Ladders are useful for carrying out work both inside and outside the home. Ladders can be made from a variety of materials including aluminium and fibreglass, which are both durable and long lasting.
Step Ladders: Easy to store and fold, and safer to use than traditional ladders as the steps are broader.
Telescopic Ladders: Comfortable and portable to use as they collapse on themselves. Telescopic ladders are versatile and can be extended to any height. They are handy for work in and around the house.
Fixed Ladder: These ladders are permanently fixed to buildings and are usually equipped with landings, cages or rest platforms.
Extension Ladder: Usually equipped with more than two extensions, they allow you to work at more than one height.
Step Platform Ladder: These ladders have a platform on the top on which to place tools and other equipment.
These are different types of ladders with different advantages and you should shop around to find one that best suits your needs. Buying a ladder that is not appropriate for its intended purpose could lead to accidents.
