Anyone using a telescopic ladder to get over locked gates
I know a lot use little giant or copycat like my pic
But anyone using a telescopic version that’s not a death ☠️ trap
Thanks lee

Too much hassle to take on jobs like that. I can't be doing with crap like that now.
I'll text through textmarketer/aworka for gates to be left unlocked but that's all. That's enough for me.

I carry a pair of folding ladders, mainly for the odd conny roof more than gates but i have begrudgingly used them for that on occasion.

I have these ones, they are much improved on the previous ones as they are much easier collapsed and less chance of pinching fingers.

A pair of steps, broom stale with a hook at the bottom..
This will manipulate most bolts and draw them across. If there’s a padlock on, they are charged 2/3rds
I wouldn’t want to be wobbling over that A

Yes that's the one I use also. I have used these all day. Light too.

Hello Ks cleaning and mjm
Are these ladders just up and down, straight line,
Or do they fold to an A ladder as my picture?
Thanks

When extending them do you have to extend fully or could you stop a bit shorter if you wanted, say 3/4 high ?

They stop at any level.

i just use my 3.5m 2 section trade ladders that ive still got from my trad days.....i split them in two if i need to get over a large locked gate......its very rare though.......maybe once a month?as i usually text jobs the night before so the customer unlocks their gates for me

TBH I bought the telescopic ladder just over a month ago and I’ve not used them for work yet and I aim to keep it that way ;) I bought them for other reasons and they fit in the boot of the car which is handy.
