Single-sided step ladders: Compact and safe thanks to clever functions
Comfortable steps for climbing up, a large and safe standing platform and a safety bar to hold on to when climbing up and down or to lean against while working are the main features of single-sided step ladders. They are particularly suitable for work that is only carried out in one direction, such as fitting lamps, installing shelves or hanging curtains.
Depending on the equipment, practical storage trays have cable holders, bucket hooks and storage options for tools and small parts. This means that the ladder can be equipped with all the necessary materials and tools before the ascent. This reduces the number of ascents and descents required and increases both efficiency and work safety.
Single-sided step ladders also have deep steps, optionally 80 mm, 100 mm or 125 mm, which enable comfortable and safe ascent and descent. Slip-resistant foot caps ensure that the ladder is stable even on smooth floors such as tiles or laminate, does not slip and also protects the floor covering.
Single-sided stepl adders are compact and lightweight, making them the ideal access solution even in small rooms. When folded up, they take up little space and can be stored in many nooks and crannies until the next use.
Double-sided stepladders: more flexibility and safety for versatile work
Stepladders that can be accessed from both sides offer the advantage that they can be used from both sides. This is particularly advantageous when working on larger surfaces, such as when painting walls. They allow you to work in different directions without having to reposition the ladder frequently.
In addition to steps, double-sided stepladders are also available with profiled rungs. They offer a high degree of stability, making them versatile and enabling greater working heights than single-sided stepladders. Before purchasing, however, it should be noted that these ladders may only be climbed from above up to the third step or rung in accordance with DIN EN 131.
Safe step in every situation with R13 steps
KRAUSE step ladders are also available with steps of slip resistance class R13. This offers the user many advantages. The self-cleaning steps with an open hole pattern offer maximum safety even under the most adverse conditions and are easy to clean. The profiling of the steps prevents dirt, mud, snow or ice from sticking, as the impurities fall through the holes. The ladders are therefore self-cleaning when climbed.
In contrast to many other R13 steps on the market with additional rubber or plastic inserts, the KRAUSE R13 step, which is made entirely of aluminium, is not subject to further wear. Efficiency and durability that users of KRAUSE products appreciate. In addition to the steps, the standing platform of the single-sided household ladder is also equipped with anti-slip properties.
In addition to the versions with R13 steps, both ladder types are also available as heavy-duty ladders for loads of up to 225 kg. For the new heavy-duty version, KRAUSE has increased the safety bar of the single-sided step ladder by 40 % to enable even tall users to use it safely. The ladder has also been fitted with additional corner braces to distribute the increased load.
Can also be used on stairs and obstacles
The latest addition to the KRAUSE stepladder programme are the telescopic step ladders for use on stairs and obstacles. These have extendable rail extensions that can be flexibly adapted to different obstacles. This allows them to be used in areas where conventional ladders reach their limits. The ladders are available in both single-sided and double-sided versions. This offers tradesmen and private users a flexible solution for different tasks.
With a stepless adjustment range of up to 1,150 mm, the ladders offer a high degree of adaptability and safety when used on uneven terrain or stairs. The ladders are equipped with safety rails, sturdy metal joints and D-shaped steps to ensure a secure footing. These features fulfil the requirements of TRBS 2121-2 for the use of ladders as a workplace.
Step ladders for versatile use with comprehensive safety
From occasional use in your own four walls, to DIY and tradesmen, to tough daily use in industry. Step ladders not only offer flexibility when working indoors, but are also characterised by a variety of safety features. Single-sided models are characterised by their compact design, a stable standing platform and storage trays for safe storage of tools. Double-sided step ladders offer additional flexibility for larger projects. With the right step ladder, any task can be completed safely and efficiently - safety always comes first. Often referred to as household ladders, step ladders are therefore also used in many industrial companies, craft businesses and retail outlets.
