FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity of this ladder?

The Lyte Professional Platform Step Ladder has a maximum load capacity of 150kg, suitable for industrial and trade applications.

Is this ladder suitable for home use?

While its robust features offer excellent safety, this ladder is primarily designed and certified for professional industrial use. It may be heavier than typical domestic ladders.

How do I maintain the ladder?

Keep it clean with a damp cloth and inspect regularly for wear. Ensure treads remain bolted securely and store in a dry place.

What does EN131-2 Professional certification mean?

This certification indicates that the ladder meets stringent European safety and durability standards specifically for professional, heavy-duty use.

Can the steps be repaired?

Yes, the ladder features a repairable design with bolted steps, allowing for easier maintenance and extending its lifespan.

What is the purpose of the knee-rail?

The knee-rail provides an extra point of contact and support, enhancing stability and safety while working on the platform.

What is the tread pitch?

The tread pitch is 295mm, which is a generous distance designed to offer enhanced reach and comfort when climbing the ladder.

Troubleshooting

Ladder feels unstable

Ensure the ladder is fully opened and on a level, firm surface. Check that all legs are securely on the ground and inspect for any damage to the stiles or back legs.

Treads feel loose

As the design is repairable, check if the bolts securing the treads are tightened. If damage is evident, contact the manufacturer for repair guidance or replacement parts.

Magnetic tool tray not holding tools

Ensure the tray surface and the tools are clean and dry. For heavier tools, consider using the provided straps or placing them directly on the platform for maximum security.

Difficulty opening or closing the ladder

Check for any obstructions or debris around the hinges or leg mechanisms. Gently try to free any stuck parts. Do not force the ladder.
