Not only do ladders come in a range of different styles and materials they also have different strengths and classifications. In order to ensure you have the right ladder for your needs, we have put together this blog post that outlines some of the different ladder classifications out there. In general the majority of ladders available in the UK and Europe meet the requirements of British and European standards. One of the longest certifications in place in Britain is the BS2037 and all step ladders and extension ladders must be subjected to this. The BS2037, which was introduced in 1994 contains three different class ratings. These are: Industrial also known as Class 1, Trade also known as Class EN131 and Domestic also known as Class 3. Each of these class ratings have been colour coded t..

The answer is yes, sort of. Most ladders, including the extension ladders we looked at recently, are made from aluminium. This metal is one of the lightest and strongest available and when it was first isolated it was more valuable than silver or gold, due to the lengthy process of extraction. Nowadays it is one of the cheapest metals because it is easy to recycle and it is used in the manufacture of many items, from mobile phones to window frames, drinks cans to aeroplanes. It is the only truly recyclable metal. On a typical building site, you will find aluminium in ladders, tools, drinks cans, construction materials, window frames, lunchboxes, water bottles, vehicles and many other places. In a household you will find it in kitchen foil, takeaway containers, food cans, plumbing fittings,..

Mount Everest is one of the most desirable climbs for any mountaineer and the peak is classed as "the roof of the world", along with other high peaks in the interior Asian mountain ranges. The last stage of the climb is known as the Hillary Step, after Sir Edmund Hillary, the man who first navigated the vertical face to reach the peak on 29th May, 1953, almost exactly sixty years ago. Nowadays, hundreds of people a year undertake and achieve the impressive feat, but the sheer numbers of people involved (not to mention that each climber or team is accompanied by a Sherpa, trained and experienced in that particular mountain) mean there is now a traffic jam around the Hillary Step. Already in 2013, more than 520 people have reached the summit, and given the short climbing windows available du..

Despite today's dodgy economy and uncertain business environment, it's important to keep the costs of goods as low as possible for the end consumer. This, however, can be tricky, because many consumer goods are designed to be discarded after their useful life is over. One way to help to keep prices down is to utilise recycling whenever and wherever possible. Take aluminium step ladders as an example. Although durable, aluminium does have some shortcomings. The primary one is that it can weaken when exposed to fire. You may not be able to see any damage, but fire can compromise the structure of the ladder, making it weak and prone to breakage. However, rather than simply discarding your aluminium step ladder, why not consider recycling it? In order to help you on your way, here's some infor..
