How To Choose A Ladder

KEY ELEMENTS OF LADDER SELECTION

Provided by

Our goals are very simple: We want to help you better understand how to choose the right ladder for the job and learn how to use ladders more safely. Four key elements of ladder selection are Height, Performance, Materials, and Unique Product Solutions.

HEIGHT
A common mistake is thinking your ladder will reach higher than it does. Your needed reach height determines the right ladder size.

PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
Consider job demands and load capacity. Account for all users that may use the ladder. What is the frequency of use? Will you be hauling heavy materials up the ladder?

MATERIALS MATTER
Choose what's best for you. FIBERGLASS: Maximum safety and durability. ALUMINUM: Lightweight and strong.

UNIQUE PRODUCT SOLUTIONS
Discover styles designed to keep you safe. Are you comfortable on traditional ladders? Is storage & transportation a concern? Will you be working on uneven ground?
