Diagram showing how to choose a ladder

Consider the best material, tread and tread design for your needs
Review specialty ladders for unique requirements
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
Minimum ceiling height should be 6 - 7 feet above the top step or platform
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
Take into account whether people must pass the ladder in aisles and where it must rest when not in use
Consider limitations on ladder dimensions imposed by doorways, overhead obstructions, corners to be turned, etc.
