Hi guys , does any one use telescopic ladders , I have a couple cleans where I can't get ladders in , I use a pole but I need to polish up some windows for the customer any recommendations welcome

 
im going to be buying some for on my trolley, in the next few weeks. will let you know what theyre like... i expect the feet to be a nightmare... and more than the usual movement with less of a safe lean angle.

 
ive never used them but i hurd a guy once had it colepsd on him maby he did not set it up rite they seem a good ider tho

A few years back i'd have been that soldier, nowadays I rely on myself to check the equipment is in good condition, set up right and sturdy.

Sometimes you can set up a ladder worse than you know...

 
I use a telescopic with my trolley set up, mainly for scaling over walls etc... and the odd low cottage 1st floor windows.

Can't remember where I got it online...

2 years old still in good condition, make sure you double check the click when extending the ladder.

The feet are pretty good and never lost traction there again I wouldn't do anything foolish with it.

 
Tried Them a few times , great tool as you dont smash anything around in a house on inside cleans! Must say i hated it at first , standing up there knowing that thing could collapse on you anytime , but it didnt ,and im 87 kg ! So ... /emoticons/biggrin.png Its a trust issue , the invention is great :thumbsup:

 
I've had one for four years. Great piece of kit. I use it as an access ladder to get to flat roofs etc with a pole.
