Overview
A homeowner or tradesperson who needs one ladder for several heights gets a telescoping aluminum ladder here, with independent sides and an articulating hinge. It converts to an A-frame, an extension, a staircase or a right-angle position.
One ladder covers many jobs, and wheels help moving it.
Who it's for
Jobs that range from ground work to high reach, at home or on a site, suit a ladder that changes shape. Shoppers who only need a basic step stool should look at a simpler ladder.
Pros and cons
- Tip and glide wheels
- Brackets and plank sold separately
- Heavy to carry
- More parts to learn
Performance notes
Independent telescoping sides let each leg set to its own height, and the hinge changes the shape of the ladder. The Rapid Lock holds each rail at the chosen length once twisted shut. Load ratings apply to the ladder in its approved positions.
