Telescopic ladder

[Guest]

Who uses one of these?

I have a few friends that use them and it has enabled them to get rid of there roof racks / bars and double / triple ladders.

Does anyone here use them?

Any good?

These are what I have in my van perfectfor garage roofs etc and also great steps for conservatory roofs or windows above extra large extensions etc.

also 150kg which is good for us fat fellas lol.

great for when I have to trim my hedges in the garden to as the ones I got off eBay have a platform also.

I personally don't trust them, too much flex, borrowed one to try once and did 1 window before I went to my normal ladder

It's funny that my double a frame window cleaning ladders are not certified yet the telescopic ladders I've linked to are class 2 or EN1321 I think it is

I've got some in the van only used a couple of times, I just find it quicker and easier to whip the ladders off the roof rack.

Lol put me off a bit?!

Screwfix sell some that are trade rated go with a trusted supplier so with any issues you can return. I have had mine over 6 years now without issue but bought online from who I can't remember.

I have a set of telesteps also i use for my loft they don't have the functions for a step ladder, I'm 18 stone and these multi purpose ladders have no flex at all I'm not a natural on ladders but these feel really safe and secure stabilising bar, fit in a real tight space take seconds to put up the only downside is the weigh a fair bit for their size due to the solid construction.

I have the screwfix ones made by mcalister

Very stable and trade rated

Every rung has red/green indicators on each end which go green when securely locked in

As long as you have a quick look you can be sure they are safe before you climb them

They are great ! Tried them , know they are totally safe , but man i dont like the idea of that sucker collapsing with me up there ...  :63_astonished:

I've watched the video so many times and I can't understand why he fell?

 

[David K]

Maybe he,s a "Fallguy "  :2_grinning:

It wasn't the ladder that was the cause

It was the numpty not putting his foot on the rung properly and slipping

I love my telescopic ladder

Only 3.8m but enough for garage roofs etc
