Hope this has not been covered already, if so my apologies!!

 

I currently use Zarges skymaster combination ladders and have done for last 10 years. Just wondering what everyone else is using as thinking of replacing my current set.

 

Cheers guys

I've totally forgotten the make of ours:blushing: I will try and remember to find out for you, they are the same design as those but the third section which extends up over can be switched round to extend down over for use on steps or when you have a raised bed infront of a hedge. The lads take the Mick out of me for banging on about these ladders so much:lol: and they were 230 quid:thumbup:

3 tier aluminium ladder (smaller size the fire service use). Nice and light and easily manouverable. Instead of having to extend the ladder by climbing it to put up another tier its a pulley system. Very nice ladder. Cant remember the make of it though.

ive just replaced my skymaster with a titan reform ladder from midland ladders, its not ment to be as well made as the skymaster but it does have some better features in my mind, splayed base, recessed rung ends that dont 'clunk' when extending or retracting, safety catches will open and close when the ladder is fully closed up. the anti splay bar thing just drops down when you open the ladder out dont have to get to the other side to clip in the bar as on skymaster. but i did dent the top rung when i first opened it out somehow i forced it open and the hooks dented the top rung. bugger. and it does not load in the truck aswell due to the splayed base. my skymaster was 2004 and all the joints were loose well past it best.
