The Lyte MagnaSteps 5‑tread Swingback platform (Model NGFBB5M) is a UK-engineered fibreglass ladder ideal for trade and professional environments where safety around electricity is essential. Its non‑conductive stiles, anti-slip treads and magnetic tool tray make it a top choice for electricians and maintenance professionals who require durability and convenience on-site.
This swingback step ladder features high-strength glassfibre stiles that are non‑conductive up to 30,000 V. Reinforced box-section rear legs, cross-bracing, and 'K' straps ensure excellent rigidity. Aluminium treads are bolted for long-term repairability, and robust rubber feet maximise grip on various surfaces. The ladder folds to just 145 mm depth for easy transport and storage.
