FAQs
Is this ladder safe for working near electricity?
Yes, absolutely. This Lyte Platform Step Ladder is specifically designed with non-conductive glassfibre stiles and is certified to withstand up to 30,000 volts, making it ideal for electrical environments.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The ladder has a maximum load capacity of 150kg, suitable for both the user and their tools/equipment.
Is this ladder suitable for outdoor use?
While durable for professional use, prolonged exposure to harsh weather elements (rain, extreme UV) should be avoided to preserve material integrity. Store it in a dry, covered area when not in use.
How do I clean the ladder?
You can clean the ladder using a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the fibreglass or rubber components. Ensure it's dry before storage.
Does it come with a warranty?
Info needed: Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information provided with your purchase or contact customer service for details on warranty coverage.
What does 'EN131-2 Professional standard' mean?
EN131-2 Professional is a European standard that specifies the requirements for the design, construction, performance, and testing of ladders. Professional certification ensures the ladder is suitable for heavy-duty, rigorous use in trade and industrial environments.
Are replacement parts available, such as rubber feet?
Info needed: For replacement parts like rubber feet or tool trays, please contact Lyte's customer support or your retailer to inquire about availability and ordering procedures.
Troubleshooting
Ladder feels unstable during use.
Ensure the ladder is placed on a firm, level surface. Check that all four feet are making solid contact with the ground. Verify that the ladder is fully unfolded and any locking mechanisms are engaged. Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 150kg.
Difficulty unfolding or folding the ladder.
Check for any obstructions or debris in the hinge mechanisms. Ensure the ladder is clean and free from dirt that might impede movement. If resistance persists, apply a silicone-based lubricant to hinges, avoiding contact with treads.
Ladder feet slipping on the surface.
Confirm the rubber feet are clean and free from oil, grease, or dirt. Ensure the surface is dry and free of loose materials. If the rubber feet are worn or damaged, they should be replaced immediately by qualified personnel to ensure safety.

Care
To maintain optimal performance and safety:
- Regular Inspection: Before each use, inspect the ladder thoroughly for any damage, loose fastenings, or wear, particularly on the treads, stiles, and rubber feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe down glassfibre stiles and the platform with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store the ladder in a dry, covered area, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation. Its lightweight and compact design aids easy storage.
- Foot Protection: The durable rubber feet are designed to prevent twisting; ensure they are clean and free of debris to maintain grip and prevent damage.
