Lyte Professional 5-Tread Aluminium Wide Step Ladder for Safety & Durability (NBSWP5)
Lyte NBSWP5 Professional Wide Step Ladder - Premium 5-Tread Aluminium Construction
The Lyte NBSWP5 Professional Wide Step Ladder is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional environments, offering unmatched safety, durability, and convenience. This 5-tread aluminium ladder is designed for those who require a reliable climbing solution that combines robust construction with user-friendly features.
Uncompromising Safety Engineering
Safety is paramount in the design of the NBSWP5. Compliant with EN131-2 certification, this ladder has undergone extensive testing to ensure stability, structural integrity, and load capacity. Key safety features include:
- Extra-wide treads (minimum 90mm depth) with anti-slip surface patterning
- Reinforced bracing at all critical stress points
- Stabilizing bars that prevent lateral movement during use
- Dual-position handrails for secure transitioning at height
Professional-Grade Aluminium Construction
The NBSWP5 utilizes aerospace-grade aluminium alloys, providing the perfect balance between strength and weight. Compared to fiberglass or steel alternatives, our aluminium ladder offers:
- 30% lighter than comparable steel models for easier transportation
- Superior corrosion resistance compared to standard aluminium ladders
- Thermal conductivity that prevents warping in extreme temperatures
- Non-conductive properties for electrical safety (when dry and clean)
Ergonomic Design Features
Professional users will appreciate the thoughtful design elements that reduce fatigue during extended work sessions:
- Graduated tread spacing optimized for natural climbing rhythm
- Contoured tread edges that accommodate work boots comfortably
- Integrated tool shelf at the top platform for convenient access
- Rounded edges and smooth surfaces to prevent snagging or abrasions
