Next Level Step Ladders

Step ladders are a critical addition to most workplaces where working at height is fundamental. Whether required for home DIY projects or professional use, at Direct2U, we are sure to have the correct ladder for you.

We offer a range of tread heights, all made of high-quality materials to ensure a robust finish. Our Climb-It Extra Large Platform Steps is available in 4 to 12 treads, with a large platform at the top, perfect for working on large projects. Break castors allow this ladder can be easily moved around a worksite with ease, improving efficiency.

Unlike traditional ladders, step ladders enables a single person to use the ladder safely, without having a second person acting as a spotter. Their self-supportive design makes them unsuitable for leaning against walls.

SWINGBACK OR PLATFORM STEP LADDER?

Classic A-frame swingback ladders allow for a more compact design, with folding abilities to allow for easy storage. They are lightweight for movement between multiple workplaces, ideal for on-the-go tradesmen, including painters and decorators. Whilst a nimbler option, they have smaller top rungs, reducing comfort when required for long periods of the day.

Platform ladders provide additional support when standing at the top to complete a job. This improves workplace efficiency, as workers require less balance on the top rung. Many of our platform ladders remain open permanently, improving safety compared to A-frame ladders.

However, this rigidness makes platform ladders harder to store when not in use. Plus, these ladders are difficult to move efficiently around a work site. Therefore, they are more suited for warehouse environments and long-term decorating jobs.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LADDER MATERIALS

Ensuring you choose the right ladder material is not only a matter of budget, but also safety. Especially when dealing with dangerous situations, the step ladder you choose can help reduce the risk of fatal accidents.

FIBREGLASS STEP LADDERS

Fibreglass Step Ladders

When working with electrics, it is highly recommended that individuals use a fibreglass ladder. Fibreglass is a non-conductive material, reducing the risk that workers will experience an electric shock. Whilst they do have a higher price tag, heat exposure will also not ruin the integrity of the ladder. This makes them higher quality and durable than traditional aluminium.

Our 6 tread Drabest EN131 Fibreglass Swingback Steps are perfect for working with electrical components. Available in 5 different tread sizes, it also includes a tray to hold tools, improving efficiency. By adding large anti-slip treads and rubber feet, this ladder offers improved safety, unlike that of traditional aluminium ladders.

ALUMINIUM STEP LADDERS

Aluminium Step Ladders

Ideal for other day-to-day DIY projects, aluminium ladders are the ideal cost-effective step ladder for day-to-day use. They are lightweight for easy transportation, and resist corrosion when used in outdoor areas.

Our best-selling Climb-It Aluminium Warehouse Steps can be used not only in warehouses, but in construction environments where a sturdy base is required. The platform allows for a permanent upright position, improving the durability of the ladder. Castors have been added to the rear of the ladder for easy transportation, and handrails assist the user whilst ascending and descending. Plus, with a 10-year guarantee on this ladder, you can be assured that this ladder meets the highest of safety standards.
