Hi guys,
Check out our new Blog, here's a taster.
They’re great for use in many situations because they’re simple and easy to set up. But one of the fundamental drawbacks of ladders is their instability at height. If a worker is carrying out work on a standard two-legged ladder, even with extra support in the form of ties or stabilisers, there is a high chance of the ladder becoming unbalanced if it extends above a few metres in height.
As an example, the step ladder is specifically designed to be used at low heights, as it can support itself on its own four feet, and doesn’t have to be attached to an additional structure. This gives step ladders a distinct advantage over two-legged ladders when it comes to providing a stable working platform for workers. The only issue is that step ladders do not provide much more than a couple of metres height before they, too become unstable.
