- Anti-Slip Rungs: Each step is designed with a deeply serrated tread pattern to provide maximum grip, even when wearing work boots.
- Stay-Open Spreaders: Equipped with high-tensile locking spreaders that prevent the ladder from accidentally closing while in use.
- Non-Marring Feet: Features heavy-duty, slip-resistant rubber feet that provide stability on various surfaces (tiles, concrete, grass) without leaving scuff marks.
- Double Riveted Construction: The steps are double-riveted to the side rails for enhanced structural integrity and to prevent "ladder sway."
Usage & Safety Tips
- Level Ground: Always ensure all four feet are on firm, level ground. Never use "blocks" or bricks to level a ladder.
- The "Three Points of Contact" Rule: Maintain two feet and at least one hand on the ladder at all times while climbing.
- Top Step Safety: Avoid standing on the very top step or the pail shelf unless the ladder is specifically designed for it; use the lower steps to maintain balance.
- Avoid Metal Near Electricity: Being aluminium, this ladder is highly conductive. Do not use near live electrical wires or during thunderstorms.
