Lyte NGFBP4 Fibreglass Platform Step Ladder (NGFBP4)

Lyte NGFBP4 Professional Fibreglass Platform Step Ladder - Industrial-Grade Performance

The Lyte NGFBP4 Platform Step Ladder represents the pinnacle of professional access equipment, combining cutting-edge safety features with rugged durability. Engineered specifically for demanding industrial environments, this 4-tread fibreglass ladder delivers unmatched performance where electrical hazards and heavy-duty use are daily challenges.

Uncompromising Safety Engineering

Every aspect of the NGFBP4 complies with the rigorous EN131-2 European safety standard, ensuring:

• Tested stability with a 150kg maximum load capacity
• Non-parallel rung design prevents incorrect setup
• Automatic locking braces that engage when opened
• Bright safety labels with clear usage instructions
• Independent third-party certification for all safety claims

The ladder's glassfibre construction provides inherent electrical insulation properties, making it the only safe choice for electrical work. Unlike aluminum ladders that conduct electricity, the NGFBP4 offers protection up to 30kV when dry and properly maintained.

Professional-Grade Construction Details

Lyte's proprietary manufacturing process creates a ladder that outperforms competitors:

• Reinforced fibreglass stiles: 38mm x 25mm profile with 3mm wall thickness
• Aluminum rungs: 25mm diameter with anti-slip grooves
• Platform construction: 5mm thick fibreglass with textured surface
• Hardware: Stainless steel bolts and rivets throughout
• Feet system: Replaceable rubber feet with steel reinforcement plates

The ladder's dimensions (height: 1.83m, platform height: 1.22m) provide optimal reach while maintaining stability. Weighing just 8.2kg, it offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio for easy transport between job sites.

Specialized Features for Professional Users

Electricians, facility managers, and industrial maintenance teams will appreciate:

• Integrated tool tray: Molded into the platform for small parts
• Kickplate protection: Prevents damage to lower rungs
• Contoured handrails: For secure grip when ascending/descending
• Reflective markings: Enhanced visibility in low-light conditions
• Chemical resistance: Withstands oils, solvents, and industrial cleaners
