In the market for a ladder that’s versatile, compact, and easy to transport? Telescopic ladders should be your first port of call. But where did they come from Here’s the lowdown on their history.
The directors and founders of Teletower, the access solutions company, invented the world’s first telescopic ladder. Jim and Richard Weston had the initial idea of using a telescopic action in a ladder. The aim was to design a ladder that people could use in emergencies, like if they needed to escape from a burning building.
It soon became apparent that they are a great everyday option too. Think about tradesmen or professionals like surveyors. They need a ladder they can use in many different situations. They also need a ladder that can fit comfortably in a car boot or van. Telescopic ladders were the perfect solution.
They haven’t been around as long as other types of ladders. However, there are a lot of benefits to using a telescopic ladder.
Telescopic ladders have a collapsible and adjustable frame. This allows you to set them to the exact height you need for the job you’re doing.
Their lightweight construction means they are incredibly easy to transport and carry around. This makes them the perfect choice for tradesmen and other professionals travelling from job to job.
They fold down to a compact size so it’s easy to store them in a shed, garage, van, or car boot.
