What are the best Ladders for Climbing?

• Bay Area High Reach

• Reaching a high point from the ground for any
  construction, industrial, or domestic purpose is
  now easier and safer owing to different ladders.
  These ladders, provide greater flexibility in
  reaching greater heights with ease.
• Ladders of various varieties can be seen in
  almost every home and office. To meet specialized
  needs, there are extension ladders, step ladders,
  rolling ladders, fixed steel ladders, work
  platforms, and several types of specialty
  ladders.

Extension Ladders

• Everyone is familiar with extension ladders.
  These are constructed of aluminum or fiberglass.
  Aluminum ladders are lighter in weight, making
  them easier to operate. Extension ladders are
  available in heights ranging from 16 to 60 feet,
  with weight capacities ranging from 250 to 375
  pounds. Because most of the top-quality ladders,
  such as Werner ladders, are tested to four times
  the claimed capacity, the weight capacity rating
  can be misleading. For electrical work or working
  near electrical sources, fiberglass extension
  ladders are preferable. Because the fiberglass
  frame does not carry electricity, the user is
  protected from electrocution.

Fixed Steel

• Fixed steel ladders are typically used to access
  the roof of commercial buildings and other
  permanent structures. Although they are simple
  ladders, there are a few things to consider when
  using fixed steel ladders. The first is
  preventing unauthorized users from gaining access
  to the ladder. They can secure access to the
  ladder by installing security doors and locking
  panels. A safety cage is another alternative for
  this type of ladder. It provides fall protection
  by stopping the ladder from slipping backward.
  Another alternative is a top walk-through, which
  has a hold on each side of the ladder at the top
  to help the person stay stable while stepping off
  at the top. When choosing  Werner climbing
  products , take in mind that OSHA requires a
  step-off platform for ladders over 20 feet or
  every 20 feet of ascending height.

Step Ladders

• Step ladders are another famous type of ladders,
  having a lot of extra qualities that most people
  aren't aware of. You can have them with a top
  that can hold a variety of tools. When you're
  working from a step ladder to install a light,
  paint, or do any other activity, it might be
  difficult to keep track of all the gear you'll
  need. Step ladders are good for holding painting
  supplies like brushes and tapes. Others have
  compartments for screwdrivers, electric screw
  guns, pliers, and other hand tools. This feature
  may make any job much easier and safer when
  working from a ladder.

Rolling Ladders

• Rolling ladder resembles a rolling stairwell with
  a handrail that runs up the stairs and around the
  top platform. Most have typical stair depths of 7
  or 10 inches and a 14-inch top platform. If you
  need more space to work from the ladder, most
  manufacturers provide deeper top platforms.
  Easy-to-climb rolling safety ladders are also
  available. These ladders are constructed with
  steps that are sloped at a 48 or 50-degree angle.
  This allows the user to utilize the ladder more
  simply and safely without using the railing. If
  you'll be carrying boxes or other stuff up and
  down from shelves, this style of the ladder is
  worth the extra money.

• Several ladders are classified as specialty
  ladders because they are designed to perform a
  certain duty.
• Bay Area High Reach is a full-service scaffolding
  company that offers frame and systems
  scaffolding, as well as temporary stair towers
  for job-site access, pedestrian protective
  canopies, trash disposal towers, and Debris
