Description
A ladder you cannot store is a ladder you do not own. The Extension folds to just over a metre and opens to 6.2 metres, so it lives in a van boot, a hall cupboard or behind a door and still reaches the second floor gutter.
Each rung locks on the way up, and the pins click audibly so you can check the joint by ear rather than by eye. Aluminium keeps the carry weight at 16.5 kilograms for a 6.2 metre reach, and the wide feet spread the load on soft ground. The detachable standoff hooks hold the top clear of render and fascia, which is the part that scuffs a wall on every other ladder.
The build suits trade work and the jobs a homeowner postpones for years, from painting a stairwell to clearing a blocked downpipe. It collapses without tools and stores upright in the width of a broom.
Storage decides whether a ladder survives. Left outside, pins seize, feet split and joints fill with grit. Folded to about 109 centimetres it goes back in the van or the cupboard after every job, so the mechanism stays clean and the ladder still works in five years. The carry strap puts the weight on one shoulder for the walk from the vehicle to the wall.
Reach is a storage problem until the ladder folds into a metre.

Trade And Home Use
Built for decorators, window cleaners, roofers and anyone servicing a two storey building who has to move between sites in a car or van. It also suits homeowners clearing gutters, cutting back a hedge line, painting a stairwell or reaching a loft hatch. The standoff hooks and the folded length are the two details that separate it from a fixed ladder, because they change how often you actually use it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it safe at full extension?
Use it on firm level ground with the feet flat and the locks engaged. At 6.2 metres, keep three points of contact and do not lean out past the stiles.
Q: How heavy is it to move alone?
About 16.5 kilograms. One person can carry it folded and lift it into a van without help.
Q: Does it fit in a car boot?
Folded at about 109 centimetres it fits most hatchbacks, estates and van boots with the seats down or upright in a van.
Q: What do the hooks do?
They hold the ladder off render, gutter and fascia so the top does not scuff the wall and you get a handhold above the rung line.
Q: Can it be used on stairs?
Yes, one section extended works for stairwells. Set the feet on a level tread or use a board to spread the load.
Q: How do I check the locks?
Extend section by section and pull upward on each rung until the pin clicks. If a pin does not engage, collapse and reset that section.
Q: What maintenance does it need?
Wipe the sections dry after wet work and keep grit out of the joint channels. Check the pins and feet before each use.
Q: Can one person raise it alone?
Yes. Extend it section by section from the base, checking each pin as it clicks, and lean the ladder against the wall before you climb.
Q: Does aluminium conduct electricity?
Aluminium is conductive, so keep the ladder clear of live wiring and never use it near overhead lines. That applies to every metal ladder, not to this one in particular.
Q: How should it be stored?
Collapsed, dry and off damp ground. Wipe the sections after wet weather so grit and water do not sit in the joint channels, which is what makes sliders stiff.
