Lyte 10-Tread Fibreglass Swingback Step Ladder (NGFBB10)

Lyte NGFBB10 10-Tread Professional Swingback Step Ladder

The Lyte NGFBB10 Swingback Step Ladder is a premium-grade access solution designed for professionals who prioritize safety, durability, and performance. This 10-tread fibreglass ladder combines exceptional build quality with innovative safety features, making it an indispensable tool for industrial, commercial, and trade applications.

Unmatched Safety Features

Engineered to meet EN131-2 safety standards, this ladder incorporates multiple protective elements. The fibreglass construction provides essential non-conductive properties, crucial for electrical work or environments with potential electrical hazards. Each of the 10 treads features anti-slip surfaces with serrated edges for maximum foot grip, even in wet conditions. The included 4-pack replacement rubber feet ensure ongoing stability across various surfaces, from concrete to tile.

Professional-Grade Construction

Built with industrial users in mind, the NGFBB10 utilizes high-strength fibreglass that offers superior durability compared to aluminum alternatives. The material resists corrosion, weathering, and impact damage while maintaining a manageable 12.5kg weight. Reinforced stiles and tread joints provide exceptional load capacity up to 150kg, accommodating both user and tools.

Ergonomic Design Advantages

The innovative swingback mechanism allows for compact storage and easy transportation. When folded, the ladder reduces to just 1.2m in length, fitting comfortably in most work vans. The 10-tread configuration provides a working height of approximately 4.5m, ideal for most industrial tasks without requiring bulky extension ladders.

Comparison with Alternative Ladder Types

Unlike aluminum ladders, the NGFBB10's fibreglass construction eliminates electrical conductivity risks while providing comparable strength. The swingback design offers superior space efficiency compared to traditional step ladders, and the 10-tread configuration provides more working positions than typical 8-tread models. When compared to combination ladders, this model offers simpler operation and lighter weight for dedicated step ladder applications.

Maintenance and Longevity

To ensure maximum service life, regularly inspect all components for wear. The included replacement feet should be installed when original feet show 50% wear. Clean treads monthly with mild detergent to maintain anti-slip properties. Store in a dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use. With proper care, the NGFBB10 typically delivers 7-10 years of professional service.
