ght product Height Always try to find a height where you can perform your work in a comfortable position without having to stretch in order to reach your work area. Try to choose a height where you can utilise the platform and fall protection as much as possible instead of standing on the steps or the rungs. Platform size and fall protection You should not only consider what height you need to reach but also your need to reach sideways. Products with larger platforms allows the climber to move and reach larger areas. This reduces the need to reposition the ladder as often or to lean dangerously outside the ladder. A larger platform and better fall protection will also allow you to work more efficiently. You will be able to relax, move more freely and focus on your job instead of your balance. So, in the long run a better ladder will be a better investment in both safety and efficiency. Quality We have divided our range into three different categories to guide anyone who works at height in their search for the best ladder: PROF+, PROF and BASE. PROF+ This category contains the very best we’ve got when it comes to functionality, durability, safety and ergonomics. You get a heavy duty design with greater stability, larger platforms and better fall protection. PROF This category is for craftsmen who need products that are easy to handle but still tough enough for everyday use. BASE These are more basic products for the price conscious pro or DIY. They aren’t for the heaviest tasks and won’t get you to the highest heights. But that on the other hand, allows them to be relatively slim, light and easy to handle. Transport Some users carry their ladders more than they climb on it and in such cases you might want to opt for a lighter and slimmer ladder. You’ll find many good options in our Base category but you could also have a look at the 5000+, 44P and Vikingstep for example. Other demands In some cases there might be extra demands that you have to consider such as requirements to use products that are labelled “Bra Arbetsmiljöval” or to use more sustainable products. In both cases we have a wide variety of models to choose from, look for the green labels. 92
