How to Choose a Rolling Ladder

Rolling Step LadderThere are four  steps for picking out a rolling step ladder.

Step 1:  Choose the width

The width of a rolling ladder should be as wide as the aisle permits while still leaving enough space for pedestrian traffic to pass around the base of the ladder.

Step 2: Choose the Tread Style

Grip Strut style is for sure footing when liquids are underneath or the area is not clean. The G-Perf is for normal use where liquids are not present. It’s also easier to sit on or kneel on this style step.

Step 3: Choose the height

A convenient work height is generally 5-5½ feet above the top step, or Platform Height (PH). Each step has a 10″ rise.

2-5 step ladders have retracting spring-loaded casters and steel reinforced rubber tipped feet. 6-16 step ladders have positive SAF-T locks with a release that secures the ladder when an individual steps on the first step. The caster carriage retracts allowing metal reinforced rubber-tipped feet to grip the floor, keeping the ladder user safe.

Step 4: Handrail Options

1 step ladders have no handrail
2-4 step ladders can be ordered with or without a handrail
5-16 step ladders are equipped with a handrail for safety
