Telescopic ladders?
I would like to be able to get up to the gutters / soffits on this two
story Victorian cottage and don't currently have a suitable ladder. This wouldn't be for any extended work, just replacing a floodlight or removing debris from the gutters etc. I like the idea of the telescopic ladders from a storage / portability POV but I have only ever footed a 3.2m one but I'm assuming I'd be looking at something quite a bit longer to reach such heights (probably 5+m)? It looks like I can do those sorts of things I need from the guidance he https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg455.pdf .... and I would be able to secure the ladder appropriately so the question is really around the feasibility of telescopic ladders of that sort of length? I'm guessing they wouldn't make them if no one bought them and from the specs I've seen they could easily support my weight etc (ladder max 150kg etc). I really wouldn't be using such regularly but would just like to be able to myself if required (or set tree climbing daughter up there whilst I foot it etc). ;-) What does the panel think? Cheers, T i m |
