The quality and quality of the aluminum step-ladder is noticeable to the naked eye - it will last a long time and will be a reliable assistant in the household. With its help, it will be easy for the owner of the house to replace the light bulb in the chandelier, wipe the dust on it, hang the curtain or wash the window. For use in professional activities (by the same electrician), the stepladder is somewhat expensive, although it has a number of advantages. Such trifles as anti-slip rubber pads on the steps of the stairs, located in the handle (which is at the top of the stairs), a convenient organizer for hand tools and other small things (also equipped with a hook for a bucket) greatly simplify work at height.
3 Eiffel Favorite 106
The anodized aluminum profile is extremely robust, which allows the Eiffel Favorite to withstand a load of up to 150 kg. A platform made of corrugated ABC plastic is located at a height of 1.4 m from the floor, which allows you to perform almost all types of work inside a house or apartment. The step-ladder weighs 7.7 kg and, when assembled, does not take up much space - it can easily be stored behind the cabinet (height - 2.25 m, width is 0.53 m). A convenient handrail-organizer rises 80 cm above the platform, which helps not only to maintain balance, but also to keep small tools and hardware close at hand. Also noteworthy is the fairly wide corrugated steps (8 cm), which do not allow slipping during work.
2 Sibrtech 97896 with organizer
In addition to the most attractive price, this step-ladder has one more advantage - the ladder is distinguished by the presence of an organizer in the upper handle, which is located above the platform.

Best Aluminum Extendable Stepladders
A distinctive feature of this category of inventory is a wide variety of uses. Stepladders can change the working height due to a different arrangement of sections (attached structure) or by adjusting the degree of extension.
4 Tdm SQ1028-0201
Stepladders are usually used for indoor work. At the same time, it can easily be transformed into a ladder with a working height of 2.88 meters - in this form, the Tdm SQ allows you to climb onto the roof or attic of a one-story house, as well as perform other necessary actions outside. Unlike three-section models, here it is impossible to use one of the composite ladders separately, since they are interconnected by limiting straps that fix the step-ladder in a disassembled state. For better stability, the base of the main section has a wide plank at the bottom. The aluminum profile of the structure is reliable, but at the same time weighs only 6.1 kg.
3 Tikli 3x13
A distinctive feature of the Tikli telescopic ladder is a reinforced aluminum profile. This allows it to easily withstand a load of up to 150 kg (here you can add a safety factor of 20%). The treads have a grooved surface, which to a high degree prevents slipping. The ladder can be used as a retractable one - in total, it allows you to carry out various types of work at a height of up to 8 meters (length is 8.154 m) or climb to the third floor of the house, the roof. As a stepladder, it is no less convenient - the height of the 3.471 m sections is more than sufficient. Restraint straps and a wide platform on one side provide better stability for the three-piece design.
2 Krause Corda 010360
A three-section ladder with an extended platform on the base side for greater stability, when disassembled, reaches a length of 4.55 m. The presence of restraining straps prevents the sections from diverging when used as a step-ladder. The third span can be easily detached from the main structure and used as a small ladder with a height of 170 cm. This versatility and optimal height have made this model one of the most popular on the market. The wide aluminum profile provides high strength (calculated load weight is 150 kg), but also weighs only 8.8 kg. It is convenient for both home and professional use.
1 SevenBerg QH 11 + 13
This telescopic step-ladder has the most compact dimensions - when assembled, its dimensions are limited to a height of 79 cm. In this form, it is more than convenient to store it inside the house (in a pantry or even in a closet). At the same time, the SevenBerg QH not only can be extended to the required height, but also is highly reliable. Each sliding section is fixed (while emitting a characteristic shutter click) and is capable of withstanding a load of up to 150 kg. In this case, one of the sides extends to a height of 3.8 m. This is two sections larger than the other side, which allows you to hold onto the formed ledge with your hand when working at height.

Thanks to the aluminum profile, the longest ladder weighs only 38.7 kg. In this case, the height of one span is 4.4 m, which should be taken into account during transportation.
1 KRAUSE Fabilo 2X9
The working height of this retractable ladder is 3.9 m - not even every three-section model has such indicators. Latches-latches are of high strength and reliably hold the structure in a disassembled state. In this case, it is absolutely not necessary to push the ladder to the maximum height.

Locking universal joints allow you to create a structure resembling an inverted U, making it possible to work in confined spaces. Folded in the form of a ladder, the Masterado reaches 3.4 m from the floor, and the "platform" configuration allows you to perform tasks while standing at a height of 1.8 m. Withstanding up to 150 kg, the ladder in any form demonstrates better stability thanks to two traverses. The length of the 180 cm sections limits the choice of a car for transportation, despite the lightness of the structure - the aluminum transformer weighs only 16 kg.

They provide better stability for structures such as a stepladder or platform, allowing you to work safely at heights. The latter configuration is excellent for indoor finishing and installation work. The length of each section is 1.5 meters, which allows the Dogrular to be transported in a passenger car.
