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.

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.
