The best ladder depends on more than height alone. Think about where you will be working, how often the ladder needs to be moved and whether you have a suitable supporting surface.
Working Height
Choose a ladder that provides suitable access to the work area without requiring unsafe reaching or positioning.
Work Environment
Indoor maintenance, construction sites and outdoor projects can have different access requirements. The surface and available working space should also be considered.
Type of Work
A ladder used for occasional maintenance may have different requirements from one used regularly by contractors or site teams.
Portability
If equipment needs to move frequently between work areas, size, weight and ease of handling become particularly important.
