    Swingback Steps' Q&A

    What's a swingback step ladder and how is it different from a platform step ladder?
    A swingback step ladder is a type of ladder that doesn't have a built-in work platform for the user, unlike a platform step ladder.

    What does a double-sided step ladder mean and why might it be useful?
    A double-sided step ladder is super handy because you can climb up from either side. If it's tricky to reach something on one side, no worries – just switch to the other side and get it done easily.

    What does "EN131" mean for ladders, and why should we care?
    EN131 is a safety standard for portable ladders in Europe. It ensures they meet minimum safety requirements. There are two types: EN131 Professional and EN131 Non-Professional. If you're using it for work or trade, go for the professional one for better safety.

    When is it not a good idea to use an aluminum ladder for safety?
    If you're working around electricity, go for a fibreglass ladder. Unlike aluminum, fibreglass doesn't conduct heat or electricity, keeping you safer on the job.

    What type of swingback step ladder is the safest, and why?
    Choose fibreglass ladders—they're tough against weather and safe around electricity. But, remember, they're a bit heavier and pricier than aluminum ones, even though they last longer.

    Do ladders have weight limits, and how do you know which one to choose?
    The PARRS Aluminum Double-Sided Step Ladder is sturdy, supporting up to 175 kg safely, surpassing others in its category with a 150 kg maximum safe load.
