Lyte Professional Aluminium Wide Step Ladder - EN131 Certified (NBSWP6)
Lyte NBSWP6 Professional Widestep Aluminium Ladder - The Ultimate Climbing Solution
The Lyte NBSWP6 represents the pinnacle of ladder engineering, combining advanced safety features with professional-grade durability. This 6-tread aluminium step ladder has been meticulously designed to exceed EN131-2 standards, making it the preferred choice for tradespeople, facility managers, and serious DIY enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on worksite safety.
Unmatched Safety Engineering
Every aspect of the NBSWP6 has been optimized for accident prevention. The extra-wide 280mm treads (40% wider than conventional ladders) provide exceptional foot placement stability, while the integrated non-slip surface maintains grip even in wet conditions. The ladder features reinforced bracing at all stress points and a 5-point ground contact system that eliminates wobble during use. Unlike fiberglass alternatives, the conductive aluminium construction includes prominent electrical hazard warnings for appropriate usage scenarios.
Professional-Grade Construction
Crafted from aerospace-grade 6082-T6 aluminium alloy, the NBSWP6 achieves an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. The 1.5mm thick side rails resist bending under maximum 125kg loads, while the cold-forged rivet joints maintain structural integrity through years of heavy use. Compared to steel ladders, our aluminium construction provides complete corrosion resistance without the weight penalty - the entire unit weighs just 7.3kg for easy single-handed carrying.
Worksite Versatility
This ladder excels in multiple professional environments:
- Warehouse Operations: Safe access to high shelving with platform-compatible top tread
- Retail Environments: Stable merchandising and lighting maintenance
- Construction Sites: Compliant with site safety regulations
- Facility Maintenance: HVAC servicing, electrical work, and plumbing repairs
