A quick summary of How Our Ladders are made.
A RUNG IS BORN EVERY 10 SECONDS IN OUR FACTORY
 D
rung extrusion awaits cutting down to size. All
our extrusion is supplied from
SAPA the world's leading
producer of extruded aluminium. All material we use is certified to
a British standard and quality standard |
|
 After
cutting ladder rungs to the exact
measurement the rung then goes through a procedure we call bubbling.
we use a 10 tonne press with specially made formers which press down
on the rung at the same time as pushing the ends to create a bubble
like rim 35mm in from each end. |
|
 The
two sides of the ladder which is also
known as ladder style is loaded on to our
cnc bed and the D shaped holes are punched at 250mm intervals. The D
shaped holes are for the D shaped rung to be inserted.
|
|
 Rung's
are manually inserted into the ladder stile
as you can see, the rung will stop at the bubble section on the rung
and the second ladder style will be placed on top of the rungs and
the ladder is now taking shape. |
|
 Ladder
then goes through our spinning procedure, this is
were the ladder rung is formed and locked on to the style. The
spinning machine is fully automatic and has probably spun well over
1 million rungs in its time. |
|
 Ladders
are then stacked awaiting QC inspection where
every rung is checked. Ladders will not get passed this point if
anything is found not to be perfect. |
|
 Once
passed QC each
ladder is hand assembled, feet riveted in,
side brackets fitted and final check
before cleaning ready for storage. |
|
 Ladder
finished and awaiting packing to make its way to you in super fast
time and excellent condition |
|
| And not forgetting that we are an ISO9001 Registered Firm and run a quality management system, also as a company we hold certified British Standard kitemark licences. |
