Ladders are built and designed to support a certain amount of weight safely. Duty ratings were setup to provide some guidance and standards governing the use of portable ladders in various types and styles.
Ladder styles include stepladders, step stools, combination ladders, platform ladders, single pole ladders and extension ladders.
Each duty rating relates to a correlating maximum weight capacity (or load capacity) that the ladder can safely carry. The maximum weight or load is the combination of several factors:
LIGHT DUTY | MEDIUM DUTY | HEAVY DUTY |
90kg Working Load | 110kg Working Load | 150kg Working Load |
Choosing the right working load will help you to use your ladder confidently in the safest possible way. No matter what projects you are involved in, we have a ladder that suits your needs and your safety.
