KINGRACK 5 Step Ladder, Folding 5 Step Step Ladder with Tool Tray & Safety Handrails, 330LBS Load Capacity Lightweight Household Ladder for Kitchen, Pantry, Closets, Office

I bought the 5-Step version which are great for reaching every conceivable household task. They are steady and robust with wide steps providing a great sense of security. The minimal assembly was straight-forward. I like the tool-tray at the top which makes life much easier and saves lots of ups-and-downs. One drawback is that they are quite heavy, so I would advise those that find difficulty moving things about to opt for a lighter set; If you still want the advantages these offer, perhaps opt for the 4- or 3-Step versions which would be lighter and more easily manoeuvred. Overall, I couldn’t be happier!

I had an old aluminium ladder that was getting a bit unsafe. I ummed & ahhed about this ladder but I am so glad I did buy it. I am a fairly fit woman in my 60s and wanted a ladder that I felt safe on. The handrails on this make it so much easier to use. I had to mend the washing line in the garden today and needed to attach the line to a very high pole. The ladder lives in my shed where it stores neatly and compactly as it folds flat. It is easy to put up. I am usually nervous working at any height but the handrail and wide steps really do make a difference and I felt very comfortable. As it is nice and sturdy whereas usually I’d be reluctant to go up a couple of steps on a ladder I felt fine going up to the height I needed to reach the fittings on the pole. Made doing the job so much easier. It is heavier than an aluminium ladder but I am able to move and carry it on my own. I like how I can use it in the garden (on hard surfaces) and in the home.

Very sturdy when assembled comfortably used and feels safe to climb with very wide non slippery steps for a nice footing and the hand rails nice and padded and strong . 4 ☆☆☆☆ heavy but very good value for money.

Hands up all those who have enjoyed trying to fit something high up, whilst wobbling on a chair or stool, with nothing to hold on to, whilst holding tools, and whilst also trying to fit or paint the thing? Yes, me too. The KINGRACK 5-Step unit seems to offer a safe solution to the above scenario. Firstly, please note that I have bought these steps with my own money, and have no links to either the Seller or to the Manufacturer. KEY ADVANTAGES: Unquestionably it is the 5-Step height, combined with Handrails and a Top Bar, plus a Folding Tool Table that will make these very handy to have around the house. The Steps are stable, have wide rubber feet, wide steps, and will allow safe access to height, with the ability to have parts and tools on the table, to leave both hands free to do the work required. Be that task fitting, say, a ceiling light, painting the ceiling, or cleaning areas otherwise hard to get at, such as Picture Rails or the tops of Kitchen Units. I pondered a number of different Step models, and realised that all of the shorter ones were only marginally better than using a Stool or Chair. Then I looked at the 4-Step units, and ones with, or without Handrails and/or Folding Tables, and realised that these 5-Step units had absolutely everything I wanted. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS: The Steps arrive in a box, mostly pre-assembled sufficient to use straight out of the box, with just the Handrails and Folding Tool Tray & Upper Bar Unit still to fit. The Instructions are a little small, I'd suggest these should be at a larger scale, even if it means an extra sheet of A4 paper. But, with Reading Glasses, I could see what was what. The Steps came with an Installation Kit for the Handrails and Folding Tool Table unit, with a complete spare set of items for the Allen Head Bolts, Metal Washers, Plastic Bushes, Internally Threaded Pins and Allen Keys. So, even if you contrive to drop one, and it rolls under the sofa never to be seen again, you should have a spare. The Steps are metal NOT alloy and, whilst not lightweight, they seem strong, and are certainly not too heavy to move around the home. My wife has no problem with them. These look perfect for home DIY use, but they are NOT likely to be robust enough or suitable for Trade use, as they won't withstand being thrown into the back of a van several times a day, bashed with tins of paint, or climbed several times an hour all year. However, that said, these are not £400, as heavy duty Trade Steps would cost. For the price (around £85 to £110 depending on discount), they are very acceptable and sufficiently robust to probably last many years on the basis of occasional home use when needed. They would be fine for decorating a whole house for example, they are not flimsy at all, but they are not the bomb proof heavy duty alloy units a tradesman would use for long term daily work. ASSEMBLY: I stress all that needs to be assembled is the attachment of the Handrails and the Folding Tool Tray & Upper Bar unit. Indeed, you could omit both, but obviously the unit is better with them added, as is intended. The Instructions are OK, but do read them. The top images show the general assembly, the lower ones show the detail of which part goes where, and in what order. This is important, as the Plastic Bushes need to go in the correct order, for example, so that the Folding Table folds in and out smoothly. Worth noting that the Folding Table section is also partly assembled, and may seem that the two main pre-fitted Bolts and Nuts are loose, which is actually intentional. The Nuts are Nylock, so have been assembled as far as necessary, so that the Table can slide on the related runner and lock into, and out of position, when the Steps are un-folded or re-folded. Do NOT be tempted to tighten those two Bolts & Nuts any further, because they are correct as supplied. The Table and Upper Handle unit just slots into the main steps, and that is then secured by the shorter Inner Threaded Pins, with Washers on the Pins, and on the other side, the short threaded Allen Key Bolts inserted, and both are tightened using two Allen Key Tools (plus you get a 3rd Tool as a Spare). The Table has two lower support stay bars, and these attach to the main chassis with the longer Inner Threaded Pins, with the Plastic Bush next to the main Step Frame, then two more short Threaded Bolts insert into that, and are likewise tightened. The long vertical outer Handrails are perhaps the hardest to fit, as these are secured by the long Threaded Bolts, and those screw into Brass Threads recessed into the ends of both Handrails. Best tip is to fit these loosely initially, and make sure the Bolts have threaded correctly, so should initially tighten fine by hand. If very right, then start again, as you may have the Bolt cross-threaded. Keep adjusting until the top and bottom Bolts on both sides can be tightened initially by hand. Once definitely home and turning smoothly, then you can tighten with the Allen Keys, safe in the knowledge that the Bolts are going in straight. That's it, after that, the Steps are ready to use. Anyone can do this, but just plan the Assembly, stay logical, and take your time. Have a good look at my images, which may help to show how the Folding Table is fitted, which is perhaps not immediately obvious when you first go to fit it. NEGATIVES: Nothing really stands out, the Plastic Steps and Table will need to be treated sympathetically, and are unlikely to withstand careless man handling, or impacts from being dropped or hit. The plastic parts are fine for DIY use, so if you are sensible, they should all last many years. These Steps, when Folded, are wider than usual, as the Handrails do project out a few inches, so bear that in mind. Best would be to fit suitable hooks high enough up, and hang these high up on a wall, so they have a place to live, and are always readily accessible when you need them. Don't park them with a pile of other stuff in front of them, or else they won't be easy to use, when you need them. That's important, because these present a very safe way to work, so will work best if always readily accessible so that you DO use them, every time you need them. These are NOT for outdoor storage, because the steel will rust. So, whilst fine to do jobs outside, when the task is done, the Steps will need to be stored in doors or, in a dry Garage or Shed. I would also advise that you oil or grease the hinges after assembly, and then once a year to make sure everything unfolds and re-folds smoothly. Do that, and they'll always be ready for instant use, and should probably offer good service for many years.

