    At a maximum interval of eight steps, the standard step is replaced by a spreader, which is an elongated version of the standard machined step, with a minimum length of 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in). The spreader's function is to prevent the ladder from twisting in the prevailing weather conditions when in use.
