Got lots of ladders?
Use a collapsible ladder that can be a step ladder or an extension ladder. You will:
- Save the time that it takes to put up and take down (including tying it off) a ladder on a roof rack.
- Replace 2-4 ladders.
- Won't need to go back to your truck for a different ladder.
The downside to a collapsible ladder is the weight, which can be fatiguing if you're carrying it or moving it constantly:
- A 7' step/17' extended collapsible ladder weighs about 33 lbs.
- A 6' fiberglass step ladder weighs about 22 lbs.
- A 6' aluminum step ladder weighs about 15 lbs.
If you frequently need a shorty step ladder, grab a step stool and hang it on your door.
