What type of ladder do you use for your usual household tasks? If we were to put this question out loud, most people would agree on a single model: aluminium stepladders. In general, this type of ladder is one of the tools that best adapts to everyday tasks such as cleaning the highest shelves in your home or making minor repairs in areas we couldn’t reach on our own. The design of aluminium stepladders provides the user with great stability, so their safety will be guaranteed while carrying out home DIY tasks. But do you know the advantages that aluminium stepladders offer over other models on the market?
Safety during your household tasks
Safety is one of the essential requirements a ladder must provide, as otherwise we would be putting our health at risk. The stepladder models we offer at Altipesa feature a series of elements to ensure your stability is not compromised while carrying out your household tasks. For this reason, we offer steps with anti-slip surfaces for safer ascent, anti-slip feet to prevent unnecessary and involuntary movement on the floor, and polypropylene (PP) platforms with an exclusive locking system to prevent accidental movement while working on them.
However, safety is also linked to how the user uses the ladder, as failing to follow the safety measures for aluminium stepladders could result in falls from height that can sometimes have serious consequences. For this reason, among other aspects, it is very important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and avoid placing the ladder on surfaces with obstacles or uneven ground so that your stability is not compromised.
Aluminium, one of the most resistant and durable materials
Altipesa’s stepladders are made of aluminium, a very durable and corrosion-resistant material that will allow you to keep the ladder for a long time without needing repairs, provided it has been used correctly and appropriately. Our ladder models have a design that stands out for its lightness — you can move them from one space to another with great ease and without effort — and for being compact — when folded, they take up very little space and are suitable for storing anywhere in the home. Aluminium stepladders guarantee stable, safe and comfortable work at height during everyday home DIY tasks such as cleaning bedroom or kitchen cupboards.
Easy to use both indoors and outdoors
Stepladders, which are perfect tools for indoor and outdoor work, are easy to use. To use them correctly, you simply need to move your ladder to the place where you are going to carry out your household tasks and open it fully until the exclusive locking system — included in our platforms — is perfectly secured. It is important to comply with this point as, otherwise, you could put your safety at risk on the ladder. These ladder models have a folding and opening system using hinges that ensure their effective functioning.
Variety of models thanks to their multiple steps
At what height are you going to carry out your home DIY tasks? This is one of the questions you should ask yourself to choose the ladder that best suits your needs and allow you to work comfortably and safely. The market offers a wide variety of domestic stepladders, ranging from two to eight steps, allowing a working height of over three and a half metres. For this reason, at Altipesa we recommend choosing five or six-step ladders as, for indoor work, taking into account the usual ceiling height of homes, it will be easier to avoid uncomfortable and unsafe positions.
At Altipesa we offer a wide range of aluminium stepladders designed to guarantee maximum stability and safety for the user in household and DIY tasks. Our models comply with current legislation and the corresponding regulations for “non-professional” use, as well as being certified to the European Standards of the EN 131 series.
