Product Information
Full details
The VFM 8-Step Step Ladder is designed for professional tradespeople and homeowners who require a reliable, high-reach solution for maintenance or renovation tasks. Its primary benefit is the combination of a lightweight aluminum frame with the structural integrity of steel, providing a stable platform for work at a height of 1620mm. While it offers excellent durability and stability, users should be aware that its larger 8-step frame requires sufficient storage space compared to smaller, household-only stepladders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety, always place the ladder on a flat, stable, and clean surface before use. Fully extend the ladder until the side rails are locked in place and the platform is level. To maintain the integrity of the ladder, inspect all rivets and treads regularly; if you notice any looseness or excessive wear on the anti-slip treads, discontinue use immediately. Clean the aluminum frame with a damp cloth to remove debris, and store in a dry, indoor location to prevent corrosion or environmental degradation of the metal components.
