A Consumer’s Walkthough on Ladders
Looking for a ladder? Here’s some info to help you find the right one. The quite versatile ladder is the rigid ladder, and it’s often used for many tasks. Rigid ladders have many kinds – fixed, extension, step, platform step, and roof. The fixed ladder is the simplest of these and has no moving parts. Extension ladders are composed to two ladders where one can retract into the other for easy storage. Joined by a hinge at the top, and often forming an inverted V, are step ladders. If you need some space to place things like paint cans, you might need a platform ladder, which has a platform at the top. If you need to climb up the roof or do some outdoor house painting, you need a roof ladder, which has a hook at the top, for easy latching on the roof. Aluminium is the choice material for various ladders, except those for electrical work.
