8 ½’ Telescoping Ladder

Our sturdy Telescoping Ladder is extends to a full 8-1/2 ft when in use, yet stores in amazingly compact 24 x 20 x 2-1/2" size to easily fit in a closet, under a bed or in the trunk of your car. We chose it, instead of others superficially like it, because of its robust strength, good design and ease of use. When finished and you want to collapse it for movement or storage, a recent important improvement is that the steps come together in a carefully “controlled collapse” so your hands and fingers are never at risk.

The "EN-131 European rating" conforms (conservatively) to a USA 250 lb. Duty Rating for weight capacity. The ladder is constructed of 6063 alloy aluminum with 9 self-locking treads that are 12" wide and feature innovative flip-down Finger Safety Guards - a welcome improvement over all other models that we tested.

It has a uniform 12" distance between treads when fully extended. Overall weight of the 8-1/2' ladder is 17 lbs. The optional nylon storage/carry cases with handle are recommended.

Also available in a larger size which extends to 12-1/2 feet when open
