4m Ladder – the perfect EN131 Professional tradesman ladder
At LEWIS Access, we pride ourselves on manufacturing ladders that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
Each 4m ladder above is certified by BSI to the latest EN131 Professional standard, ensuring it meets rigorous criteria for demanding professional use.
Our commitment to quality begins with our robust, heavy-duty construction. We utilise rectangular ‘box’ section stiles (side rails) that provide exceptional strength, rigidity, and resistance to twisting and bending, leading to maximum user stability. Designed for the professional, these ladders boast a substantial load capacity of 150kg, comfortably accommodating you, your tools, and materials.
Experience superior climbing comfort and safety with our large ‘D’ shaped rungs. Precisely positioned at the correct angle, they offer increased working comfort and better footing compared to inferior imports with narrower rectangular or round rungs. This unique design also prevents rungs from twisting underfoot, significantly enhancing both safety and the longevity of your ladder.
Safety extends to the base with our advanced TriQuad rubber feet. Fitted to the stabiliser bar, these feet feature an omnidirectional tread pattern that passes stringent slip tests, even on challenging surfaces like glass. This provides superb ground grip and virtually zero ladder base movement, ensuring unparalleled stability.
Constructed from high-grade yet lightweight aluminium, our 4m ladders are built to resist years of wear and tear, providing truly long-lasting performance. Furthermore, they are designed for simple and intuitive height adjustment with reliable locking mechanisms, ensuring safe and effortless operation.
4m Ladder – originally designed for the West Coast Fire Brigade
Originally designed and manufactured for the demanding needs of the West Coast Fire Brigade, this industrial powerhouse is the epitome of excellence, meticulously crafted to deliver unparalleled performance and safety in the toughest environments.
For years, we have meticulously manufactured this industrial Class 1 ladder, maintaining its unyielding specifications and design. Utilising the same premium alloys and cutting-edge machinery, we ensure its exceptional durability and reliability. In fact, our ladder underwent rigorous testing by the BSI and proudly received the prestigious Kitemark to BS 2037 Class 1, a testament to its supreme quality and safety under the previous, highly respected British Standard.
Boasting a massive 175kg maximum permissible load, including user and tools, this ladder is built to support significant weight with unwavering confidence. Featuring an exceptionally robust 32mm rectangular ‘box’ section for the stiles (side rails), providing superior strength, rigidity, and resistance to twisting and bending. Enjoy maximum comfort and secure footing with large ‘D’ shaped rungs, precisely positioned at the optimal angle for extended use. Our unique design ensures a perfect, twist-proof rung joint, significantly enhancing safety and user confidence during ascent and descent. The increased width between the ladder sides offers superior comfort and safety, allowing for more natural positioning. Fitted as standard, these robust feet ensure excellent grip and adaptability on various surfaces, providing consistent stability.
Important Note on Standards:
It’s important to note that while this 4m ladder is engineered to the highest historical standards of strength and durability, its design does not include a stabiliser bar. Consequently, it doesn’t comply with the current EN131 Standard. Nevertheless, this design choice for specific professional applications does not compromise its exceptional performance, legendary strength, or the peace of mind that comes with its Kitemark certification. With its extraordinary design and minimal bounce, it remains undeniably one of the finest and most trusted ladders available for its intended heavy-duty industrial use in the UK.
