How
to Select the Proper Ladder |
1.
Consider the best material, tread and tread design for your needs
2. Review specialty ladders for
unique requirements
3. Select platform height based
on operations to be performed or weight and bulk of object to be carried.
Maximum convenient working height is generally 5 - 6 feet above the
top step or platform
4. Minimum ceiling height should
be 6 - 7 feet above the top step or platform
5. In larger ladders, choose a
wide ladder over a narrow one if space permits For very bulky loads,
consider a stairway slope ladder and / or deeper top steps
6. Take into account whether people
must pass the ladder in aisles and where it must rest when not in
use
7. Consider limitations on ladder
dimensions imposed by doorways, overhead obstructions, corners to
be turned, etc.
8. Trays and shelves are available
to hold merchandise while on ladder
9. For unusual conditions or applications,
please call for recommendations |
