However ... on other windows I have difficulty getting the Laddermax at

ladder with the LadderMax on the end. It only weighs a couple of kilos
of course, but on the end of a ladder it gets awful heavy.

You must be using a very lighweight set of ladders to notice the effect
of the standoff (either that or you have left the tin of paint on it!)

Any tips? Or do I just need to be a lot bigger and heavier?

You may find one with wheels easier to handle:
