Lyte NGLT230 Double Extension Ladder for Trade (NGLT230)

Lyte NGLT230 Professional Trade Double Extension Ladder - The Ultimate Access Solution

The Lyte NGLT230 Double Extension Ladder represents the pinnacle of professional access equipment, engineered to meet the exacting demands of trade specialists across multiple industries. This EN131-2 certified aluminium extension ladder combines exceptional load capacity (150kg) with intelligent safety features, making it the preferred choice for contractors who value both performance and worksite safety.

Uncompromising Build Quality

Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminium alloy, the NGLT230 achieves an optimal balance between strength and weight. The extruded rungs feature an ergonomic T-section design that provides superior foot grip even in wet conditions, while the reinforced side rails incorporate impact-resistant end caps for added durability. Unlike cheaper fibreglass alternatives, this aluminium construction won't degrade from UV exposure, making it ideal for permanent outdoor installation.

Professional-Grade Safety Features

Safety is paramount in the NGLT230's design. The dual locking mechanism employs positive engagement catches that audibly click when properly secured, eliminating guesswork during extension. The stabiliser feet incorporate a unique pivot system that automatically adjusts to uneven surfaces up to 15° off-level, while the non-marring rubber contact pads prevent surface damage. For added security, the ladder includes pre-drilled holes for optional wall anchors or stabiliser bars.

Comparison to Alternative Ladder Types

Unlike combination ladders or platform steps, the NGLT230 provides unmatched reach for vertical access. Compared to fibreglass models, it offers superior weight-to-strength ratio and won't become brittle in cold weather. Versus single-section ladders, the two-section design allows compact storage while maintaining exceptional working height. The aluminium construction outperforms steel ladders in corrosion resistance, particularly in coastal environments.

Maintenance & Longevity

To ensure decades of reliable service:

• Inspect rung locks and feet before each use
• Clean with mild detergent and soft brush after exposure to mortar, concrete or chemicals
• Lubricate pulley mechanism annually with silicone spray
• Store horizontally on padded racks or vertically with proper support
• Avoid exposure to chlorides or acidic environments
