FAQs

What is the primary safety advantage of GRP stiles?

GRP stiles provide excellent electrical insulation and reduce the risk of sparks, making the ladder safer for use around electrical installations.

What is the maximum weight capacity of these steps?

These steps have a maximum load rating of 150kg, suitable for most professional applications.

Are these steps suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are suitable for outdoor use on stable, level ground. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions should be avoided, and the steps should be stored dry.

How do I calculate the approximate working height?

The approximate working height is typically estimated as the platform height plus two or three steps (about 2 meters). For these steps, with a 1.41m platform height, the approximate working height is 3.40m.

What does EN131 professional standards compliance mean?

Compliance with EN131 professional standards indicates that the ladder has met rigorous safety, durability, and performance requirements set for professional use.

Yes, all sizes come with a 10-year guarantee.

Can I get these steps delivered to a business address?

Troubleshooting

Steps feel unstable

Ensure the steps are placed on a perfectly level and firm surface. Check that the locking side arms are fully engaged and that the non-slip feet are clean and in good condition.

Treads are slippery

Clean the aluminum treads with a damp cloth to remove any dust, grease, or debris. Ensure you are wearing footwear with adequate grip.

Locking mechanism is stiff

Inspect the locking mechanism for dirt or obstructions. Gently clean the moving parts and consider applying a small amount of dry lubricant if recommended by ZARGES maintenance guidelines, ensuring it does not affect grip.

GRP stiles have minor scuffs

Minor cosmetic scuffs on GRP stiles usually do not affect structural integrity or electrical insulation. Clean with a damp cloth. If deep gouges or cracks are present, discontinue use and contact the manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These platform steps are designed for immediate use upon delivery. Ensure the locking side arms are fully engaged before ascending. Position the steps on a firm, level surface to ensure maximum stability. The non-slip feet should make solid contact with the ground.

Compatibility: The ZARGES GRP Platform Steps conform to EN131 professional standards, making them compatible with most professional work environments that adhere to these safety regulations. They are suitable for use on solid ground and are intended for single-person use up to the 150kg rating.

Care: To maintain the longevity and safety of your steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the GRP stiles and aluminum treads with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the material.
  2. Inspection: Regularly inspect the stiles, treads, and locking mechanisms for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Check that rivets are secure and the feet are intact.
  3. Storage: Store the steps in a dry, protected area when not in use. Ensure they are closed properly to prevent damage and accidental opening.
  4. Usage: Always adhere to the 150kg load rating and use the steps on a stable, level surface. Do not overreach; move the ladder if necessary.
