Industrial and Aluminum Ladders - Types and Safety Standards

Types of Industrial Ladders

Choosing the right ladder depends on working height, task type, and work environment. Safety is the priority when working at heights.

1. Folding Aluminum Ladder

Lightweight and easy to transport and store. Ideal for home use and light work. Available in 3-6 meter heights.

2. Extension Ladder

Extendable to great heights up to 12 meters. For outdoor work and building maintenance.

3. Multi-Purpose Ladder

Converts between several forms: straight ladder, A-frame, scaffold, and extension ladder. Most versatile.

4. Platform Ladder

With wide platform at the top for stable standing. Suitable for work requiring long time at height.

5. Scaffold Tower

For working over wide areas at heights. With lockable wheels and wide work platform.

Safety Standards

  • Don't exceed the specified maximum load.
  • Place the ladder on a level, solid surface.
  • Maintain 3 points of contact at all times (two hands and one foot, or one hand and two feet).
  • Don't work on a ladder in strong winds.
  • Inspect the ladder before each use.
