What Trades Need Extension Ladders?
As part of their day-to-day activities, a wide variety of traders and contractors use extension ladders. Extension Ladders can be used for a wide variety of tasks, which is why they are so commonly associated with builders and DIYers across the globe. This blog provides a list of tradesmen who utilize extension ladders to show how adaptable and useful these ladders are for a wide variety of trades and tradespeople.
Cleaning/fitting of windows
Using extension ladders allows window cleaners to reach upper windows relatively quickly and efficiently, whereas other equipment, such as scaffold towers, would be too cumbersome and complicated to use and move between windows and between customers. With ladders, window cleaners often transport them in and on vehicles such as vans, which is not possible with other options. The extension capability also makes it easier to transport ladders from one place to another. It is lightweight to climb the ladder since window cleaners do not need heavy equipment such as cleaning fluid or squeegee, which is why extension ladders are the first choice for window cleaners. In addition to providing additional support and stability to the other fitters and to the windows themselves, window fitters also use extension ladders to fit the windows themselves. This ensures that the window is installed correctly and does not fall out of its intended position during the installation process.
Roofers/gutters
In order to access the roof during repair or replacement, roofers use extension ladders, especially when they need to get across the roof into sections that cannot be reached. Installing and replacing gutters can also be accomplished with extension ladders because you can reach the required height and sometimes the exact spot with relative ease. Often, roofers use extension ladders with attachments at the top to climb over the roof brim without stepping off and stepping off until they are on top of the roof. This multipurpose use makes extension ladders a great choice for roofers.
Painters
The use of Aluminum Extension Ladders is very convenient for painters who need to reach high walls to paint the entire surface without cutting corners or providing an incomplete paint job. As painters are required to provide a comprehensive service, extension ladders are an effective and practical method of accomplishing this. A major structure will not be able to compete with extension ladders in terms of moving quickly across the area to be painted, or on a scale that is feasible for many painters. Commercial or industrial painters may opt for other more substantial alternatives, but for most small-scale painters, extension ladders are the obvious choice.
Electricians
Similar to window cleaners, electricians use extension ladders because extension ladders can be transported from customer to customer as and when needed, which makes them attractive and practical. In addition, they are capable of accessing power boxes that may be difficult to reach, as well as repairing or installing a light fitting or burglar alarm that may be located in a high area, on a wall, or at another high vantage point that would provide maximum illumination to a large area and or out of the reach of vandals. For this work, an extension ladder can both reach the required height and isn’t too substantial for doing the work on an area that may be small and compact, as many electrical wiring setups can be.
Is there any trade that is unsuitable?
Hedge/tree surgeons
It may be necessary for gardeners and tree surgeons to use extension ladders in order to reach a height that is either unattainable or impractical with other alternatives. However, most of the time, hedge trimmers and gardeners use double combination ladders to accomplish their tasks. Providing adequate support for Extension Ladders UK, you can lean them on trees. Extension ladders can be used to work on various trees and hedges, making them a convenient and desirable tool for maintaining nature’s greenery; however, a combination ladder is more suitable for this type of work, particularly a double extension ladder.
Decorators
While we mentioned earlier that painters can use extension ladders to reach really high places, there are areas of a home where they will need to use a combination ladder instead of an extension ladder. For example, painting on a stairwell requires using a combination ladder for stairs, when an extension ladder would not be sufficient.
These examples show just some of the trades and jobs extension ladders can be used for and how suitable they are for a wide range of requirements for different people, both tradespeople and customers.
