  • Why Buy From Us?

    Quality

    BPS Trade Platform Step Ladder
    Manufactured in the EU to the highest standards and specifications by an ISO9001 accredited company – your guarantee of quality and durability. We only sell top quality ladders and have carefully selected this range of products so you can be sure you are buying the best!

    Inferior alternatives
    Many inferior ladders are being sold in the UK by small non-ISO registered companies who also claim their product has the British Kitemark – they do not! This is a quality and safety issue.

    Value

    BPS Trade Platform Step Ladder
    Great value, top of the range, ladders that offer the best combination of quality and value for money. Our customers love these ladders, as evidenced in the many FIVE STAR reviews from our independent survey.

    Inferior alternatives
    Very few, if any, other retailers offer this great value in what is a superbly constructed product.

    Service

    BPS Trade Platform Step Ladder
    We are the UK Ladder Experts having sold many thousands over the past 15 years. Massive stocks always held for next day delivery, all backed up by our knowledgeable sales teams and celebrated aftersales service. Check out the superb customer reviews received through the independent agency FEEFO. We are open 7 days a week (weekdays until 9pm) to provide product advice and take your order. We also trade through multiple channels so you can make a purchase 24/7. Our telephone lines are NOT charged at a premium.

    Inferior alternatives
    No other companies come close to us on customer service – some even “invent” their own customer reviews or “cherry pick” and have a limited number so you cannot get a real indication of what service you can expect. Advice available during limited hours only and definitely not at weekends.

    Safety

    BPS Trade Platform Step Ladder
    Our Trade Step Ladder is certified to the very latest EN131 European Safety Standard (2017) – giving you peace of mind and ensuring that you comply with current legislation. Additional rear support braces included for maximum stability along with a high safety handrail for added support.

    Inferior alternatives
    Some of our competitors sacrifice safety for a cheaper build quality – something we will never do. Fewer rear support braces make them feel ‘wobbly’ in use.

    Price

    BPS Trade Platform Step Ladder
    We offer the best prices available which include FREE NEXT DAY delivery to most of the UK Mainland (small charge will apply to the Scottish Highlands and UK Islands). We buy in bulk! and in doing so can command the very best prices which we are able to pass onto you, our customers. We will not be beaten on price.

    Inferior alternatives
    We can’t find a competitor who supplies these Trade Step Ladders at anywhere near our prices. If you do, please let us know as we refuse to be beaten on price! Others charge for delivery or your ladder will take up to 5 working days to reach you.

    Guarantee

    BPS Trade Platform Step Ladder
    Forever Guaranteed – We offer a no quibble Lifetime Guarantee on our products – in the unlikely event that problems are experienced, we will either repair or replace the affected part/product. We are a UK owned and based company who have been trading for many years, so this peace of mind is definitely worth having.

    Inferior alternatives
    Not lifetime guaranteed or offered by companies who have been trading for a relatively short period of time – probably not worth much in the event of a problem.

    Instructions

    BPS Trade Platform Step Ladder
    Comprehensive manual supplied. You also have the reassurance of being able to speak to one of the experts in our Customers Services Team if further assistance is required.

    Inferior alternatives
    Poorly written instructions or none at all which can render the ladder unsafe if not understood.

    Convenience

    BPS Trade Platform Step Ladder
    Lightweight but very strong alloy construction and great design gives our ladder these unique features and ensures the ladder suitable for use by almost anyone. Aluminium construction means ladders will not rust and can be stored externally if needed. Folds flat for easy storage and transportation.

    Inferior alternatives
    Heavier ladders are difficult to use and no stronger than ours. Also, most others supply in a limited number of sizes.

  • Fact Sheets
  • Delivery Info

    Orders placed before 2.00pm Monday to Friday will be dispatched same day for next working day delivery to UK addresses.

    Orders placed after 2.00pm will be treated, for the purposes of delivery, as having been placed the next working day.

    Working days are defined as Monday – Friday (excluding bank and public holidays) – therefore any orders placed after 2.00pm on Friday will not be processed until Monday.

    All delivery timescales are approximate

    Whilst we will give you our carriers tracking details, we regret that precise delivery times cannot be specified at the present time. Morning deliveries (pre 12.30pm) are available under our premium delivery service and details of costs can be found in the checkout.

    Please note there are a small number of postcodes, usually in remote rural areas, to which we may not be able to deliver within the provided timescale.

  • F.A.Q.

    What is the total reach height on the ladders?

    We give an approximate reach height, along with other detailed dimensions of all sizes at the bottom of the webpage in the ‘Price and Product Dimensions’ section. However, for a more accurate measurement, you can add the height of the user to the height of the platform.

    I’ve read online that you are meant to stand 3 or 4 rungs from the top on ladders, but in the photo the guy is standing on the top platform. Is this safe?

    Yes it is completely safe, because it has a platform and knee rail for additional support. On conventional steps or ladders, where there isn’t any added support, you would need to stand further down.

    Is the ladder suitable for outdoor use?

    Absolutely. The ladder is tested and certified to a trade standard so it can certainly withstand the demands of working outdoors too.

    Can the ladders be stored outside?

    Yes they can. The ladders are made from aluminium, so they will not rust if left outside. However if you are storing this way, it might not be a bad idea to put a cover over them.

Safety tips for using platform ladders

Every home needs a platform ladder to cover the jobs that need doing, so it is important to know how to use a platform safely. Below are a few things you can do to ensure you use your platform ladder in a safe and correct manner.

  • Always make sure that the ladder is placed on a solid level surface, checking that each foot is fully rested on the ground
  • Check that the platform is properly engaged before climbing the ladder
  • Don’t use the ladder if the spreader is missing, loose, or damaged
  • Regularly check ladder feet for excessive wear and tear and don’t use if their condition has deteriorated significantly
  • When ascending or descending the ladder you must be facing it and have three limbs in contact with the ladder at all times
  • Never overreach when using the ladder, you should ensure your body is centred within the ladder stiles
  • Always climb down and be fully off the ladder before moving it, don’t attempt to make the ladder walk even if you only want to move it slightly
  • Prior to moving the ladder, you should make sure that all tools and other items have been removed
  • Don’t use a platform stepladder as a non-self-supporting ladder (leaning it against a wall for example)
  • Never climb from one ladder to another
  • Do not try to use the ladder as a trestle as they are not designed for that type of use
  • Never use your metal platform ladder near any possible electrical hazards

Using your platform ladder safely helps to ensure it stays in the best possible condition so you can get continued use out of it for many years to come. With six different sizes available you can get the perfect platform ladder that will best suit your requirements.
