Clow Tradesman Step - A Class 1 BS 1129 Heavy Duty Timber Step Ladder
The Clow 'Tradesman' Timber Step Ladder is a strong and substantially made step ladder which is light, rigid and safe.
With a Class 1 rating this step ladder will safely support a maximum static load of up to 175kg.
The special method of construction used to manufacture this ladder ensures that the ladder will remain rigid and strong throughout its life.
The Clow 'Tradesman' Step Ladder is manufactured from specially selected clear Douglas Fir, an ideal material for the manufacture of structural applications due to it's ability to safely withstand high stresses and loads.
All the ladder fittings are galvanised and the strong hinges used are bolted onto the stepladder for strength.
The back legs are also half tapped and bolted which results in no weakening of the step ladder joints unlike morticed legs. The step ladder treads are checked into the sides at 11'' centres and are bolted together with 1, 2 or 3 screwed and nutted tie rods. (The number of tie rods are determined by the stepladder height).
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 four tread swing back step consists of three treads plus the very top section of the step ladder, (as shown in the image on the right showing the TS4 Timber Step Ladder).
