I use a 3.5m titan with yellow feet and its great before this i had the 3m version which is nice and light but a bit short at times.

Agree. Recently bought the 3m trade Titans. They are for the second van so will only get used a couple times a month. For everyday ladders definitely go for the 3.5m

The top one. The heavy industrial ladders are far too heavy to use for everyday ladders imo.

4.5 metres- isnt that a bit long for a car?

sure it's the dog's b******** for gutters though

Post by: Rob@Blast off on December 24, 2014, 03:16:21 pm: To big and heavy for everyday use but built like a tank the 3.5 is much easier to carry and will do all your day to day stuff.

Post by: Clever Forum Name on January 05, 2015, 04:22:02 pm: Looking at replacing my ladder.

is a 4.0M ladder ok for windows?

I do maybe one or two trad jobs a month that use ladders?

It would be more handy for access issue jobs and guttering....................
