Essential Ladders for Every Task
A must-have whether you’re working in a warehouse, factory, or on an industrial site, ladders provide safe and reliable access to hard-to-reach areas. The right ladder makes maintenance, inspections, and repairs easier, safer, and more efficient.
All different types of ladders are available to cater to different needs, from sturdy indoor step ladders to platform ladders allowing you to reach any height with confidence, and telescopic ladders for compact storage and ultimate portability. Every ladder is designed to achieve the perfect balance of stability, reach, and convenience.
Choosing the Right Ladder
The type of ladder you require will come down to the task, environment, and safety requirements that must be considered. For a wide working platform and stability, extension ladders provide adjustable height for outdoors, and multi-purpose ladders give flexibility for unconventional tasks or varying angles. Platform ladders and step stools are designed around improving comfort and accessibility for any low-level work. Telescopic ladders are ideal for combining portability with moderate reach.
Selecting the right ladder is crucial for improving efficiency, productivity, and safety across any site. If you’re not sure which is the right ladder for you, get in touch with us and we can help to pick the perfect solution for you.
LADDER FAQS
In the UK, ladder use is governed by regulations such as the Work at Height Regulations 2005, which require employers to ensure ladders are suitable, properly maintained, and used safely to prevent falls and injuries. Workers must only use ladders if there is a low risk and if the task will take less than 30 minutes, otherwise alternative equipment should be used.
Ladders should be visually inspected before each use, and a thorough formal inspection should be carried out at least once every 12 months or according to manufacturer recommendations.
Most ladders in the UK are rated according to the European standard EN 131, with common weight classes supporting up to 150 kg, including the user and any carried tools.
Ladders should be stored in a dry, secure place away from extreme temperatures and chemicals, ideally hung or laid flat to prevent warping, bending, or damage.
