FAQs
What is the EN131-2 Professional Standard?
The EN131-2 Professional Standard is a European safety standard specifically for ladders intended for professional and industrial use, ensuring higher levels of durability, stability, and load-bearing capacity.
What is the maximum weight capacity of this ladder?
The ladder has a maximum load capacity of 150kg, suitable for most industrial applications.
How do the wall running wheels assist in usage?
The wall running wheels allow for smoother manoeuvring and positioning of the ladder against a wall, reducing friction and effort while protecting the wall surface.
Is this ladder suitable for DIY home use?
While the ladder is highly safe and durable, its design is optimised for industrial use. For standard home DIY, a lighter-duty ladder might be more appropriate, but this professional-grade ladder can certainly be used safely for home tasks.
How should I maintain the ladder for longevity?
Regular cleaning, inspection for damage, and proper storage in a dry environment will ensure the ladder's longevity. Keep moving parts like wheels and locking mechanisms clean and free of debris.
What is the benefit of the integrated stabiliser bar?
The stabiliser bar is crucial for preventing sideways slips, significantly increasing the ladder's stability and the user's safety, especially on uneven surfaces or during demanding tasks.
Troubleshooting
Ladder sections are difficult to extend or retract.
Check for any obstructions or debris in the ladder channels. Ensure the locking mechanisms are fully disengaged. Clean and lightly lubricate the channels if necessary.
Stabiliser bar seems loose.
Inspect the bolts securing the stabiliser bar. Tighten them firmly if loose, ensuring not to overtighten. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.
Wall running wheels are not spinning freely.
Clean the wheels and the surrounding area to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Check for any foreign objects caught in the wheel mechanism.
Ladder feels unstable during use.
Verify the ladder is on a level and firm surface. Ensure the stabiliser is properly engaged and the angle of use is correct (approx. 75 degrees). Double-check that the load capacity is not exceeded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the ladder is placed on a firm, level surface. Extend the sections carefully, ensuring each locking mechanism engages securely before use. Always maintain a safe angle of ascent (approximately 75 degrees).
Compatibility: This ladder is designed for general industrial use and access to elevated work areas. It is compatible with most standard wall surfaces. Always check the load capacity (150kg) and ensure it is not exceeded.
Care: Regularly inspect the ladder for any signs of damage, wear, or deformation. Clean the aluminium rungs and stiles with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Ensure the locking mechanisms and wheels are free from debris. Store the ladder in a dry, protected area when not in use to prevent corrosion and damage.
