Aluminium ladders: lighter (typical 30-50% lighter than fibreglass), lower-cost, suited to general workshop and mechanical work where electrical-near use isn't a concern. The workshop and trade standard for general use. Fibreglass ladders: electrical-insulation rated, required for any work near live electrical conductors (electrical-installation work, live-electrical service, near overhead power lines). Heavier and more expensive than aluminium but essential for electrical-trade work. Always specify fibreglass for electrical-near applications; aluminium for everything else.

EN 131 Professional: the European trade-and-professional standard, rated for trade-and-professional use with a duty load typically 150kg. EN 131-1 (industrial) extends to 175kg. Class 1 (the older UK standard, BS 2037): industrial-rated, 175kg duty load — suitable for the heaviest trade and contractor use. For trade workshop and bay use, EN 131 Professional or Class 1 are the practical choice. For light occasional use (warehouse access, light maintenance), EN 131 with 150kg duty is sufficient. Always specify rated above the operator's weight plus tools.

Working height (the highest practical foot position, typically 4 steps below the top) is what determines reach. Typical working heights: 4-step ladder gives 1.5m working height; 6-step gives 2.0m; 8-step gives 2.5m; 10-step gives 3.0m; 12-step gives 3.5m. For overhead reach add about 1.8m to working height (operator standing on the rung reaches up by their arm length). Never stand on the top step or top platform of a step ladder unless the ladder is specifically rated for it — the top is for tool support, not standing.

Yes — replacement ladder feet (rubber non-slip feet, broader soft-ground feet, and adjustable feet for uneven ground), ladder stays and stand-offs (which hold the ladder away from a wall surface, useful when working over guttering or near painted finishes), working platforms that fit on the ladder rungs, and tool-holder kits are available across the ladder accessory range. Match the foot or stay to the ladder make and stile size; for older ladders where parts may not be available, WhatsApp 07754288583.

Ladders

Within Storage & Handling, Ladders covers the workshop and trade ladders used in equipment access, vehicle-cab service, garage and warehouse work, and the wider trade-access applications — covering step ladders (the workshop standard for indoor and bay use), platform step-stools (with a wider top platform for stable extended-time use), extension and combination ladders (for outdoor and elevated access), and the matched accessories (ladder feet, ladder stays, working platforms, ladder-hooks). Parts for Machines supplies ladders across the trade and contractor ranges. The category covers both fibreglass-construction ladders (electrical-insulation rated, suited to electrical-installation and live-conductor-near work) and aluminium-construction ladders (lighter, lower-cost, suited to general workshop and mechanical work). Class 1 (industrial, 175kg duty rating) and EN 131 (professional-grade) certifications are available. We are an authorised distributor and seller of Sealey and Draper across the ladder range. Sealey covers the broadest selection — workshop step ladders in 4-step through 12-step configurations, platform step-stools for bay-and-counter work, combination ladders that convert between step-and-extension configurations, and the matched ladder accessories. Draper extends the range with workshop and trade-grade variants. Product pages list the ladder type (step, platform-step, extension, combination), the height (closed height, open working height, and reach height), the duty rating (EN 131 Professional, Class 1 Industrial 175kg, or EN 131-2 with the corresponding load rating), the construction (aluminium for general use; fibreglass for electrical-near work), the platform size (where applicable — step-stools and platform step-ladders), the foot type (rubber non-slip feet for indoor use; broader-base feet for soft-ground use), and any specific safety features (safety bar at the top, anti-slip rung profiles, locking hinges). Trade pricing on bulk and contractor orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
