How to choose the right Ladder

1. What is the height of the top-step / platform?
2. How deep do you want the top-step / platform?
3. Steel or aluminum material?
4. What type of tread?
   1. Perforated for Steel
   2. Grip Strut for Steel or Aluminum
   3. Ribbed for Aluminum
5. How often will you be using the ladder? Frequently? Occasionally? You want to be you take into account where and how the ladder will rest safely when not in use.
6. What is the environment like where the ladder will be used? (i.e. slippery conditions, tight corners) Take a look around your facility. You want to ensure your ladder can easily fit through doorways, around corners and overhead obstructions.
7. What is the climbing angle?
   Standard angle is 56 degrees  *safety angle is 50 degrees
8. What weight capacity is required?
9. Do you prefer Step-Lock or Spring Loaded Casters?

Step on first step and step lock automatically engages the rubber feet and locks the ladder to the ground surface. Step on pedal and locking system disengages.

Retracts under weight of individual and rubber feet drop down and grip floor surface preventing the ladder from moving.

Entire ladder is welded. requires no assembly.

Perforated hole pattern and solid step provides excellent slip-resistance, self-cleaning and durability. Consists of holes and slots; upward facing holes for traction and downward facing slots for drainage. Suitable for most routine environments.

Grip Strut provides the most aggressive slip-resistance and self-cleaning properties. Most aggressive “anti slip” tread. Suitable for any environment where potentially slippery conditions exist due to being wet, greasy, oily, muddy or icy. Note: industrial footwear would be recommended.

Aluminum extruded tread with ribbed grooves provides a high level of slip-resistance. Option for aluminum rolling ladders along with Grip Strut. Solid aluminum treads with raised horizontal ribs for some traction. Only to be considered where there are no chances of slippery or hazardous conditions.
