When choosing the best ladder for working at height, it’s crucial to know what type of tasks you’ll be performing to avoid compromising safety. For intermediate height temporary work, KTL-Ladders recommends stepladders, which are practical and comfortable, providing a greater sense of stability and safety with their two sections, accessible from one or both sides. Stepladders are frequently used by professionals for gardening, carpentry, maintenance, or wall and ceiling repairs due to their easy maneuverability, storage, and transport.
This ladder model is ideal for tasks at height requiring high mobility and is perfect for locations where a vertical surface is not needed for support. However, a key requirement for correct use is that the ladder must be placed on a flat, horizontal, sturdy, and non-slip surface, which should be wide enough to allow full extension. Failure to meet this requirement could endanger safety by causing falls, which might have severe consequences. KTL-Ladders offers four models of aluminium stepladders known for their lightweight, durability, and corrosion resistance.
Stepladders with platform
This ladder model ensures a more stable and safe work environment at height, as the platform allows for a much more comfortable position, reducing fatigue during tasks. These ladders are commonly used in various spaces and environments, both indoors and outdoors. The professional range of KTL-Ladders includes the PLUS stepladder, designed for occasional professional use, featuring wide 12 cm steps with anti-slip textures for enhanced safety and stability at height. The XL-S stepladder, for industrial use, includes a 30×30 cm aluminium platform and 80 mm diameter wheels for easy mobility between work areas.
Double access stepladders
One advantage of this model is the ability to climb from both sides, increasing the work surface without needing to move the ladder. This feature is especially useful for maintenance or roof repair tasks. When using a double access stepladder, professionals should avoid working on the first two steps from the top. The COMFORT double access ladder from KTL-Ladders, available in two to twelve steps, offers great safety and stability, with wide step spacing for more comfortable climbing. Designed for intensive use, it is durable, resistant, and easy to maneuver.
Telescopic stepladders
Telescopic stepladders are among the most versatile models on the market, offering multiple working positions. They can be used in support or stepladder and adapted to uneven surfaces. This versatility is ideal for construction, gardening, warehouses, or stores to reach high and sometimes difficult-to-access areas. The KTL-Ladders industrial range includes the multifunctional K2n telescopic ladder, which can be used as a support ladder, a double access stepladder, or for uneven surfaces. This model, for the intensive use, features an ergonomic telescopic locking system to adjust height and a compact design with a stabilizing base, complying with EN 131-4 standards to ensure stability during work.
Combination ladders
Transformable ladders adapt to any task, allowing use in a vertical position against a wall or in a stepladder, ascending from one side. This ladder model is ideal for maintenance or repair tasks at height, offering safety, stability, and comfort. These ladders are noted for their easy maneuverability and quick transport. The triple base ladder from the KTL-Ladders industrial series allows work in stepladder, extended stepladder, or support positions with maximum comfort. This ladder includes four supports and safety locks to ensure the highest stability during use.
Stepladders represent a versatile and safe option for your professional tasks. All ladder models offered by KTL-Ladders are top-notch in design, quality, safety, and guarantee, complying with the safety requirements of the European Standard EN 131.
