Step Ladder Rowenta KASTOM 1x8-step Aluminum Ladder 150 kg Load Capacity 216 cm Working Height

The Rowenta KASTOM 1x8-step Aluminum Ladder is a compact, lightweight stepladder intended for household and light professional use. Made from corrosion-resistant aluminum, it features eight wide non-slip steps and a top platform that help users reach a working height of up to 216 cm while supporting a maximum load of 150 kg. Its folding design allows for easy transport and storage, making it suitable for painting, installation, maintenance, and general access tasks around the home or small worksites.

Advantages

Built from aluminum, the ladder combines low weight with durability and corrosion resistance for long-term use. The eight anti-slip steps and a stable frame provide secure footing and improved balance during ascent and descent. With a 150 kg load capacity and a 216 cm working height, it accommodates most domestic and light trade tasks while folding compactly for convenient handling and storage.

Suitable for

• Home maintenance and interior painting
• Light electrical and plumbing installation tasks
• Cleaning gutters, windows, and high surfaces
• Changing light bulbs and accessing cupboards or shelves

When it may not be suitable

This ladder is designed for household and light professional tasks and is not intended for heavy industrial use, scaffolding replacement, or environments requiring certified fall-arrest systems. It may be too short for very tall ceilings, high façades, or large-scale construction projects where greater working height and load capacity are required.

Key specifications

• Material: aluminum frame for corrosion resistance and reduced weight
• Number of steps: 8 non-slip steps plus top platform
• Maximum working height: 216 cm
• Maximum load capacity: 150 kg
• Design: folding stepladder for compact storage and transport

How to use

Place the ladder on a firm, level surface and fully extend and lock any safety braces before climbing. Face the ladder while ascending, maintain three points of contact, and avoid overreaching—move the ladder as needed to stay within a safe reach. Use the top platform only as intended for brief tasks; do not stand on the ladder’s top cap if it is not rated for standing. After use, fold the ladder according to the manufacturer’s folding mechanism and store it in a dry place to preserve the aluminum finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Required working height compared to the ladder’s 216 cm reach
• Load needs including user weight plus tools and equipment up to 150 kg
• Surface where the ladder will be used—ensure a stable, level base
• Frequency of use: occasional household tasks versus daily professional use

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, inspect the ladder for damage or loose fittings before each use, wear appropriate footwear with good grip, and avoid using the ladder in strong winds or on slippery surfaces. For higher or industrial tasks, consider equipment with greater height and different certification.
