Product Information

Full details

The BPS Fibreglass Platform Step Ladder is a robust access solution designed for professional tradespeople and serious DIY enthusiasts who prioritize safety and electrical insulation. Its primary benefit is the non-conductive fibreglass construction paired with a high-capacity 150kg rating, though users should be mindful that the fibreglass build makes it significantly heavier to transport than equivalent aluminium models. This ladder is built for demanding environments, featuring an oversized platform and integrated storage for tools.

FAQs

Is this ladder safe for electrical work?

Yes, the fibreglass construction is non-conductive and tested up to 30,000 volts.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The ladder is rated for a maximum load of 150kg, including the user and tools.

Does it meet the latest safety standards?

Yes, it is certified to the EN131 Professional standard.

Can I use this ladder outdoors?

Yes, but store it indoors or under cover to protect the fibreglass from UV rays and weather damage.

How do I clean the fibreglass rails?

Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.

What should I do if a foot becomes worn?

Inspect the anti-slip feet regularly; if they show significant wear, contact the manufacturer for compatible replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

Ladder feels unstable during use

Ensure the ladder is on a flat surface and the locking lever is fully engaged.

The platform is difficult to lock into place

Check for debris near the hinge or locking mechanism and clear it away; ensure the ladder is fully opened.

Visible surface 'blooming' or fibres on the side rails

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and consider applying a clear wax or lacquer to seal the fibreglass and prevent further degradation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Electrical insulation up to 30,000 volts
  • Professional-grade EN131 certification
  • Large, stable standing platform
  • High 150kg load rating
  • Built-in convenient tool storage

Cons

  • Heavier than aluminium ladder alternatives
  • Fibreglass material is less portable for frequent travel
  • Requires careful storage to prevent surface damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the ladder, ensure it is placed on a flat, level surface. Open the ladder until the platform is horizontal and engage the locking lever completely. Always verify that all four anti-slip feet are making full contact with the floor before ascending.

Care Instructions:

  • Regularly inspect the side rails for any cracks or surface damage (blooming).
  • Keep the ladder clean of oil, grease, or paint, as these can obscure damage or make the surface slippery.
  • Store in a dry environment protected from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the fibreglass materials.
  • Never store heavy items on the ladder while it is folded, as this may distort the frame.
