Aluminium ladders are popular because they are lightweight, strong and not too expensive. This is the ideal combination when shopping for ladders and it is the reason why sales of aluminium ladders increase every year. The alternatives to aluminium ladders often fail to perform in one or more of the critical criteria you should use when choosing a ladder. They may be strong but compromised by excessive weight compared to an aluminium ladder. Alternavily they may have the correct balance of strength and weight but be very expensive when you look at them next to a similar aluminium ladder.

Aluminium ladders have other advantages too because aluminium doesn’t rust and is highly resistant to corrosion. This means if you don’t have room to store your aluminium ladders inside they will survive pretty well outside. Aluminium ladders are hard wearing and this makes them suitable for daily use, so even if you use them day in day out they will last a long time.

It is considered by most to be one of the great ladder innovations. They haven’t been around for very long but they are already proving to be a very popular ladder. Aluminium telescopic extension ladders are almost without rival when it comes to offering the ability to have a long ladder without the normal amount of space required to store them.

With telescopic extension ladders being a fairly recent entry in the aluminium ladder market place there have been a number of revision to the design. Only now is there a fairly settled design in place, and it is one that offers the safety and flexibility required.

The technology that makes them work is the locking mechanism that is strong enough to support weight at many different angles. In many instances this superb versatility offered by the folding ladder means they are able to replace a number of ladders around the home or in the tradesman’s van. The exact number of combinations that aluminium folding ladders can be formed into depends on the exact ladder you buy. In most cases you can use them as just a step ladder, folding ladder and straight ladder but in certain cases their are other combinations.  One other advantage offered by this type of ladder is that the extra hinges mean it can be folded much smaller for storage purposes.

Aluminium is a great material for folding ladders because of it’s strength and comparatively light weight. Combined with it’s other key qualities it makes an aluminium folding ladder a great choice.

If you are working slightly higher up they are available with more steps to save you from over reaching. An aluminium step ladder is the perfect choice for many situations and no home or tradesman should be without one.

It is very important to position this type of ladder correctly when in use as it has the potential to fall. You should choose a single aluminium ladder with a number of safety feature to make sure it is safe as possible. One of the most useful safety features is rubber feet, these allow extra grip to make it harder for the ladder to fall when it is leant up against a wall. Like other ladders you should also choose a single ladder that has some form of grip on the steps too. This is usually in the form of rubber tread on the step or a ridged finish to the aluminium step.

Every ladder has safety information provided when you buy it, you should always read this information and use the ladder appropriately. There will be a maximum weight the ladder can hold and this is one of the key factors to consider as exceeding this puts your ladder safety at risk. If you are using a ladder leant up against something you should check the angle is appropriate. Using an angle that is either to steep or too shallow can cause the ladder to fall over while you are on it. If possible and applicable to your ladder you should secure the ladder to the structure you are using it against.

With other types of ladders you should makes sure you follow the safety instructions accurately too. If there are securing mechanisms or safety features on the aluminium ladder you are using, make sure these are all used. This information is provided as a basic guide only. When using ladders you should always ensure you follow the relevant health and safety practices.

Ladders don’t just deal with the spectacular either, no, they can have some unexpected mundane uses too. Maybe you could use them as a permanent feature in your garden, you will be surprised how well a ladder can pretend to be a trellis for your plants to grow up! Think that is all the ladder can do, you are wrong! Lay it down in your flower bed and you have a ready made sectioning device to keep your flowers neatly in compartments.

So far we have only talked about normal straight aluminium ladders, just imagine the possibilities when you consider a folding ladder. Many folding ladders come with a length of board for making a platform for standing on. Adjust the platform down a bit and your ladder is a ready made table. Now I don’t expect you to have your next dinner party on your ladder table. However if you are decorating and have your furniture covered you will be happy for the temporary table your folding ladder can provide.

If you have chosen an attractive aluminium ladder or maybe you have an old one and access to some paint there is another great use. You could use it as a to hang your pots and pans in the kitchen. Hang it from the ceiling then attach a few hooks and you are away. Another unexpected use of the humble ladder. You can do the same in the garage, ready made hanging storage is just a few screws away.

Don’t neglect your ladder any more, make it feel loved again, make sure your ladder knows how important it is. If it is past it’s best give your aluminium ladder a new leases of life in a new role today!
