A telescopic ladder is one of the most versatile ladders on the market. Whether you’re painting, cleaning your windows, or you need to get into the loft, they are perfect for the job. They are easy to set up and store, and their aluminium construction means they are lightweight but safe and durable. But what are the benefits of using a telescopic ladder and why choose one from our range?

How does a telescopic ladder work?

It gets its name from the fact that it works like a telescope. Each section of the ladder collapses on itself which makes transport and storage so easy. You can also extend it to the exact height that you require. So far, so good. But there are also more benefits of using a telescopic ladder.

They are great if you’re working in tight, awkward spaces

Because a telescopic ladder extends to the exact height you need, you can work in areas where space is limited. There’s no need to try and fit a big, clunky ladder into your work area.

A telescopic ladder is simple to use

You won’t need to work out how to unfold or secure the ladder, it easily extends and retracts on itself.

They look good

Whether the aesthetic is important to you or not, we can’t deny that a telescopic ladder looks the part. Forget about lugging around a beaten up old ladder, opt for a sleek, streamlined, telescopic model.

Why choose our telescopic ladder?

Surely all telescopic ladders are pretty much the same, right? Actually, they aren’t. Do a Google search and you’ll find some models that are certainly cheap. But what you’re saving in pounds and pennies, you’re sacrificing in quality and safety.

Our telescopic ladder is certified to BS EN-131 which means that it meets stringent safety standards. Certified ladders are stronger, wider, and sturdier. You just don’t know what you’re getting if you go cheap.

To comply with the safety standards, our model can hold a maximum weight of 150kg and there are other safety features too. Like:

  • A sturdy stabiliser bar with rubber moulded feet for maximum stability;
  • A red tread that marks the top tread to prevent the user from overreaching;
  • Air compression technology that helps control how fast the ladder retracts-no more trapped fingers!

Add to all this the fact that our option is lightweight (only 14kg) and it folds away easily for compact storage in your garage or works van.

Whether you want a ladder for home or work use, you can’t go wrong with a product from our range. When it comes to ladder safety, don’t cut corners and go cheap. Choose quality.
