First off, it just looks sleek and professional. But besides good looks, you can look forward to a ladder that is practical and safe.

You can choose different heights according to your needs and once the chore is done, you push one button and the ladder safely retracts itself.The Finether telescopic ladder is the perfect first ladder, it comes in a variety of maximum heights and is light in weight. The free gloves and storage case are an added bonus, the case especially, as this helps to protect the ladder when in storage, increasing the longevity of use. The Nestling is extremely lightweight at just 6.3kg and yet capable of bearing a maximum weight of 150kg. EN 131 certification goes hand in hand with a stable design that feels sturdy even on the higher rungs, and the non-slip rubber feet and stabiliser bar also do their bit.

When fully extended, it offers 2.6 meters (which is one of three height settings that you can choose from). The frame is also forged from aluminium to ensure that the ladder is both durable and easy to lift or carry. Do you need a great ladder around the house? This ladder’s height and simplicity makes it perfect for domestic duties. But in case you are concerned that it might have a lower quality than those used in construction jobs, don’t be – you still get a very useful and safe ladder.

There are several things to consider before you invest in a telescopic ladder. The first is quality. If a ladder is poorly-made, it’s not going to stay safe for very long. A good ladder is usually made from aluminium alloy, so keep an eye out for that. When fully retracted, the height is 96 cm (you might need a bigger storage area than other telescopic ladders) In 2017, Derbyshire Council’s Trading Standards team tested 13 telescopic ladders, and all failed to meet the current standards, with one ladder snapping in half under the test load. The frame is aluminium, making it strong but also lightweight. This means that you can easily carry the ladder as well as place your full weight on the steps. Indeed, the ladder can take a maximum load of 150 kg. New standards for ladder safety have now come into force, but many sub-standard ladders are still sold online and in shops around the UK.

Additional information There are dozens of telescopic ladders on sale, and many look very similar, but unfortunately, some are unsafe. I’ve owned the ladder for just over a year and I use it everyday for surveying purposes. It’s proven reliable and robust. I felt that this ladder would be great for surveying purposes and low-level work, such as painting walls up to ceiling height or getting into a loft. Also, it’s important to read the ladder’s manual. It shows you which mistakes to avoid and how to care for the ladder. The manual will also explain how to prevent the most common injury that occurs with this type of ladder (getting your fingers trapped between the rungs during retraction).
