After my near death experience with Telesteps, I will not use anything but my Gorilla Folding, or my Werner Fiberglass step ladders for short heights, attic access, etc.
Man you got that right Jeff…wow…I will NEVER risk my life (again) for the sake of using something simple and light to get to some location if I fell it would HURT—:shock:—:lol:
Now those Extend N Climb are not bad, I tried Brians, it is much heavier and sturdier than the Telesteps, if I was going to buy an extendable type, that would be my choice.
Good idea Bear—I should make it soon, he ain’t long for this world between ladders and Cycles…I ain’t sure which one will take him to the daisy field first----
Seems like most of the pictures I’ve seen of inspector vehicles are trucks and vans. Any particular reason why the folding and collapsible ladders are favored over traditional ladders? Sure seems like you could put a ladder rack on your vehicle and use traditional equipment. I can’t say that I have any near death stories to share when using normal extension ladders and stepladders. On a related note, the Werner automatic ladder leveler for the extension ladder is the cat’s back side. Had one on all my extension ladders for a couple years now, and I don’t know how I worked without them.
Exactly Marc…it boils down to laziness I think…:lol:
But there are many inspectors driving cars, or only have a car, I like trucks which I can put my ladder rack on and take an extension ladder for commercial buildings.
I don’t know if you have ever used one of the Gorilla folding extendable type or not, but their about as close and you can get to a real extension ladder only with many more different uses available.
