How to Choose the Right Ladder Height

Choosing the right ladder height is essential for both safety and efficiency.

🚫 Safety

Using a ladder that’s too short can tempt you to overreach, throwing off your balance and increasing the risk of tipping sideways. Conversely, an overly tall ladder may be too steep or unstable for shorter jobs, creating a different kind of hazard.

💪 Efficiency

The correct height allows you to work with your arms in a natural, comfortable position — minimising strain, improving accuracy, and helping you stay productive for longer periods.

🧱 Ladder Longevity

Operating within the rated height and weight limits of the ladder not only protects you but also reduces wear and tear, extending its lifespan.
