Euroglas Tradesman Fibreglass Step Ladder to European Standard EN131
The Euroglas 'Tradesman' Stepladder is an all fibreglass construction resulting in a lightweight but extremely strong stepladder.
The broad 170mm top platform depth of this swingback step, combined with the deep 80mm treads, ensures a very safe and stable set of steps. The serrated non-slip treads provide a sure foothold and are glued and riveted to the stepladder stiles for secure fixing.
Because the back legs, braces and diagonals are manufactured from glassfibre these steps are considerably lighter than wooden steps - however they are twice as strong and will take a safe working load of up to 175kg. These stepladders have been tested to comply with the following standards: The European EN131 Standard, (150kg), the American ANSI 14.5 Standard and the British ES1 13-1 Standard.
Please note that the relative sizes of swing back step ladders are often specified by their tread count - swing back steps traditionally include the very top section of the step ladder in the tread count. For example a six tread swing back step consists of five treads plus the very top section of the step ladder, (as shown in the image on the right showing the EGS6 Step Ladder).
