Escape Ladder
Basic Types Of Ladders For Home And Commercial Use
The market offers various types of ladders depending on the nature of the job that a user is required to do. Ladders are considered as tools used even in ancient times. It has proven to have helped ancient people escape during invasions and even during their harvests. The use of ladders has been passed through centuries and is now considered as one of the basic household and industrial tool. Technological advancements paved the way for the development of the different types of ladders. So, gone are the days when we only use the traditional type of ladder that is made of rope or wood.
Safety and ease of use for the workers are two major factors that pushed ladder companies to be innovative in developing several types of ladders. These companies have identified that you cannot just use one type of ladder to cater to both home and industrial environment. Doing so means putting the workers in great risk of falling and even shortening the usability of a ladder.
There are several types of ladders available. Your safety in working on ladders start with thetype of ladder that you have selected. Each type have their own different functions. Here are basic information that you should be familiar with before purchasing a ladder.
A-Frame Ladder – This is the most simple type of ladder and works best for home use. If you are just going to reach high storage areas or hang some decors on the wall, this ladder is enough to help you. This type usually has wide steps for your footing stability. It also comes with a folding feature for easy storage. The cost of this ladder is affordable and can already provide you with the elevation you need to perform tasks inside or outside your home.
Platform Ladder – This ladder is mostly preferred by painters, decorators and electricians. This is because it has an extra space where a workman can place his tools or even cans of paint. Saving them from having to go up and down to get the stuff they need. There are two types of a platform ladder. One type is for household use where the platform is mounted on top of a single ladder. The other type comes with a platform that is placed on top of two ladders. This type is commonly used for commercial purposes.
Telescoping ladder – This type of ladder is one of the most technologically advanced. This ladder is divided into different lengths so that it can adjust to the height requirement you need. This type can go as highs as 20 feet making it good to use for outdoor functions. A telescoping ladder usually has a secure lock that keeps the extended section from moving while in use. With its flexibility, a regular 6 foot telescoping ladder can cost a minimum of $200.
Fire Escape Ladder – A fire escape ladder serves as an alternative exit in case of emergency evacuations. Unlike other ladder types, this ladder is not used regularly. This is more of a precautionary measure rather than routine use.
You have to know what you will mostly use the ladder for so that you can wisely choose among these types of ladders. Careless selection of any type of ladder may just lead to more expense and worst injury or death.
