just doing my list for santa  .... anyone got a 3 rung set and are they ok for getting over the odd gate .... or next size up required ??

[Jonny 87]

Need the four rung unfortunately.

I have the four rung and it gets over all gets. One rung less and it wouldn't though.

[Paul erithwc]

I have the 4 rung and will replace it with a 5/6 rung one next year the extra height will be idea for conservatory roofs and the extra high gates

Myself I don't do gate or fence hopping as can't be arsed anymore but that looks a handy ladder as long as it don't collapse or tilt sideways being used like that.

These are a little heavier but feel stronger and are much cheaper than the 'Little Giant 'Ladders .....

Sorry I meant to say that mine are screw fix ladders and. It little giant. Mine are the ones you posted. ^^^

About £110. A lot cheaper than little giant and do the same job, very sturdy too.

Johnny , have you got a pic of it folded and a pic of it at full extension against a house ?

I've also got these. Heavy but very sturdy.

The little giant does have an additional feature that the Screwfix one doesn't. It can be split into two trestles with a additional top fitting. Whilst this would be an added advantage for a painter/decorator, I haven't ever needed that option.

They also don't have wheels either.

cheers Johnny ... its what I was suspecting ... thanks for taking time to post picture !

The only thing to remember these ladders  are heavy.

I thought that too at first Spruce....
You need to 'spin' the section around and click into the other section...as in the Little Giants video at 3.15mins  onwards.....

[sunshine windows]

These look great if you're van is too tall to be lifting ladders off the roof for access.

Hi Oldman,

Thanks. I didn't know that - just tried it out and yes it works.

[mac74]

Really do like the look of these, as ive been looking 4 a one4all basic job ladder 4 access duties only. This type would save time on splitting the ladders on gates when u put it in a-frame mode, but it would have been well handy if u could of been able to fit articulated feet to them for full stretch stuff. It would also be to wide at the base to put on top of a ladder m8rix, for mossy floors, shame  . Just had a thought though, for garages/extensions and back of house access, does anyone know if u say extend 3 sections of the ladder and then bend the top section downwards, would the top section bend into a upside down v shape 4 the top of the roof, giving 4 points of contact, if u k.w.i mean??  Cheers m

No problem Spruce, I've picked-up plenty of advice from you and many others on here...just nice to give a bit back  .

[buzzing]

What do you use the rope for?

[oldman]

What rope 

[Electric]

Absolutely useless. just not strong enough. 150kg indeed, my flatulence weighs more than that
Getting one very soon for business partner to use as he always does the backs. £110 will soon be recovered from forgetful custies.

[dazmond]

i use my normal 3.5m trade ladders and split them or my 8ft single pointer.its only the odd job i need them for.most get a text the night before if they have a locked gate.

luckily for me most of my customers dont have locked gates or access issues.
