james.wilson Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Im looking at taking everything of the roof on the vans. http://www.little-gi...t_black_pro.php The problem is the ladders. I want something at least 6.5m long that will fold down as small as possible. Might even get something like this in my boot. Anyone use anything similar? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L8ZdZ2OJ_I securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

breff Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 We use little giants,the smaller ones, still have 3m triples on the roof though. Keeps the steps clean though as they go inside instead of on the roof. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

sixwheeledbeast Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I really find multi-purpose and folding ladders a pain. http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/31814-new-ladders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mma Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I use similar steps. Same reasons as already mentioned. Keep inside the van to keep them clean, can be opened into ladders or a platform. Find the only people who don't like them can't work out how to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What do you think of them? Brilliant, but heavy. Only drawback, as they are equal length on both sides you end up a bit far from the wall when used as steps, but if you fit the extensions (i usually leave mine off to make lighter) you can extend 1 side one more rung and it takes you in closer I would advise getting the wheels, then they can be pulled along The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

TimStevenson Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 James, will you let me know how you get on (if you do decide to go with the ladders shown)? I'm thinking of investing in something like that myself and like you, would like a ladder that can go inside the vehicle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 will do. Id rather have something a little longer that folded up a little smaller. But these are the longest i have found securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

marx Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 i have this ones http://www.ladders-o...Classic-Version 5 rung classic version.They r great, but if u really need to extend them all the way up then they r a bit bounci and they bend, so if u look at them from the side it looks like they about to snap.25KG to carry around, not the lightest. I hardly need ladders this days but still good to have them in a car. Most building sites require podium steps now or if in real hurry then they might let u use your stepladders Had this ones over 3 years now. Will buy little giant pro next time, if i ever need to buy new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
