What is the benefit of the extra-high safety handrail?

The extra-high handrail offers enhanced support and security, helping users maintain balance and stability while working at height.

How should I maintain the ladder?

Clean with a damp cloth, store in a dry area, and regularly inspect for any signs of damage to ensure continued safety and performance.

Troubleshooting

Ladder feels unstable

Ensure the ladder is placed on a completely flat and firm surface. Check that all legs are firmly on the ground and that the locking mechanisms are fully engaged. Inspect for any damage to the stiles or back legs.

Non-slip feet appear worn

Inspect the non-slip feet for significant wear. If compromised, contact the manufacturer for replacement parts. Continued use with worn feet can reduce grip and stability.

Handrail feels loose

Check all fixings connecting the handrail to the ladder structure. Tighten any loose bolts or rivets. If the handrail itself is damaged, cease use and contact the manufacturer.
