TELESCOPIC LADDER
Thinking of taking a more modern approach to ladders? Telescopic Ladders are the ideal portable ladder for reaching heights between 910mm and 3810mm due to their extendable nature. This also makes them ideal for compact storage when not required, and they fit in transit vans to deter theft.

Climb-It's Telescopic Ladderscan easily expand and contract using a single button. This speeds up the process of setting up and putting away the ladder. A controlled retraction process prevents the risk of fingers getting trapped in the mechanism.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR ACCESS EQUIPMENT
When purchasing access equipment, it is crucial to consider a range of features to ensure you choose the right ladder to suit your personal needs.
Height: Making sure you can reach your required height without overreaching is fundamental
Material: It is important to consider that the jobs you intend to do on your ladder is suitable for its material. Whilst aluminium ladders are budget-friendly, their conductive nature makes them a hazardous choice for those who will be working with electrics
Transportation: The need to move ladders around a workplace environment can play a large role in ladder decision-making. Castors can make movement simple for permanently upright work platforms, whilst a foldable ladder is the ideal solution for tradesmen who will be on different sites daily
Storage: Ladders do not have to become a permanent feature in the workplace. Foldable and collapsible ladders are great for compact storage solutions
Time on the ladder: If you plan on spending long laborious hours on a ladder, such as for painting and decorating, an additional platform can be the most comfortable form of ladder. If the ladder is simply an aid to get from the floor to another heightened platform, however, rungs are ideal for short-term use.
STANDARDS AND CERTIFICATION
It is essential to assess the safety regulations your ladder conforms to before purchase. Whilst not always a legal requirement, some workplaces prefer ladders meet well-recognised safety standards, and require certification.
Our range includes access equipment meeting GS Standard, EN-131, Class I and Class III. Additionally, the ladders we offer have all been tested and selected based on their performance and durability.
This includes our entire Kick Step collection, which is approved to GS Safety Standards. This ensures your in safe hands, even when reaching stock just shy of your natural grasp. Additionally, our Climb-It Telescopic Ladder is approved to EN-131, which means it meets European Norm standards for portable ladders.
