Types of Ladders — What's in This Category?

Drabest ladders include single-sided step ladders ideal for work against a wall, double-sided A-frame ladders that stand independently without any support, and platform step ladders with a standing platform for prolonged elevated work. The range also features telescopic step ladders with compact storage, multi-purpose combination ladders, fibreglass step ladders safe for electrical work, and lightweight step stools for everyday household tasks. Tread counts range from 2 to 7, suiting everything from a quick light change to a full professional installation.

Why the Right Step Ladder Makes Every Job Safer and Faster

Using a correctly rated ladder reduces accident risk and complies with the Work at Height Regulations 2005. A well-chosen step ladder eliminates awkward stretching, reduces fatigue, and lets you work confidently at the required height. EN 131 and EN ISO 20471 compliant models are available for tradespeople requiring certified equipment for site use.

How to Choose the Right Step Ladder

Consider maximum working height, load capacity (domestic 95 kg, trade 150 kg, industrial 175 kg), material (aluminium for light weight, fibreglass for electrical safety, steel for durability), and whether a self-supporting A-frame or wall-leaning design better suits your workspace. Check the platform height, tread width, and whether the model includes a tool shelf or stabiliser bar for added convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a domestic and trade step ladder?

Domestic step ladders are rated for occasional use up to 95 kg and suit light household tasks. Trade ladders carry 150 kg, feature wider treads, and are designed for frequent professional use on construction or maintenance sites.

Are step ladders safe for electrical work?

Standard aluminium step ladders conduct electricity and should not be used near live electrical installations. Fibreglass step ladders are non-conductive and are the correct choice for electricians and engineers working around live circuits.
