Telescopic ladders can be used in a number of ways and are therefore considered a great investment. Not only are they easy to transport and store, this type of ladder is also regarded as highly safe, making it an ideal ladder for any users that feel nervous about working on ladders or at height. Originally designed for professionals, the practicality and ease of use has made this an appealing option for the average Joe too. For those that are thinking about making the investment, we have put together a list of benefits that you can expect when purchasing a telescopic ladder, so you can make a more informed purchasing decision. Telescopic ladders are generally made of aluminium so are incredibly light and easy to move around. In fact the average weight of one of these ladders is just 13.71g, perfect for both work and home use. You may be thinking that this means that they cannot accommodate heavy weights, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Telescopic ladders can hold weights of up to 150kg. The aluminium frame also allows them to be stored outdoors which is perfect for those people that have run out of room in their shed or garage. The only problem with aluminium is that it can conduct electricity meaning it can't be used by someone who is working with electrics or electrical sources. They require no maintenance as aluminium doesn’t splinter, which makes this a perfect choice for those people who occasionally forget to check their ladder over before each use. They're also relatively reasonable. Decent telescopic ladders cost from about £150.00 to £200.00, so you won't be breaking the bank buying one. And the final benefit – all telescopic ladders from Midland Ladders will also conform to all of the relevant European standards and class ratings, ensuring you have a safe and reliable product.
