Telescopic ladder 🪜 gates
« on: December 18, 2020, 10:24:36 am »
Hello all 🎄☃️

Anyone using a telescopic ladder to get over locked gates

I know a lot use little giant or copycat like my pic

But anyone using a telescopic version that’s not a death ☠️ trap

Thanks lee

Too much hassle to take on jobs like that. I can't be doing with crap like that now.

I'll text through textmarketer/aworka for gates to be left unlocked but that's all. That's enough for me.

I carry a pair of folding ladders, mainly for the odd conny roof more than gates but i have begrudgingly used them for that on occasion.

A pair of steps, broom stale with a hook at the bottom..
This will manipulate most bolts and draw them across. If there’s a padlock on, they are charged 2/3rds
I wouldn’t want to be wobbling over that A

Hello Ks cleaning and mjm
Are these ladders just up and down, straight line,

Or do they fold to an A ladder as my picture?
Thanks

i just use my 3.5m 2 section trade ladders that ive still got from my trad days.....i split them in two if i need to get over a large locked gate......its very rare though.......maybe once  a month?as i usually  text jobs the night before so the customer  unlocks their gates for me
price higher/work harder!

TBH I bought the telescopic ladder just over a month ago and I’ve not used them for work yet and I aim to keep it that way ;) I bought them for other reasons and they fit in the boot of the car which is handy.
