Aluminium Extension Ladders

An extension ladder is a convenient and secure solution to access hard-to-reach heights. This useful equipment consists of two sections, connected with aluminium brackets, that can be extended or contracted depending on how high you need to go. Setting up the ladder is simple — just extend it according to your desired height after pulling out both parts and securing their locking mechanisms in place!

FAQs

What is the safest angle for an extension ladder?

The safe angle for an extension ladder is approximately 75.5 degrees, equivalent to a 4:1 ratio of ladder length to the distance from the wall. This angle allows for a stable base and secure grip, reducing the risk of the ladder slipping or tipping over.

How far can you safely extend an extension ladder?

This depends on the expandable ladder’s length, design and the weight it’s carrying. Generally, extending the ladder no more than 3 to 4 feet is recommended beyond the point it will rest against. It’s always important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines to use your ladder safely.

What should you avoid when using extension ladders?

When using an extension ladder, it is crucial to avoid the following:

  • Overloading the ladder with more weight that it can hold
  • Placing the ladder on an unstable surface
  • Using the ladder at an incorrect angle (i.e. too steep or too shallow)
  • Extending the ladder too far as it can become unstable or tip over
  • Failing to secure the locking mechanisms before climbing the ladder
  • Reaching too far out from the ladder and causing the ladder to tip or the person to lose their balance
  • Using the ladder in high winds or other hazardous weather conditions
  • Climbing the ladder without wearing proper footwear
  • Placing the ladder near electrical wires or other hazardous objects
  • Neglecting to inspect the ladder for any damage or wear before using it

By avoiding the above, you can make the most of your extension ladder without causing accidents.
