Extension Ladders

Complete Projects Safely with Extension Ladders

To safely paint a wall, or perform other tasks at any height, use extension ladders. Options from eBay are made to suit your residential or commercial needs, allowing you to get your job done efficiently.

Most extension ladders on eBay can safely accommodate up to 300 pounds. This means that the average person can carry her power tools with her while she is working. Vendors also have ladders with lower capacities of 225 pounds and 250 pounds to meet your needs. Popular options on eBay extend to 24 feet, but you can also choose ladders that are 16 feet tall, or complete other jobs with a 32-foot or 40-foot option. Shorter ladders are easier for a single person to move, and extend, on their own.

Each extension ladder on eBay is designed to allow you to climb safely with your tools, and several have rungs with a twist-proof design. Rung braces on the bottom steps of some ladders are moulded to increase stability. Several ladders have rung locks, and these are often spring-loaded to enhance their operation. D-rung steps are available on most ladders to provide you with stability, and a slip-resistant surface helps to prevent injuries. You also benefit from:

• Thick rungs of between 1 ½ and 2 inches that stand up to the pressure of daily use.
• Materials that are safe for electrical work.
• External guides which interlock rails securely.
• 30 steps or more, for easy access to second-story jobs.

Contractors can choose from a wide range of durable ladders on eBay. Many are made with aluminium or fibreglass . Fibreglass options are ideal when you need to do work on or around electrical wiring, since they will not conduct electricity. Even the side rails are made of non-conductive material. OSHA-compliant aluminium ladder are designed for outdoor use, and will not be damaged by rain or snow. Like fibreglass alternatives, lightweight aluminium ladders have feet, so they can rest on slightly uneven surfaces.

Many ladders on eBay come with holes, which make it easy to install accessories while you are out in the field. Your trays and buckets can often be locked into place, in positions which prevent unnecessary bending or twisting, and you can frequently separate the fly and base easily, so that the base can be used as a single ladder when necessary.
