This ladder is constructed from premium aluminium, featuring a foldable design for easy storage, a built-in tool tray, and a safety lock mechanism. It is certified to EN131 standards and supports a maximum weight capacity of 150kg.

Troubleshooting

Ladder feels unstable during use

Ensure the ladder is fully opened and the safety lock is engaged. Verify that the ladder is placed on a completely flat and stable surface. Check that the weight distribution is even and does not exceed the 150kg limit.

Grab handle seems loose

Check that the ladder is fully deployed and locked. If the handle itself is loose from its fittings, contact Tuffmate customer support as this may require repair or replacement.

Steps are slippery

Ensure the steps are clean and free of dust, grease, or liquid. If the ladder has been exposed to moisture, dry the steps thoroughly. The textured surface of the steps is designed for grip; if it appears worn, inspect for damage.

Ladder is difficult to fold or unfold

Check for any obstructions, debris, or dirt in the hinges or locking mechanism. Gently clean the joints. Ensure the safety lock is disengaged properly before attempting to fold. Do not force the mechanism.
