Introducing MagnaStep - The New Era of UK-Made Step Ladders

July 4, 2025

New innovative MagnaStep range of Step Ladders, built for Trade Professionals

We’ve been manufacturing ladders in the UK for over 75 years, and now, we’re proud to introduce MagnaStep, the next generation of step ladders engineered for today’s trade professionals.


MagnaStep replaces our current step ladder range with a bold step forward in performance, safety, and sustainability. Whether you’re in construction, facilities maintenance, electrical installation, or hire, this new range has been designed to make your work safer, faster, and more efficient.


What’s New in the MagnaStep Range?

Built-in Magnetic Tool Tray
No more balancing fixings on platforms or returning to ground level for tools. All MagnaStep models now include an integrated
magnetic tool tray, helping you keep tools within reach and reducing the risk of dropped items.


Greater Reach, Same Number of Treads
Thanks to a redesigned 295mm tread pitch, MagnaStep offers
increased working height without the need for extra treads e.g. MagnaStep 5 tread is around the same height as the previous 6 tread version. This means better efficiency and fewer ladder sizes needed for different tasks.


Green Aluminium Treads
Our aluminium steps are now made from
low-carbon recycled aluminium 4.0, providing the same durable non-slip surface while lowering environmental impact.


Repairable Design
We've designed MagnaStep to be bolted, not riveted, so they’re easier to
repair and maintain. This extends product life and reduces waste, in line with sustainability best practices.

Why MagnaStep Is a Game-Changer for Professionals

MagnaStep is a carefully engineered response to the real challenges that tradespeople face on-site – from tool accessibility to the need for greater reach. Every model in the range has been certified to EN131 Professional and durability tested to 50,000 cycles, giving you confidence in its strength and longevity.

Sustainability That Works On Site

MagnaStep is manufactured in our solar-powered factory in Swansea, helping to reduce transport emissions and support British manufacturing. Choosing MagnaStep over imported ladders can cut your carbon footprint by up to 5.3kg of CO₂ per ladder (compared to ladders from China).

Whether you’re stocking for trade retail, supplying hire fleets, or purchasing for internal teams, MagnaStep is a practical, sustainable, and professional solution to meet your working at height needs.

At Lyte Ladders & Towers, we believe sustainability isn’t just about reducing environmental impact, it’s also about strengthening the communities where we live and work. That’s why on Friday 5th September 2025, we were proud to support National Foodbank Day by collecting donations for Swansea Foodbank . Why National Foodbank Day Matters Across the UK, foodbanks play a vital role in supporting families and individuals facing hardship. National Foodbank Day shines a spotlight on this work, raising awareness of the growing demand for foodbank services and encouraging businesses and communities to take action. In Swansea, the foodbank is part of the Trussell Trust network, providing emergency food parcels to those in crisis. Their work goes beyond just food, they also offer advice, support, and practical help to people navigating difficult times. Lyte’s Contribution As a UK manufacturer with deep roots in South Wales, we’re proud to give back to our local community. This year, our team came together to collect donations of non-perishable food, toiletries, and essential household items for Swansea Foodbank. Every contribution helps, from tinned goods and cereals to hygiene products, and we are grateful to our colleagues for showing such generosity. ESG in Action Supporting Swansea Foodbank is part of our wider commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) responsibility. While much of our ESG focus is on reducing environmental impact through initiatives like recycled aluminium and solar energy, we are equally committed to the “social” pillar: Supporting local charities and causes Promoting wellbeing within our workforce Giving back to the community where we manufacture How You Can Help If you’d like to support Swansea Foodbank or learn more about their work, please visit: https://swansea.foodbank.org.uk Together, we can make a difference for those who need it most. National Foodbank Day is a reminder that sustainability is about people as much as it is about products. At Lyte, we’re proud to stand alongside Swansea Foodbank and support the vital role they play in our community. We’d like to thank our team for their generosity and encourage others to consider how they can support foodbanks locally, today and every day.
