step ladders

[windy]

My y frame ladder took the knock today after many yrs service. Got a few 10 ft lids lined up in next few weeks and was looking for some step ladders. Any one use the cheapo aluminium ones or are the youngman type worth the extra cash...

You get what you pay for windyfor windy

 

[johniosaif]

Cheap ones are illegal on site, you need a rated, and a risk assessment and a method statement before you use a step ladder, you maybe be finished before you do all that of course..
