Ladders are indispensable tools for home DIY. Even if we don’t consider ourselves particularly handy for major repair or painting work, a ladder is very useful for easily and effectively reaching heights we couldn’t get to on our own, whether to hang a picture, change a light bulb or paint walls. When choosing a ladder, it is important to have the model that best suits your needs, but what if your home has a garden? Do I need to buy one ladder for indoors and another for outdoors? The answer is no. At Altipesa we recommend five types of ladders that will allow you to carry out your decoration and gardening work comfortably and safely.
It is increasingly common, especially as the warmer months approach, to use the garden for gatherings with friends and family, which is why we want to keep it in the best possible condition. The ladder remains the most useful tool for carrying out these maintenance tasks. Here are the main reasons why you should have a garden ladder that guarantees your safety and stability while working on it.
- Tree pruning: gardens usually have trees and shrubs that sometimes exceed our height considerably, preventing us from reaching them on our own. Thanks to garden ladders, we can reach the highest point comfortably and safely. When choosing your ladder, you should consider the number of rungs or steps you will need to carry out these tasks without adopting uncomfortable positions that put your safety at risk.
- Fruit picking: Apple trees, cherry trees or any other type of garden tree can reach considerable heights that make it difficult to pick fruit independently. For this reason, gardening ladders are the best option for reaching these fruits or branches comfortably, safely and easily.
- Repairs: For cleaning gutters, repairing roofs and ceilings or any other type of maintenance work, you will need a ladder that allows you to carry out these tasks easily and effectively.
Types of gardening ladders
The types of ladders we offer at Altipesa are characterised by their lightness, durability and resistance to corrosion, which guarantees less maintenance and a longer service life. In our catalogue you will find a wide range of models particularly useful for your gardening tasks.
Leaning ladder
Leaning ladders are widely used for work requiring great mobility, making them well suited for tasks related to the repair, cleaning or painting of façades or walls. These aluminium ladder models stand out for being lightweight, easy to transport, simple to handle and capable of reaching the highest areas of your home. At Altipesa we offer the telescopic leaning ladder, available with nine to thirteen steps, which has a compact design, can be used at variable working heights and allows easy and convenient extension for your home DIY tasks.
Stepladders
Stepladders are one of the most widely used types of ladders in the domestic setting. This portable ladder model is characterised by being foldable, so users can transport and store it very easily. These domestic ladders offer multiple alternatives, as they can be purchased with or without a platform, with 80 mm or even 120 mm tread steps depending on the model, with anti-slip ridges, etc. For your work on ceilings and wall repairs, at Altipesa we offer the SERIE PAINT double-access stepladder, a very lightweight model that adapts to practically any space and circumstance, offering maximum safety for your household tasks.
Articulated ladders
Articulated ladders are widely used for gardening tasks because they adapt to different situations and can be used as a leaning ladder, a stepladder or even assembled as a work platform. These multipurpose ladders stand out for their compact design, which allows users to move them from one place to another and store them with great ease. In addition, this model offers the possibility of working in small spaces. The Altipesa multi-position articulated ladder stands out for its versatility, steel hinges with locking system and two stabilising bases with anti-slip feet.
Multipurpose telescopic ladders
Multipurpose telescopic ladders, widely used outdoors for façade repair or cleaning high windows, stand out for their versatility of use and ease of transport and storage. This domestic ladder model is very safe as, thanks to its locking system, the ladder is prevented from accidentally folding while in use. At Altipesa our catalogue includes the multipurpose telescopic ladder which, in addition to allowing you to work on uneven surfaces, can be used in two different working positions: as a stepladder and as a leaning ladder.
Ladder-scaffold
The ladder-scaffold models available on the market will allow you to reach the highest areas of your home safely, comfortably and easily. This type of ladder offers the user the possibility of working in three different positions: leaning ladder, stepladder and scaffold. With the Altipesa multipurpose ladder-scaffold, designed for occasional use, you can carry out your work at height with great safety and stability.
At Altipesa, a brand dedicated to the design, manufacture and marketing of ladders, stools and scaffolding for the home, DIY and commercial use, we offer our customers and users safety, quality, service and confidence to reach the highest.
