Why Choose a Telescopic Ladder?
Telescopic ladders are increasingly chosen over traditional extension ladders due to their practical advantages.
Space-saving design
When collapsed, telescopic ladders take up minimal space, making them ideal for vans, cupboards, and confined storage areas.
Adjustable working height
Each ladder can be extended rung by rung, allowing you to work safely at the exact height required for the task.
Easy to transport
Lightweight aluminium construction makes telescopic ladders easy to carry, manoeuvre, and deploy on site or at home.
Versatile applications
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, telescopic ladders are widely used for maintenance, inspection, installation, and general access work.

Telescopic Ladder Sizes & Heights
Choosing the correct ladder height is essential for safe working. Our telescopic ladders are available in a range of extended heights to suit different applications.
- 2.6m – 3.2m: Ideal for indoor maintenance, loft access, and low-level exterior work
- 3.8m: Suitable for most domestic gutter and roof access tasks
- 4.4m: Designed for higher reach and professional use
All ladders can be partially extended, so you only use the height you need. If you’re unsure which size is right for your work, our ladder height guidance in the telescopic ladder buying guide can help you choose confidently.
Telescopic Ladder Weight Limits & Load Ratings
Safety starts with choosing the correct load rating. All telescopic ladders in our range are built to support the combined weight of the user and any tools or equipment being carried.
Most models are rated to 150kg, making them suitable for:
- Domestic users

- Light commercial environments
Always ensure the ladder you choose is appropriate for your working conditions and usage frequency.

Telescopic Ladder FAQs

The right ladder size depends on your job. For household tasks like painting or changing lightbulbs, a 2.6m–3.2m ladder is usually enough. For trade or outdoor use, we recommend 3.8m–4.7m ladders. Always check the maximum working height listed in the specifications.
Store in a dry location with locking mechanisms released to prevent stress. Ensure the ladder is clean and dry before putting it away long-term.
Use proper retraction technique and consider models with soft-close mechanisms. Never rush the collapse process and keep fingers clear of moving parts.