Excellent 5-step ladders with handrails and tool tray. Very sturdy and safe feeling. Delighted with purchase. They are quite heavy, but that's a good thing for safety. The handrails are fixed so don't fold away. We keep ours in the garage, so no problem, more difficult to store in small house without much cupboard space.

I recieved my KINGRACK 5 step, folding ladder promptly and well packaged. At the time off purchase, the cost was £68.38 with the supplied discount voucher. You do need to assemble this ladder. Included in the package are easy to follow, instructions. It took me around 15 minutes to put everything together with the supplied tools. The actual structure is made from robust, high-strength steel with has a maximum weight capacity of 800lbs. They where not too heavy for me to move around but if you are an elderly person, you may find that you struggle slightly. When opened, the ladder forms a triangular structure that has a saftey-lock. This ladder comes with a very handy tool tray at the top. (DO NOT SIT ON THIS TRAY) It has segments for tools, a tin of paint, most things that you will use when doing DIY or painting. Along the sides are safety hand-rails which have been covered with soft sponge. This has been so handy for me, reducing the chance of my hands slipping when going up the ladder. The 5 wide steps are anti-slip. The four feet are also anti-slip. These ladders are exeptionaly well priced, even without a discount voucher. They have numerous safety features built in, which have been very important to me when using these ladders. I have used these ladders for the past 4 weeks to do several different tasks which have always made me feel very secure. I highly recommend these ladders.

Great product. Not as heavy as I thought would be. Sturdy. Durable material. Strong. Easy to open and fold. Perfect size and height. Definitely non-slip. From all kinds of steps I had before, this is the best. The holder support it side makes even safer.

Sturdy, construction. Fairly easy to assemble. The Utility tray at the top is a really useful and practical safety feature, to help you work in a safe way. Not particularly lightweight but that’s a matter of personal strength - in any case you need a 5 step ladder to be structurally sound. I believe that they are very good value for money. Finally, the grips are very useful, my only criticism (minor) is that they may not prove to be very durable if you use the ladders on a daily basis. All in all, a very good product. How I wish that these things could be made in this country (or even Europe) for a similar price but I’m afraid that’s just an unrealistic dream… My apologies, I can’t post photos or videos at the time of writing.

Super sturdy and easy to assemble. Pretty heavy to move for smaller people, but the weight adds to the stability. Very wide and deep steps, which feel safer than other ladders.

The ladder arrived earlier than we expected and was easy to put together. We were very pleased with how well it worked and it's stability. Would highly recommend

Echt een stevige trap en heel veilig! Brede treden antislip! En je kunt je goed vasthouden!

L' Escabeau à 5 Marches est super, les marches étant très larges, il est vraiment stable. Idéal pour décorer le sapin de Noël. Par contre, il est assez lourd, quant il faut le déplacer.

Was für ein tolles Gefühl. Endlich stehe ich wieder gerne auf einer Leiter. Die seitlichen Bügel und der obere Bügel geben große Sicherheit. Die Werkzeugablage ist hervorragend; endlich muss ich nicht ständig runter und hoch um Dinge zu holen. Diese Leiter hätte ich viel früher kaufen sollen. Ich habe alle anderen Leitern im Haus weggeworfen. Ein Kontakt mit dem Hersteller war in kurzer Zeit möglich, die Reaktion war äußerst kulant. Ich kann den Hersteller uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
