Lyte & LFI at Executive Hire Show 2025

February 14, 2025

Showcasing Innovation in Access Solutions

The Executive Hire Show 2025 was another fantastic event for Lyte Ladders & Towers and LFI . We were thrilled to connect with so many industry professionals, showcase our newest Bespoke Access Solutions, and offer a sneak peek at some exciting upcoming product launches.


Bespoke Access Solutions Launched at the Show

As a UK manufacturer with decades of experience, Lyte and LFI understand that standard access equipment doesn’t always fit every job. That’s why we focus on creating bespoke solutions that help our customers to resolve their unique access challenges.


Here’s what we unveiled at the show:

• "Double Decker" Platform Step – A two-level platform step designed to give extra height without compromising stability, making it ideal for tasks where a little more reach is needed. (And yes, that’s why there was a Double Decker chocolate bar in the goody bags!)

• Glassfibre Cubicle Platform – A unique solution designed for working above toilet cubicles in portable buildings, perfect for installing electrics, ventilation, or plumbing in tight spaces. Our toilet cubicle demo certainly got people talking! 

• Glassfibre Platform with Compression Castors – A non-conductive, highly manoeuvrable work platform with 360-degree access, allowing for easy movement between tasks while maintaining stability. 


These solutions are already generating huge interest in the Hire sector, and we look forward to seeing them in fleets across the UK.

Supporting National Foodbank Day

September 5, 2025
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.

Bespoke vs Standard - What’s the Right Access Solution for Your Business?

August 6, 2025
Choosing the right equipment for working at height can significantly impact site safety, task efficiency and long-term value. At Lyte Ladders & Towers, we manufacture a full range of standard access equipment certified to the latest safety standards, as well as bespoke access solutions tailored to solve complex or industry-specific challenges. But how do you know which is right for your needs? In this post, we explore the pros and cons of standard vs bespoke solutions, and how to make the best choice for your business. Standard Access Products: Certified and Ready to Use Our standard ladders, steps, podiums and towers are independently tested and certified to the relevant standards (such as EN131 or EN1004 ), ensuring they meet strict safety and performance requirements for regular trade and industrial use. ✔️ Advantages of Standard Products Fully Certified: Products like our MagnaStep range are EN131 Professional certified, which is reassuring for both Health & Safety teams and users. Faster Lead Times: Manufactured in volume at our UK factory, standard items are available with shorter turnaround times and higher stock availability. Cost-Effective: Ideal for bulk purchase for use across large teams or multi-site operations. Widely Applicable: Suitable for general use across construction, maintenance, utilities, and facilities management. ⚠️ Limitations One-Size-Fits-All Design: May not suit specialist tasks or restricted environments. Workarounds Can Introduce Risk: Using the wrong type of ladder or adapting it on site can lead to unsafe practices. Bespoke Access Solutions: Built Around Your Challenge Not all jobs fit within a standard set of dimensions, and that’s where Lyte’s bespoke design service comes in. From access towers for the transport industry to maintain their vehicles to compact platforms designs to fit in confined portable buildings and telecoms pole ladders for utilities , we work closely with customers across multiple industries to design safe, purpose-built solutions. View some of our recent bespoke projects here: 👉 Bespoke Products Gallery ✔️ Advantages of Bespoke Solutions Tailored for Your Task: Designed specifically to fit the working environment, user needs and operational requirements. Solves Access Challenges Safely: Reduces reliance on unsafe workarounds or modifications. Long-Term Value: Bespoke solutions can reduce downtime, improve productivity, and enhance operator safety over time. Built and Tested In-House: Even though many bespoke products don’t fall under a formal certification like EN131, we apply our rigorous in-house testing protocols to ensure every product is safe, stable, and fit for purpose. Learn more about our testing process: 👉 Bespoke Access Testing & Development ⚠️ Considerations Longer Lead Times: Bespoke items require consultation, design approval and testing. Not Always Certified: As these products don’t always align with a defined European standard, they cannot carry an EN131 badge, however they are still tested to the highest standards by our in-house team.
