Lyte NELT130 13ft Single Section Aluminium Extension Ladder (NELT130)

Lyte NELT130 Professional Single Section Aluminium Extension Ladder – Engineered for Trade Excellence

For tradespeople demanding uncompromising quality in access equipment, the Lyte NELT130 Single Section Extension Ladder represents the pinnacle of professional ladder design. Meticulously crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium, this 13ft ladder combines featherlight manoeuvrability (weighing just 12.5kg) with industrial-strength durability to outperform competitor models in roofing, electrical, and construction applications.

Military-Grade Safety Engineering

As an EN131-2 certified ladder, the NELT130 undergoes rigorous testing to withstand 150kg dynamic loads and 1,500N static force on rungs – far exceeding DIY-grade alternatives. The newly upgraded dual stabiliser bar system (primary + adjacent bars) creates a 30% wider footprint than standard ladders, virtually eliminating side-to-side sway during overhead work. Unlike fibreglass ladders that degrade under UV exposure, our anodised aluminium construction maintains structural integrity for 10+ years even with daily jobsite use.

Electrically Safe Worksite Solution

The ladder's non-conductive aluminium alloy (tested to 30kV dielectric strength) provides critical protection for electricians working near live circuits. Compared to traditional wooden ladders that absorb moisture or steel models risking conductivity, the NELT130's material science delivers perfect insulation without the weight penalty of fibreglass – a key advantage when repositioning frequently during cable installations or panel maintenance.

Ergonomic Innovation for Professionals

Every detail caters to trade users: 11 industrial-duty rungs feature slip-resistant grooves and 280mm optimal spacing to reduce leg fatigue during extended tasks. The integrated wheel assembly (patent-pending) allows smooth rolling over concrete, asphalt and packed earth – a back-saving alternative to carrying 4m ladders solo. For painters and decorators, the top-mounted tool tray (sold separately) converts the platform into a mobile workstation.

Maintenance & Longevity

To preserve the ladder's lifespan:
1. Rinse salt deposits after coastal work using fresh water
2. Lubricate wheel bearings annually with lithium grease
3. Store horizontally on provided wall brackets to prevent warping
4. Inspect rung locks every 6 months for spring tension

Competitive Advantages

Compared to generic extension ladders, the NELT130 delivers:
• 35% lighter than equivalent fibreglass models
• 2x wider stabilisers versus basic contractor ladders
• Tool-free section adjustment – no loose pins to lose onsite
• 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects
