A step ladder is one of the most useful tools for any tradesmen. The types of trades that regularly carry stepladders in the back of their vans and cars are endless. From plumbers to fitters; electricians to builders; and even press photographers and tree surgeons. If you need to reach up, see over, look down or rise above - a set of steps is for you.
The reason stepladders are so popular and used so widely, is that they have several great advantages over other ladders and equipment:
Leaning Wall Shelves
Compact - stepladders can fold away. There design means you can fit a set of steps into the back of almost any car, under any stairs; in any shed or in any loft. They are very practical to stow away and for tradesmen and householders alike, this is one of the key advantages.
No leaning - another great advantage with a set of steps is that you don't need to lean against a wall with them, unlike other ladders. A step ladder can be erected almost anywhere so you can work on a ceiling in the middle of the room or equally against a wall. This makes them less precarious too as with leaning ladders, a common cause of accidents is when the ladders lips from the wall.
Practicality - Stepladders have a top step that can act as a shelf, this is really useful for placing tools or equipment on. It also means you can rest tools on this shelf before you climb up so you can ensure you have two hands on the ladder as you do so.
Safety - The unique V shape of a ladder means they are a lot more sturdy than other ladders. You are less likely to tip off a step ladder so long as the floor is flat and you don't lean from the set of steps, there should be little risk of falling off. Even the very tall stepladders have a far better safety record than their leaning or extension ladder counterparts
Stepladders are a practical and easy to use solution for working at height and few households of tradesmen should be without at least one set of steps.
