3 Tread Step Ladders

Our 3 tread step ladders are compact, lightweight, and ideal for everyday tasks that require safe, stable access to lower heights. Manufactured in the UK and certified to BS EN 131 where stated, they’re built for both professional and non-professional use – providing a robust product you can trust.

Platform & Reach Heights

A typical 3 tread step ladder offers:

• Approximate platform height: 0.60 - 0.70 metres (model dependent)

• Approximate reach height: 2.30 - 2.40 metres (based on average user reach of 1.75 m standing on the platform)

• Swingback step ladders do not have a platform; the highest standing level is typically the bottom tread, offering a slightly lower safe working height of around 1.90 - 2.00 metres, depending on your own height and reach.
