Title: Double pointer ladder thingys
Post by: joshem on October 20, 2011, 02:11:46 pm: I've never used one of these ladders (pictured here: http://www.mraccessandladders.co.uk/pics/titanaliwindow.jpg (http://www.mraccessandladders.co.uk/pics/titanaliwindow.jpg)). Presumably the pointer detaches for use with the ground floor windows? Are they recommended? Getting a bit fed up carting one round separately...

but they are good for certain jobs, I prefer straight ladders.

They're much, much more stable, can be put to the left or right of the window or on the upright spars. Also, they're much easier to use on ground that is not level and the rubber end grips much better than aliminum or the hard plastic ends of a normal ladder. On top of that, the base of an A frame is much wider.

It for use by the emergency services, the military, etc. Strange question to ask on a window cleaning forum.
