Extension ladders: models, sizes and specifications

Updated

Extension ladders lean against a wall and slide out to reach heights a step ladder can't, such as gutters, windows and first-floor work. All our extension ladders are rated 150kg.

Which model is right for you?

  • Home Master 2 and 3 Section: for occasional DIY use around the home (EN131).
  • Trade Master Pro 2 and 3 Section: for trade and frequent use (EN131 Professional), with a stabiliser bar and auto-locking clamps. 3-section models up to 6.26m have a removable top section.
  • Trade Master Pro Rope Operated: for long ladders you extend from the ground with a rope, up to 10m.
  • Industrial 2 and 3 Section: for heavy site use (EN131-2 Professional), with wall wheels on longer models.
  • Telescopic: closes down to under 1m for storage in a car or cupboard (EN131-6).

Specifications

All weights are approximate. "Reach" is how high the ladder reaches up a wall when set at the correct angle.
