Lyte Fibreglass Wide Step Ladder with Handrails (NYFWP6)

Lyte NYFWP6 Professional Fibreglass Wide Step Ladder with Safety Handrails

The Lyte NYFWP6 represents the pinnacle of professional-grade access equipment, combining cutting-edge safety features with ergonomic design for tradespeople who refuse to compromise on quality. This 6-tread wide step ladder has been meticulously engineered to exceed the rigorous demands of commercial construction sites, industrial maintenance, and electrical work environments where safety cannot be left to chance.

Unmatched Safety Engineering

Constructed from premium-grade fibreglass, the NYFWP6 provides inherent electrical insulation properties certified for working near live circuits up to 1000V. Unlike aluminium ladders that conduct electricity or wooden ladders that absorb moisture, fibreglass maintains its insulating properties indefinitely while resisting environmental degradation. The ladder's compliance with EN131-2 professional standards means it has undergone exhaustive testing for load capacity (150kg), impact resistance, and structural integrity under real-world working conditions.

Professional-Grade Stability Features

The innovative wide-step configuration provides 20% more surface area than conventional ladders, with deep-tread patterns that maintain traction even with muddy work boots. Integrated safety handrails run the full height of the ladder, giving users multiple secure grip points when ascending/descending with tools. The flared base design increases the stability footprint by 35% compared to standard models, while the reinforced bracing prevents lateral flexing during use.

• Certifications: EN131-2, IEC 61478 (1000V insulation)

Comparison to Other Ladder Types

When compared to aluminium ladders, the NYFWP6 provides superior electrical safety without sacrificing strength - the fibreglass construction actually offers better resistance to denting and warping. Versus wooden ladders, it eliminates problems with rot, splintering, and weight absorption. The wide-step design provides more comfortable prolonged use than traditional rung-style ladders, while offering better stability than podium steps for most applications.

Maintenance and Longevity

Requiring virtually no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning, the fibreglass construction won't rust, corrode, or degrade from UV exposure. The non-slip tread inserts are replaceable after years of heavy use. With proper care (storing indoors, avoiding impact damage), the NYFWP6 maintains its safety certifications and structural integrity for a decade or more of professional use - far outlasting cheaper consumer-grade alternatives.

Professional Applications

Electricians will appreciate the VDE-certified insulation when working near service panels. Construction crews benefit from the wide tool platform at the top step. Facility maintenance teams value the lightweight portability between job sites. Warehouse operators utilize the stable base for frequent stock access. The NYFWP6 has become the access solution of choice across multiple industries where safety and reliability can't be compromised.
