Lyte NGB250 Double Extension Ladder for Industrial Use (NGB250)
Lyte NGB250 Double Section Extension Ladder - Industrial-Grade Access Solution
The Lyte NGB250 Double Section Extension Ladder represents the pinnacle of professional access equipment, engineered specifically for demanding industrial environments. As part of LytePro+'s premium range of access solutions, this aluminium extension ladder combines exceptional strength with practical functionality to meet the rigorous needs of tradespeople, contractors, and facility managers.
Professional-Grade Construction
Manufactured from aerospace-grade 6082-T6 aluminium alloy, the NGB250 offers an optimal balance between lightweight portability (just 14.5kg) and structural integrity. The ladder's box-section stiles provide 30% greater torsional rigidity compared to standard C-section designs, ensuring superior stability during use. Each of the 2x17 anodised rungs features anti-slip grooves and meets the 1kN load requirement of EN131-2 certification.
Advanced Safety Features
Safety is paramount in the NGB250's design. The ladder incorporates:
- Positive locking hooks that engage automatically when extended
- Dual-component non-slip end caps with 85° shore hardness for optimal grip
- Bright yellow safety labels indicating load capacity and usage instructions
- Rung alignment indicators for proper section engagement
- Reinforced tie rods at stress points to prevent splaying

Industrial Applications
The Lyte NGB250 excels in numerous professional scenarios:
- Construction Sites: Reaching scaffolding, roof access, and exterior finishing work
- Warehouse Operations: High bay storage retrieval and racking maintenance
- Facility Management: Lighting maintenance, HVAC servicing, and building inspections
- Industrial Maintenance: Plant equipment access in factories and processing facilities
Comparison with Alternative Ladder Types
Unlike fibreglass ladders that add unnecessary weight (typically 25-30% heavier) or wooden ladders prone to warping, the NGB250's aluminium construction provides:
- Superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to timber or fibreglass
- Complete electrical neutrality (when dry) unlike conductive metal ladders
- Better weather resistance than wood or steel alternatives
- More compact storage than fixed-length ladders of equivalent reach
Maintenance and Longevity
To ensure decades of reliable service:
- Inspect rung locks and feet before each use
- Clean with mild detergent after exposure to corrosive substances
- Store horizontally on racking or vertically with proper support
- Lubricate pulley mechanism annually with silicone spray
- Avoid exposure to temperatures exceeding 60°C (140°F)
Regulatory Compliance
The NGB250 meets or exceeds:
- EN131-2:2017 Professional Use Ladder Standards
- UKCA and CE Marking requirements
- Work at Height Regulations 2005 (UK)
- OSHA 1926.1053 standards (US equivalent)
Why Professionals Choose the NGB250
Contractors consistently select this model for its:
- Precision-engineered components with ±0.5mm manufacturing tolerances
