A telescoping ladder can be used for all kinds of jobs you have to do both inside and outside of your home. No more need to try and find space to store full size ladders that are only useful for the jobs outside of the house, unless you have high ceilings.
Telescopic ladders are far more useful and convenient for using both inside and outside of your home and can make doing jobs around your home far easier.

With the numerous telescoping ladders available you are spoilt for choice and with the wide range of prices, most people should be able to purchase one within their price budget.
You need to decide what the ladder will be used for, what is the highest point you will need to reach and how much weight will the ladder need to support and you price budget. Once you decide these, you are good to go and buy a telescopic ladder.


The two main types of telescoping ladders are the normal extension ladder which are used by leaning against something solid e.g. wall. These ladders will usually stand somewhere near 30 inches tall and will extend to around 15.5 foot. This should be high enough for the jobs around the home and the ability to choose various lengths is a great feature to have.

Xtend and Climb Telescoping Ladder

An example of this type of ladder is Xtend & Climb 785P 15.5-Foot Aluminum Telescoping Ladder Type I Professional Series, shown on the right.
It stands at 37.8 inches and extends to 15.5 feet, making storage very easy and is great if you need to take it somewhere you can easily fit it into the boot of your car.
It weighs in at the light weight of 35lbs, so is easy to carry around and can hold support people weighing up to 250lbs.

That’s just one example of this type of ladder; they come in various sizes in terms of extension height, weight and how much weight they can support. The prices vary according to the specs so you should be able to find the right size ladder for you at a good price.

The other type is the telescoping multiladder, which is basically both a telescopic step ladder and extension ladder in one. If you need both step and extension ladders these are great and little storage space is needed for them.
