More about Step Ladders

Benefits of step ladders

Step ladders have a number of benefits including:

  • They offer stability – Step ladders are designed to be stable, reducing fears of tipping or moving.
  • They’re convenient – They’re portable and easy to store and transport.
  • They provide great accessibility – Due to step ladders being fairly compact they tend to be suitable for most spaces.

Where can step ladders be used?

Step ladders can be used in for various situations, such as:

  • Commercial and warehouse tasks – Step ladders can be excellent for commercial businesses like retail spaces where restocks need to be completed regularly and items are stored in warehouses.
  • Household tasks – They’re great for indoor work as they’re easy to manoeuvre, store and transport. For example, they can be great for painting or cleaning high spaces.
  • Outdoor tasks – Step ladders can be great for outdoor tasks like pruning trees or outdoor painting.
  • Schools – They can be great for school caretakers or helping teachers reach highly stored away resources.

What to consider when purchasing step ladders

When choosing a step ladder there are a few things you should consider, such as:

  • The height of the ladder – Step ladders come in various sizes. Depending on your project you should consider whether you need a small step ladder, 2 step ladder, 3 step ladder or 4 step ladder etc. At Step and Store we sell ladders between 3 and 12 treads.
  • The quality of the ladder – To ensure durability and safety, stronger materials are recommended. Our metal step ladders are an excellent option.
  • The ladder’s safety features – Look out for ladders with locking features, non-slip feet and sturdiness.

How to use a step ladder safely?

When using a step ladder it’s important to use it safely. You can do this by:

  • Ensuring all four step ladder feet are firmly on the floor to avoid unsteadiness and tipping.
  • Only carry light items.
  • Don’t try to reach items you can’t get easily.
  • Don’t work on the top three steps, unless there’s a suitable handrail.
  • Make sure any safety or locking devices are firmly in place.
  • Try to position the ladder facing where you’re trying to reach rather than side on, where possible.
  • Maintain three points of contact (two feet and one hand) when working on the step ladder.

How to carry a step ladder safely

  • Always carry your ladder in the closed position. This makes it easier to carry and avoid accidents like your fingers getting trapped.
  • When carrying a step ladder you must ensure you have good balance. You should do this by gripping the middle section of the side rail to help evenly distribute the weight of the ladder.
  • Carry the ladder parallel to the ground as this will help you avoid obstructions.
  • Use your legs to lift, rather than your back. Lifting with your back can cause serious long term health effects. To lift with your legs you should:
    • Plan ahead.
    • Bend your knees.
    • Keep your eyes up.
    • Get help if you’re straining.

How to close a step ladder

When closing a step ladder you should:

  • Prepare: Remove anything placed on the step ladder.
  • Disengage the safety mechanism – This usually involves sliding or pressing the mechanism out of place.
  • Collapse the ladder – Hold the top of the ladder with one hand and and lift the bottom rung to release the mechanism and easily collapse the ladder.
  • Store the ladder – Before storing the ladder you should ensure the locking mechanism is in the closed position.
