At Direct2U, we know the importance of having heavy-duty access equipment to hand. It helps you tackle any challenge that comes your way. Whether your home renovation needs a DIY ladder or a professional warehouse work platform, our ladders offer high quality.
REACH HIGHER WITH OUR ACCESS EQUIPMENT
We are proud to offer a range of ladders, all with unique characteristics to suit any workplace environment. From ladders with platforms for long hours at height to collapsible step stools, we offer access equipment for everyone.
WAREHOUSE STEPS
Designed with convenience in mind, our wide range of industrial Warehouse Steps is ideal for industrial storage depots. Platform heights let you work up to 5m high, and the design includes fitted handles and brakes to help everyone work safely. As a result, this significantly reduces the risk of falling.
Our TUFF Easy Glide Steps are available with a range of treads. This is to help you reach your necessary height and even act as a work platform. The anti-slip treads decrease the risk of slipping when using the ladders for long periods of the day. Our TUFF Express Easy Glide Steps are also available with next working day delivery, ideal for improving accessibility as soon as possible.
Spring-loaded wheels enhance these ladders to become mobile safety steps, with swivel castors for fluid movement when no one is standing on them. Once you apply pressure, the dome cover secures these mobile steps in place. Supporting up to 145kg at once, they are the ideal warehouse accessory for providing level access to storage shelves.
COMBINATION LADDER
We offer many combination ladders. They can be set up either as an A-frame step ladder or leaned against a wall. This allows you to reach your perfect height with ease, whilst maintaining high safety standards.
Our best-selling Drabest 3-Section Combination Ladder can reach up to 10.6m when used as an extension ladder. With five options, they suit home DIY tasks and professional painters. This is thanks to the lightweight aluminium frame. The combination of anti-slip rungs and feet, and an EN-131 certification provides peace of mind whilst working at height.
Alternatively, our non-conductive Glassfibre Combination Ladders, keeping users safe when working with electricity at height. It complies with EN-131 and EN-50528 regulations and undergoes more testing than similar products on the market.
TELESCOPIC LADDER
Thinking of taking a more modern approach to ladders? Telescopic Ladders are the ideal portable ladder for reaching heights between 910mm and 3810mm because of their extendable nature. This also makes them ideal for compact storage when not required, and they fit in transit vans to deter theft. This modern-day variation of the traditional extendable ladder is therefore portable and perfect for leaning against outside walls.
Climb-It's telescopic ladders can easily expand and contract using a single button. This speeds up the process of setting up and putting away the ladder. A controlled retraction process prevents the mechanism from trapping fingers. The strong aluminium frame supports up to 150 kg at once, allowing you to complete a multitude of tasks.
SMALL STEPS
At Direct2U, we understand the importance of having a little extra boost to reach those tricky spots just out of reach. That is why we offer a wide variety of small steps suitable for any working environment, from warehouses to offices.
Kick Steps are the ideal workplace-friendly edition, suitable for environments spanning from offices to hospitality storage. Castors under the step allow quick and easy movement. When a person stands on it, it locks in place, ensuring a stable working platform.
We also offer a selection of handy folding step stools for convenient storage solutions. Our best-selling Climb-It Easy Slope Steps come in three tread options. Adding castors can help to move the ladder easily.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR ACCESS EQUIPMENT
When purchasing access equipment, it is crucial to consider a range of features to ensure you choose the right ladder to suit your personal needs.
Height: Making sure you can reach your required height without overreaching is fundamental
Material: It is important to consider that the jobs you intend to do on your ladder is suitable for its material. Whilst aluminium ladders are budget-friendly, they conduct electricity. This makes them a hazardous choice for electrical work
Transportation: The need to move ladders around a workplace environment can play a large role in ladder decision-making. Castors can make movement simple for bulky warehouse steps. Meanwhile, a foldable ladder is ideal for tradesmen on different sites each day
Storage: Ladders do not have to become a permanent feature in the workplace. Foldable and collapsible ladders are great for compact storage solutions
Time on the ladder: If you plan to spend long hours on a ladder, like for painting or decorating, an added platform can help. It can be the most comfortable type of ladder. If the ladder is simply an aid to get from the floor to another heightened platform, however, rungs are ideal for short-term use
STANDARDS AND CERTIFICATION
It is essential to assess the safety regulations your ladder conforms to before purchase. Whilst not always a legal requirement, some workplaces prefer ladders meet well-recognised safety standards, and require certification.
Our range includes access equipment meeting GS Standard, EN-131, Class I and Class III. Additionally, the ladders we offer have all been tested and selected based on their performance and durability.
