Storage & Access / BUYING REFERENCE

Step-ladder sizes and storage

Compare a step ladder’s platform or standing height separately from its overall height. A reach figure depends on how it is defined and should not be used as a promise that every person can work at that height. The working space, floor conditions and task also affect the appropriate choice of access equipment. Read the exact ladder’s instructions and duty specification before ordering. For home storage, check the folded width and depth as well as the number of steps.

MATCH THE DETAILS TO YOUR JOB

What to check before buying

  1. Check the permitted standing level, platform height and overall dimensions in the manufacturer’s specification.
  2. Compare the total allowed load with the user and carried equipment, using the exact ladder’s stated limit.
  3. Confirm the intended duty, required floor conditions and suitability for the task in the manufacturer’s instructions.
  4. Measure the open footprint and folded dimensions against the working area, doorway and storage location.
