a ladder just to use at home, there is no sense in investing in such a robust class. If working on a building side, this may be the one for you. Examples such as these.You will be hard pushed to find a telescopic ladder that is Class 1 certified. The heavy use means that is just doesn’t suit the needs.

This telescopic ladder features anti-pinch finger protection (many ladders will pinch fingers when they are closed up). This ladder is safe for light commercial use, so is good for tradesmen who require one for the odd job here and there (it shouldn’t be used all day every day for continuous use as a tradesperson ideally). Making sure that your extendable ladder has appropriate safety features is one thing, but you can take additional safety precautions when using your telescopic ladder to make it safer.

It is best practice to use new standard ladders, for the safety of yourself or your employees.
