Which aluminium ladder is the best for me and my job?

Choosing the right ladder for your work activities is not always easy; there are so many types to choose from. So, how do you find the ladder that is the most suitable for you and your job? And what are the advantages specific to each type of ladder? This blog explains the differences and will help you choose the perfect ladder for you.

One thing is certain: with Altrex ladders you can work safely at heights. Nevertheless, the type of ladder you choose might just make the difference in your work.

Which type of ladder is best for you?

In order to determine the best ladder for you, you must first consider in which work activities you will use your ladder the most. If you know you will be moving your ladder a lot—because you will be carrying out work at several locations in a short time period— then a single straight ladder or a telescopic ladder can be extremely useful.

If your job needs to be carried out at great heights, then a combination ladder or extendable ladder is the more logical choice due to their reach. A folding ladder is very suitable for varied work activities due to it multi-functionality. A great advantage about this ladder is that you can put it in four different positions.

However, if you are looking for fixed access—for example, reaching the roof of a building—then a hoop ladder is the best option.

The telescopic ladder is compact and easy to transport. The extendable ladders consist of two parts and are therefore suitable for reaching greater heights. The single straight ladder consists of one part, as the name implies, and remains the same length when used or stored.
