When you store things a little higher up so they’re out of reach of children and other overly curious beings, they tend to stay out of reach. And accessing those when you need them can get a little dangerous. Steps and Step Ladders can help you quickly and safely access those all while being ergonomic, compact, and easy on the eyes.
We at Direct2U highly recommend Hailo if you are looking for products that need to perform, both in function and form. Combining ultramodern technology and attractive designs, their wide range of products meet high safety standards. Day-to-day products need to be able to allow users to focus on the task at hand and trust the tools that help them.
Why Choose Hailo?
Hailo materials and components are rigorously tested in the laboratory and in practice before their approval for series production. That is why we believe that Hailo Steps and Step Ladders are the ideal partners when it comes to trustworthy and versatile tools.
In 2014, Hailo won the coveted Plus X Award for being the ‘Most Innovative Brand of the Year 2014’ in the Accessories category. Hailo products have not only bagged industry awards for innovation, high quality, and functionality but were also highly praised by consumer associations for their quality. In 2007, Hailo has been declared one of the ‘Brands of the Century’ in German-speaking markets.
With 60 years of expertise in the industry, Hailo has been developing and producing all its ladders in Germany with experienced personnel. As a result, retailers, end users and distributors (that’s us!) look out for the red dot trademark of Hailo, which is a symbol for quality and safety worldwide.
As we currently have quite a few Hailo Products on our website, hopefully this bestsellers guide can help you swiftly choose the right product for your needs!
Hailo Steps
If you are looking for just a couple of steps to get that extra bit of access, then Steps are exactly what you need. Hailo offers a wide range of steps that are available with and without safety rails. Look out for their most compact designs and safety features such as hinged locks and release functions.
The ergonomic options are perfect for household applications, such as in the kitchen or for home improvement. We specially like the Hailo Klettermax, which has a foldable felt top and retractable steps so you can use it as steps or as a chair! The Hailo Safety Plus sports knee rests so leaning against it is quite comfortable! 
For your peace of mind, the entire Hailo Steps range is GS Approved and is EN 14183 compliant, which is the European standard for domestic steps.

Hailo Step Ladders
For places that are harder to reach, Hailo Step Ladders are a valuable addition to your tool shed. Compact and available in up to 8 steps, Hailo offers step ladders with aluminium or steel platforms. If you are looking for DIY options, most of these step ladders come with a bucket hook or a very useful multi-function tray. You can depend on the safety rail for a firmer grip, and the XXR range offers an extendable rail! If you plan to use your step ladder outside, the Hailo XXL Garden & Home is a very versatile step ladder with base rails.
Some of these Step Ladders have the patented Hailo hinge protection for additional security. For greater strength, steps have a non-slip ribbed finish and are all attached to the frame with rivets. Serrated foot caps help reduce slips and provide better contact with the floor. If you need a double-sided step ladder, we can’t recommend the Hailo L90 enough!
For your peace of mind, all of Hailo’s Step Ladders are GS Approved and are EN 131 compliant, which is the European standard for light industrial use of step ladders.
