About TB Davies
TB Davies (Cardiff) Ltd is a British access equipment manufacturer and distributor with a long history of producing ladders for the UK professional market. The company is based in Cardiff, Wales, and makes a comprehensive range of aluminium ladders, step ladders, platform steps, combination ladders, loft ladders and scaffold towers under the TB Davies brand and its professional trade ranges.
TB Davies produces ladders and access equipment to EN 131, the European standard for portable ladders, in Class I (professional) and Class II (domestic) ratings. Class I professional ladders are rated for higher loads and more frequent use than Class II domestic ladders, which makes them the correct specification for tradespeople who rely on ladders as part of their daily work rather than the occasional household job. The distinction between Class I and Class II matters both for user safety and for insurance and employer liability purposes.
The TB Davies PROMASTER scaffold tower range offers a modular working-at-height solution for tasks needing a stable platform at heights from 1.2 m to 12 m and above. It sits higher and steadier than a ladder for sustained work in painting, plastering, electrical installation, ceiling work and building maintenance. The tower system uses standard aluminium frame and deck components that two people can assemble without specialist training.
Products We Can Supply from TB Davies
Extension ladders — Class I professional. TB Davies aluminium extension ladders come in two-section and three-section formats from 2.5 m to 7.5 m closed length, extending to working heights of 6 m to 11 m, and are EN 131 Class I (professional) rated to a 150 kg working load. They feature wide-diameter rungs, non-slip feet and positive locking rung hooks, and are used by painters, decorators, roofers, electricians and general maintenance contractors as everyday working access.
Step ladders and platform steps. The range covers TB Davies aluminium step ladders in 3-tread to 12-tread configurations for internal and external work, platform step ladders with large anti-slip top platforms for comfortable standing during sustained jobs, and TB Davies combination ladders that convert between step ladder, extension ladder and staircase configurations for versatile access across different requirements.
Scaffold towers — PROMASTER series. The TB Davies PROMASTER aluminium scaffold tower comes in narrow (0.85 m) and standard (1.45 m) frame widths for internal and external use, with platform heights from 1.2 m to 8.2 m in standard configurations and further reach when additional frames are added. Outriggers provide stability on uneven ground and trap-door access decks allow safe entry to platform level. It is available as complete kits or as individual components.
Loft ladders and specialist access. The TB Davies SUPREME loft ladder is built in timber and aluminium for attic hatch access in domestic and commercial buildings, with concertina and sliding designs to suit different hatch configurations. Specialist access equipment includes roof ladders, lashing kits and standoff brackets for safe ladder positioning during roof work.
Industries
TB Davies access equipment is used by painters and decorators, electricians and plumbers, roofers and guttering contractors, building and maintenance contractors, facilities management operatives, and any professional tradesperson who needs safe, certified access for working at height in domestic, commercial and industrial environments.

Good to Know
Ladders used at work must be inspected before each use and formally inspected at regular intervals under the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Any ladder with damaged rungs, bent stiles, missing non-slip feet or illegible load rating labels must be removed from service. TB Davies ladders carry clear Class I load rating markings. Get in touch if you need to replace out-of-service access equipment or expand your fleet for a new contract.
