Planetarrium Hub Dura Heavy Duty Foldable Ladder for Home with Anti Skid Shoes and Knee Support (5 Step)

The Planetarrium Hub Dura Heavy Duty 5-Step Ladder is the "Goldilocks" model of the series—offering more reach than the compact 4-step but remaining easier to handle than the taller 6-step. It is specifically designed for standard Indian apartments with ceiling heights between 9 and 10 feet.

Here are the key features for the 5-step model:

🛠️ Construction & Height

• Optimal Height: The 5th step (top platform) usually sits at approximately 4 feet (120 cm) from the ground. This allows a person of average height to comfortably reach ceiling fans and top shelves without standing on their tiptoes.

• Heavy-Duty Steel Alloy: Built with high-strength steel pipes that are powder-coated. This finish makes the ladder resistant to scratches and corrosion, making it suitable for both indoor and balcony storage.

• Load Capacity: Like other "Dura" models, it is engineered for heavy lifting, supporting a weight capacity of up to 150–200 kg.

🛡️ Safety & Stability Features

• Extended Knee Support: The frame extends above the top platform to provide a sturdy handrail or knee guard. This is critical for 5-step ladders to ensure the user doesn't feel "top-heavy" or dizzy when standing on the highest level.

• Extra-Wide Anti-Skid Steps: The steps are designed with a wide surface area and deep anti-slip serrations (grooves). This provides a firm grip even if you are wearing slippers or socks.

• Precision Grip Shoes: The legs are capped with high-grade, non-marring PVC "shoes." These are designed to grip smooth surfaces like marble or vitrified tiles without leaving scuff marks or slipping.

• Automatic Safety Lock: The ladder features a locking hinge that clicks into place once fully opened, preventing the frame from shifting while you are climbing.

📋 Technical Specifications

💡 Why choose the 5-Step?

The 5-step is the most versatile size for home use. While a 4-step might leave you just short of a high ceiling fan, and a 6-step can be bulky to carry through narrow hallways, the 5-step Dura provides the perfect balance of height and portability.
