Product Information
Full details
The GPC 5-Tread Folding Step Ladder is an ideal solution for professionals and homeowners who require a reliable, lightweight tool for reaching elevated areas safely. Certified to EN 131 standards, it offers exceptional stability and durability for maintenance or repair tasks. While its robust aluminium construction ensures long-term use, users should note that its fixed height design limits its utility for extremely high-reach projects compared to telescoping or extension ladders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the ladder, fully expand the frame until the locking catch engages automatically. Always ensure the ladder is placed on a flat, level surface before climbing. Compatibility is universal for indoor and outdoor maintenance tasks, provided the surface is stable. For care, keep the ladder clean by wiping down the aluminium frame with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove debris or construction dust. Periodically inspect the rubber feet for signs of wear and ensure the hinge and locking mechanism remain free of debris to guarantee smooth operation. Do not use chemical solvents that may degrade the rubber components.
