Folding ladders

Do you need a new household ladder but are not sure what type of ladder is right for you? We would be happy to shed some light on this.

Wood
Until the second half of the 20th century, almost all ladders were made of wood. The ladder makers set out to sell their wooden ladders and to repair defective ladders directly to customers.
From the 1960s onwards, wood was largely replaced by aluminum as a conductor material because it is more robust and lighter. Nevertheless, electricians in particular rely on wooden ladders because they cannot transmit electricity

Aluminum
If you need a flexible, practical folding ladder and electricity flow is not a problem, it is better to use aluminum. The material is not only particularly light, but also offers maximum stability.
Despite their slim design and low weight, aluminum ladders can withstand up to 150 kilograms.

Conclusion: You can easily shoulder an aluminum ladder - just like your next project.

Pedestal: Like the cherry on the cake – a wide platform made of robust steel completes a folding ladder. On the one hand, this offers space to store tools and, on the other hand, it also offers greater stability.

Sprouts: How many steps should there be? We offer models with two to twelve levels. The large tread surface with non-slip grooves ensures stability at all working heights.

Rubber cover: To ensure that the floor is not accidentally scratched when using the ladder, the handrail of the ladder is often coated with rubber.

Roles: Models with maneuverable wheels can be repositioned particularly effortlessly. As soon as you step on a step, the spring-loaded rollers automatically brake and the ladder remains firmly on the ground.

Folding mechanism: The practical folding system ensures that the ladder can be tidied up to save space.

Railing: The higher the ladder, the more important it is to have railings on both sides. Hold on to it to climb up and down without being dizzy.

Especially with an everyday item like a folding ladder, you no longer have to worry about its correct use over time. However, we never tire of emphasizing that safety always comes first. Please always keep the following safety recommendations in mind:

Shoes: Although tempting, do not use the ladder barefoot. Always wear sturdy shoes with a grippy tread.

Weather: Our folding ladders are generally intended for indoor use. They can be used in a variety of ways - whether in the basement, in the attic, or in living areas. If you use the ladders in the garden, always pay attention to good weather. This means the ladder can't slip and you can work on your complexion at the same time.

Readiness for action: Before you take the first step up, check that the stepladder is working properly. Is the joint locked? Is the ladder stable and not damaged? Then you can get started!

burden: Craft work with a heavy drill? No problem! As long as the recommended load limit of the ladder is not exceeded.

Balance: Put your shopping on the high shelf? Take the time you need and don't load yourself with 100 things at the same time. Feel free to move the ladder if necessary rather than leaning in one direction. Although we would all like to be acrobats, you should definitely avoid the danger of a ladder tipping over.

Instruction manual: Every folding ladder differs sometimes more or less in how it works. Therefore, read the instructions carefully before first use.

floor: To ensure a secure stand, the folding ladder may only be set up on firm and completely level ground.

Maintenance: Clean and maintain the folding ladder to ensure it lasts a long time. Pay attention to the manufacturer's care instructions. Warm water is usually enough to remove coarse dirt. If possible, store the ladder in a dry place.
