TB Davies ladder group today announced the extension of its market-leading Trade product range, to include a new extra safe, extra comfortable stepladder. The new Premier XL Platform Step Ladders feature extra deep 125mm treads that make the step both safer and more comfortable to use than a conventional stepladder.

“The step has huge anti-slip treads that make you feel really safe and secure, and the high handrail has a built in tool tray and bucket hook to help save wasted trips up and down the steps.” said Bob Baldock, General Manager.

“The new XL step comes packed with safety features that add real value to the tradesmen or serious DIY’er.”

Additional features include a clean touch finish, making the step ideal for decorating tasks, or use in retail environments. The rubber feet provide a larger footprint than standard steps, and maintain one hundred percent contact with the ground to help reduce slip.

“Users who want better stability at a competitive price will be attracted to these durable steps that are finished in the recognised trade colour of orange signifying safety.” continued Baldock.

As part of TB Davies Summit™ brand the steps benefit from a free five-year warranty and will be available from February 2013.
