Wholesale ladders and step ladders (EN 131)

Aluminium and steel step ladders with 2 to 9 steps, double-sided step ladders, telescopic straight and A-frame ladders up to 4.7 m, multi-purpose hinged ladders with platform mode, fibreglass extension ladders and extending loft ladders. We list only models where the supplier states EN 131, and show height and maximum load per model.

Ladders ship in long, bulky cartons, so we quote them delivered to your address, with volume rather than weight driving the freight. Before you order we show you the manufacturer's EN 131 test data for that exact model and tell you what it covers.

Buying guide

A ladder is a safety product first and a hardware item second. A buyer in a DIY store or a hardware shop is asked about load, height and standard before price, and a weak rivet or a missing foot cap becomes a complaint very quickly. We work with partner factories as a ladder wholesale and step ladder supplier on factory-direct terms, but we are an importer, not a ladder manufacturer: what you get from us is the sourcing, the document checks, the inspection and the EU paperwork around the product.

What is in the range

Folding step ladders in aluminium with 4, 7 or 8 steps and in carbon steel with 2 to 6 steps and a handrail; double-sided aluminium step ladders from 0.8 to 3 m; telescopic straight ladders such as a 3.8 m model with 13 rungs, and telescopic ladders with hooks from 2 to 6 m; telescopic A-frame multi-purpose ladders from 1.4 to 4.7 m and double-sided telescopic versions up to 4 + 4 m; multi-purpose hinged ladders in 4 × 3, 4 × 4 and 4 × 5 configurations and articulated models with 8 to 28 steps and a platform mode; fibreglass extension ladders with aluminium rungs; 12-step extending aluminium loft ladders.

What we ask for

Height and working height, number of steps, step depth and spacing, maximum load, profile thickness and alloy, weight, folded size and carton size. Above all, we ask for the manufacturer's EN 131 test report: which part of the standard was applied, the class (professional or non-professional use), the laboratory and the date. We do not call a ladder “certified” and we do not promise national marks unless a report exists for them. Ladders carry no CE marking under a product directive, so a “CE” on a supplier listing is not a substitute for EN 131 data.

Ratings such as Type 1A or loads stated in pounds come from other markets and do not replace EN 131 data in the EU. Loft ladders are usually covered by a separate standard for loft ladders, and insulating fibreglass ladders for live working by their own standard; we check which one the manufacturer's report actually refers to. GPSR labelling, with us as the EU importer, applies to every model, with user instructions and warning pictograms in the language of the country of sale.

Mixed orders and freight

Ladders are rarely a full container on their own, so most clients combine them with workbenches, storage and tools in one order. Because cartons are long and light for their volume, we plan the load and quote ladders delivered. If you need a different height, a platform step ladder or a model that is not in the catalogue, send the specification and we source it through manufacturers, but only where EN 131 test data is available.

Your brand on the stiles as a sticker or print, with the EN 131 label, maximum load, warnings and your EU contact details applied to the ladder itself.

Colours and parts

Coloured end caps, feet and hinges, stile colour or anodising, agreed with the factory and fixed in a pre-production sample within the tested design.

About private label

Checklist before you order

  • Ask for the EN 131 test report for the exact model and height, with the class, the laboratory and the date
  • Check that the label on the ladder shows the standard, maximum load and your EU importer details
  • Do not rely on “CE”, Type 1A or pound ratings on a listing as proof of EN 131
  • Inspect a sample: rivets, hinges and locks, foot caps, step depth and wobble when fully extended
  • Compare carton length and volume as well as unit price: freight decides the delivered cost
  • Changing a ladder's design or profile can void the test data, so confirm any branding change with the factory first

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order for wholesale ladders?

Supplier minimums in the catalogue run from 1 to 100 pieces depending on the model; several step ladders start at a single piece. Ladders with your logo and packaging typically start at about 300 pieces per model, and heights within one series can often be mixed.

Are you a ladder manufacturer?

No. We are an EU importer. The ladders are made by partner factories; we check the manufacturer's test data, inspect the goods before shipment and handle import, labelling and delivery.

Are your ladders certified to EN 131?

We do not use that wording. We list only ladders where the supplier states EN 131, and we show you the manufacturer's test report with the laboratory and date. National marks are promised only where a report exists for them.

Why are ladders quoted delivered?

Ladders ship in long cartons that take more space than their weight suggests, so volume decides the freight cost. We plan them in a mixed load with your other goods and quote the delivered price to your address.

Do you supply professional ladders and scaffolding?

The catalogue covers step, telescopic, multi-purpose, extension and loft ladders for DIY and trade use. Scaffolding and fall-protection equipment are not in the range; professional-class ladders are available where the manufacturer's EN 131 report states that class.
