Full details
The Lyte Ladders and Towers NBSWP Aluminium WideStep is designed for industrial and trade professionals seeking enhanced comfort and stability. Its key benefit is the extra-wide treads and generous working platform, which allow for prolonged use at greater heights. A potential caveat is its specific design for professional use, meaning it may be more robust than needed for occasional DIY tasks. This UK-made ladder prioritizes stability, sustainability, and durability, featuring non-slip treads, secure rubber feet, and a safety bar, along with a portable and lightweight design for easy storage and maneuverability.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the WideStep design?
The primary advantage is the enhanced comfort and stability provided by the extra-wide treads and the large working platform, making prolonged use at height significantly more comfortable and secure.
Is this ladder suitable for DIY home use?
While it can be used for DIY, the NBSWP is specifically engineered for the rigors of industrial and trade use. For occasional light tasks, a less robust model might suffice, but this ladder offers superior durability and stability.
How do I maintain the aluminium finish?
Regularly clean the aluminium with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or dull the finish. Ensure it's stored in a dry place to prevent oxidation.
What is the maximum working height this ladder provides?
The product description mentions 'greater working heights' and a platform size, but does not specify a precise maximum working height. Users should always follow standard safety guidelines for ladder use and refer to any specific load ratings or height information provided with the product packaging.
Are the rubber feet replaceable?
While not explicitly stated, many professional-grade ladders have replaceable components. Check the product manual or contact Lyte Ladders and Towers customer support for information on replacement parts, including rubber feet.
How is the sustainability aspect addressed in its manufacturing?
The product is described as 'UK-made' with a focus on 'reducing environmental impact,' suggesting localized production and potentially material sourcing considerations, though specific details are not provided.
Troubleshooting
Ladder feels unstable
Ensure the ladder is on a perfectly level and firm surface. Check that the rubber feet are in good condition and making full contact. Verify the safety bar is properly engaged.
Wheels are difficult to move
Check the wheels for any debris or obstructions. Ensure the ladder is fully opened, as partial closure can affect wheel movement. The wheels are primarily for minor adjustments and ease of storage, not for extensive rolling while occupied.
Treads feel slippery
Clean the treads thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove dust, grease, or residue. Ensure the ladder is not exposed to slippery substances like oil or paint before use.
Frame appears bent or damaged
Immediately cease using the ladder if any structural damage is observed. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified service center for inspection and potential repair or replacement. Do not attempt to use a damaged ladder.
