Product Information
Full details
The Costway 4-Step Folding Step Ladder is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, space-saving solution for reaching high shelves or performing overhead maintenance. Its primary benefit is a combination of a sturdy, reinforced metal frame and safety-focused design features like anti-slip pedals, though users should be mindful that the metal construction does make the unit slightly heavier to move compared to plastic alternatives.

The ladder supports up to 150 kg per step.
Does it require assembly?
No, the ladder comes fully assembled and is ready to use right out of the box.
Can this be used on carpet?

How wide are the steps?
The steps are 343 cm wide, providing a large surface area for stable standing.
Is it safe for outdoor use?
While it can be used outdoors, it is best to keep it dry and store it inside to prevent the metal frame from rusting.

Troubleshooting
Ladder feels wobbly during use
Ensure the ladder is on a flat, level surface and that all four rubber feet are in full contact with the floor.
Folding mechanism feels stiff
Check for any trapped debris or dust in the hinges and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points.
Tool tray does not sit flat
Verify that the ladder is fully opened and the side locks have engaged correctly to ensure the frame geometry is square.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This ladder arrives pre-assembled and is ready for use immediately upon opening. To set up, simply pull the top handle and ensure the locking mechanism clicks firmly into the open position.
For care and maintenance:
- Regularly inspect the hinges to ensure they remain lubricated and free of debris.
- Wipe down the metal frame with a soft, dry cloth after outdoor use to prevent potential rust or corrosion.
- Periodically check the rubber feet for wear and tear; if they become cracked or loose, discontinue use until they are replaced to ensure floor protection and stability.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from harsh elements to maximize the lifespan of the metal structure.
