Lyte 12-Tread Swingback Ladder with Tool Tray (NBSBB12)

Lyte NBSBB12 Industrial Swingback Step Ladder with Tool Tray - Professional Grade Access Solution

The Lyte NBSBB12 Swingback Step Ladder represents the pinnacle of professional access equipment, engineered specifically for demanding industrial environments. This 12-tread aluminium ladder combines exceptional load-bearing capacity with innovative convenience features, making it the preferred choice for tradespeople, facility managers, and industrial maintenance teams across Europe.

Uncompromising Industrial Construction

Manufactured from premium 6082-T6 aluminium alloy, the NBSBB12 offers an optimal balance between strength (150kg load rating) and portability (14.5kg weight). The 1.5mm thick side rails feature box-section construction with internal reinforcement at stress points, while the 32mm diameter rungs utilize cold-forging technology for exceptional durability. Unlike fiberglass alternatives, this aluminium construction provides superior resistance to workplace impacts without the weight penalty.

Advanced Safety Engineering

Compliant with EN131-2 Professional standards, this ladder incorporates multiple safety innovations:

• Serrated tread surfaces with diamond-pattern embossing (slip resistance >0.75 coefficient)
• Automatic locking spreader mechanism with dual-stage engagement
• Stabilizer crossbar increases base width to 780mm for enhanced stability
• Bright safety yellow powder coating with reflective warning labels
• Non-conductive materials tested to 1000V AC dielectric rating

Professional-Grade Tool Management System

The integrated 300x200mm tool tray features:

• 15mm raised perimeter lip to secure tools and small parts
• Magnetic strip along front edge for metal tool retention
• Drainage holes to prevent liquid accumulation
• Reinforced mounting brackets with vibration-dampening bushings

Compared to standard ladders, this system can reduce tool retrieval time by up to 40% according to workplace efficiency studies.

Ergonomic Design Features

The NBSBB12's swingback mechanism allows the ladder to fold to just 280mm depth for storage while maintaining a sturdy 78° working angle. Key ergonomic benefits include:

• 275mm tread depth with 225mm rise spacing for natural climbing rhythm
• Contoured top platform with textured standing surface
• Dual-position tool tray (front or side mounting options)
• Integrated cable hooks on rear rails

Maintenance and Longevity

Proper care ensures decades of reliable service:

• Monthly inspection of all pivot points and locking mechanisms
• Annual lubrication of hinge pins with dry PTFE spray
• Clean treads weekly with mild detergent (avoid abrasive cleaners)
• Store in dry conditions away from chemical exposure
• 5-year structural warranty against manufacturing defects

The anodized finish resists UV degradation and maintains visibility even after years of outdoor use.
