Extension Ladders

What are Extension Ladders?

Extension Ladders are ladders that are designed to be extendable and can double or triple in length from their folded state. This means that a double or triple extension ladder can access much higher than single section ladders, whilst still being easy to transport. Our extension ladders come in a wide variety of sizes to suit different applications and we offer free UK delivery on all orders over £45.

Use extension ladders for easy access whilst working at heights. Our range includes standard trade extendable ladders, great for tradespeople like painter and decorators or for the serious DIY enthusiast, heavy-duty extension ladders, the number one choice for those in the building trade, and fibreglass extension ladders, which are used for conducting electrical work.

Extension Ladders Quality Standards

All our Extension Ladders are designed with durability and safety firmly in mind. Our range of extendable ladders are hard-wearing and are very well suited to the daily rigours of commercial use.

They have a hefty maximum load of 150kg, so you know they are very strong and sturdy. Our heavy-duty and trade extension ladders come with a stabiliser bar and for the fibreglass / GRP ladders, this is incorporated into the design. This stabiliser bar will reduce side to side movement, making the ladder safer and much more stable for the user.

All the extension ladders in our range fully conform to new EN131 standards, so you know they are totally safe for commercial use and comply with UK safety regulations. The fibreglass extension ladders have stiles insulated to 30,000 volts, conforming with EN61478 standards for safe use when undertaking electrical work. Be sure that you are using high-quality ladders to reduce the chance of accidents in the workplace and to ensure peace of mind while working at heights.
