FAQs
What is the maximum load capacity of this ladder?
The ladder has a maximum load capacity of 150kg, suitable for professional use.
Is this ladder suitable for DIY use?
Yes, while designed for professionals, it can be used for DIY tasks. However, its robust construction might be more than typically needed for light home use.
What does EN131 approval mean?
EN131 is the European safety standard for portable ladders, ensuring the product meets rigorous safety and performance requirements.
How do I ensure maximum safety when using the ladder?
Always place it on a stable, level surface, ensure it's at the correct angle, maintain three points of contact when climbing, and avoid overreaching. Use the stabiliser bar and level gauge to your advantage.
Can this ladder be extended?
No, this is a single-section ladder and cannot be extended. For greater heights, an extension ladder or multi-purpose ladder would be required.
What is the safe working height?
The ladder has a length of 3.05m, enabling a safe working height of approximately 3.65m, assuming correct positioning and user height.
Troubleshooting
Ladder feels unstable.
Ensure the ladder is on a completely level and firm surface. Check that the wide stabiliser bar is fully engaged and its anti-slip feet are clean and in good condition. Verify the ladder is positioned at the correct angle against the wall.
Rungs feel slippery.
Clean the square rungs with a damp cloth to remove any oil, grease, or dirt. Ensure the rungs are completely dry before use. For added grip in very damp conditions, consider using work gloves.
Ladder level gauge is difficult to read.
Ensure the surface the ladder is leaning against is clean and free of obstructions. Wipe the gauge if it appears dirty. The gauge is an aid; always visually confirm the ladder's angle for safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the ladder is placed on a firm, level surface. Position the ladder at the correct angle (typically a 4:1 ratio of distance from the wall to the working height). Use the integrated ladder level gauge to confirm accurate positioning. Extend the ladder to the desired height, ensuring it is securely resting against the work surface.

Store the ladder in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
