Lyte Professional Wide Step Aluminium Ladder 7 Tread (NBSWP7)
Lyte NBSWP7 Professional Wide Step Aluminium Ladder - The Ultimate Safety Solution for Professionals
The Lyte NBSWP7 Professional Wide Step Aluminium Ladder represents the pinnacle of ladder engineering, specifically designed to meet the exacting demands of tradespeople, industrial workers, and commercial users. This 7-tread aluminium step ladder combines innovative safety features with professional-grade construction to deliver unmatched performance in high-risk environments.
Uncompromising Safety Engineering
At the core of the NBSWP7's design is its EN131-2 certification, the most rigorous European safety standard for professional ladders. Unlike basic domestic ladders, this model undergoes extensive testing to withstand 150kg dynamic loads, ensuring stability even with heavy tools and materials. The ladder's patented anti-slip tread design features diamond-pattern grooves that maintain traction in wet, oily, or dusty conditions - a critical feature for construction sites and industrial facilities.
Professional-Grade Construction
Manufactured from 6082-T6 aluminium alloy (the same material used in aerospace applications), the NBSWP7 offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The extruded side rails incorporate internal reinforcement channels, providing 30% greater rigidity than standard aluminium ladders. Each of the 7 treads measures 120mm wide (compared to 80mm on conventional models), reducing foot fatigue during extended use. The anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance, making this ladder suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions.
Ergonomic Design Features
The NBSWP7 incorporates multiple user-focused design elements:
- Wide stance geometry with 800mm base width for exceptional stability
- Contoured top platform with tool slot for convenient access
- Dual-action locking mechanism that provides audible engagement confirmation
- Reinforced hinge points with stainless steel components for longevity
- Integrated carry handle for comfortable transportation between job sites

Professional Applications
The Lyte NBSWP7 excels in demanding professional environments: Construction Sites: The wide treads provide secure footing when working with power tools or heavy materials. The aluminium construction won't conduct electricity when working near live circuits. Warehouse Operations: Lightweight enough for frequent repositioning yet sturdy enough for inventory management at height. The non-marking feet prevent floor damage. Retail & Commercial: Ideal for signage installation, lighting maintenance, and shelf stocking. The professional appearance enhances workplace credibility. Industrial Maintenance: Corrosion-resistant properties make it suitable for factories, plants, and offshore applications where chemical exposure occurs.
