Choosing the right step ladder for your home

Choosing the right step ladder for your home

Posted by Soko & Co Administrator on

Step ladders are essential household items, but they are often overlooked until needed. Whether you need to reach the top shelf, change a light bulb, or do repairs around the house, the right step ladder makes these tasks safer and easier.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Step Ladder

  • Is it the right height?: Consider the maximum height you'll need to reach. Step ladders come in various sizes, from compact models with one step to taller ones with two or three steps.
  • How much weight can it hold?: Check the weight rating to ensure it can support your weight and any tools or materials you might carry.
  • What is made from?: Most step ladders are made from aluminum, bamboo, plastic, or steel.

  • Inspect Before Use: Check for damage such as cracks, loose hinges, or missing steps.
  • Stability: Set up the ladder on a flat, level surface.
  • Three-Point Contact: Maintain three points of contact (two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand).
  • Weight Limit: Respect the weight limit and distribute your weight evenly.
  • Stay Centered: Keep your body centered between the side rails to maintain balance.
  • Opening and Closing: Ensure your fingers are clear of pinch points and the ladder is locked in the open position.
  • Climbing and Descending: Face the ladder while climbing up or down and grip it securely.
