Beldray 3-Way Aluminium Step

I bought a set of Beldray 3-way ladders a few years ago and used them foa a range of home improvements: decorating stairwell, painting high fences, and pointing brickwork. They are in and out of the garage frequently and have served me very well. They are very easy to position into the three positions and light enough to save energy for the work at hand. Camparing them to the Abru 3-way ladders which I use at my daughters house, the Beldray are far more robust.

i purchased a 3 way ladder a couple of years ago and have used it extensively on my home renovations.As a step ,iadder it has been excellent; Yesterday I was attempting to putty an upstairs window when the ladder suddenly buckled and unfolded throwing me to the ground.after cleaning up and bandaging myself I examined the ladder and it seemed entirely unscathed by its murderous episode. all I can deduce is that the spring clips that hold the top section to the rungs on the lower section must have sprung out,they certainly look inadequate on further inspection,I would advise a redesign. i have put the ladder back for stepladder duties only. Users be warned!

It does the job - sturdy enough to make you feel safe but flexible enough to make it lightweight. I have no complaints about this one.

I've owned a Beldray 3way ladder for over 5 years with no problems at all. It's been my main ladder for extensive renovation of a previously dilapidated Victorian house I bought in 2004.

Bought a Beldray 3-Way Aluminium Step Ladder. Leg buckled with rivet shearing off, so don't think it strong enough. Am writing to Beldray on address given to point out flaws - cannot find a website for them though.

I purchased a Beldray BS2037 1994 class 3 domestic duty rating step ladder about a year ago, and nearly crippled myself using it yesterday. One of the legs buckled where the bottom step is rivetted. I was admittedly balanced precariously at the top, but I am not a big man, nor was I carrying anything. The result was that I fell on my back badly, and was extremely lucky not to be crippled. I hit the corner of a wooden box 6 inches from my spine.

I am not suing. I only recommend that the bottom step be placed a couple of inches lower, so that there is less space for buckling. The principle seems to have been applied to the crossbar on the other side of the stepladder.
