« It looks like it would flex under me. »

Every ladder is listed with its weight, its folded height and its rung count. Where the manufacturer has confirmed a load rating, we print it. Where they have not, we leave it blank instead of guessing. You will know exactly what we know.

« I will pick the wrong height. »

Four questions and you have the right model, neither too short nor oversized for the job. If it still is not right when it arrives, you have 30 days to send it back.

Not sure which model to choose?

Tell our adviser what the job is and how high you need to reach. He tells you the length — and whether you need the hooks.

Questions

What people ask before buying.

Straight answers, including the ones that do not flatter us.

Which height do I actually need?

As a rule you can work about a metre above the highest rung you stand on. A 3.8 m ladder reaches a single-storey gutter comfortably; a two-storey gutter needs 5 m or more.

There is a height guide on this site that matches the job to the length. If you are between two sizes, take the longer one — a ladder that is too short gets used badly.

Will it fit in my car?

The folded height is printed on every product page in centimetres, right next to the weight. Measure your boot with the seats down and compare the two numbers before you order.

It is the figure most sellers leave out, and it is the one that decides whether the ladder is any use to you.

Is a telescopic ladder as stable as a normal one?

It is, on two conditions that apply to any ladder. Extend the sections you are using all the way — never stop halfway on a section that has not locked. And set the angle at roughly 75 degrees: the foot stands out from the wall about a quarter of the height it reaches.

On soft, sloping or uneven ground that angle matters more than anything else about the ladder.

What does the maximum load figure actually mean?

Our ladders are rated for 150 kg. That is the total they carry: you, your clothes, your boots, your tools and whatever you take up with you. Not just your body weight.

Which leaves room. A 95 kg person with a full tool belt is still well inside 150 kg.

The figure in each specification table is the manufacturer's rating, and it is the same 150 kg across the range.

What if I pick the wrong size or model?

Send it back within 30 days and we refund you. Returns are free: the pre-paid label is in the packaging, and you do not have to give a reason.

That covers the wrong length as much as a change of mind. A ladder that turns out too short is exactly the case this is for — and it is a common one, because most sellers never print the folded height or the weight.

To get it right first time: the height guide on this site matches the job to the length, every model page prints its folded height, its weight and its load, and if you are still between two sizes you can ask us before ordering.

Is it aluminium or stainless steel?

Aluminium. You will see telescopic ladders advertised as stainless steel — sometimes by the same shop selling the same ladder both ways, at two different prices.

A stainless steel ladder of this length would weigh roughly three times as much. The weight printed on every product page is the proof. Compare it to anything sold to you as steel.
