14 metre ladder purchase (reasonably priced recommendation required) + cable arrest

[EddieJ]

Could anyone recommend a reasonably priced but safe and sturdy 14m plus ladder, that isn't going to rock about more than my legs! I could hire one, but would prefer to buy my own.

 

For my own peace of mind, I also wouldn't mind a recommendation for a cable arrest system. The arrest cable would only be required to be approx 6,000mm in length.

 

BTW this isn't for tree work, but I couldn't think where else to post it.

We,ve got stuff from our local Clow Ladder outlet (ladders direct) They have triple extension 13.90m about £750 plus vat. Take a look at their web site and give them a call, they may be able to help. At that sort of length they,re going to be wobbly though.

All my ladders and steps are from Ramsay Ladders, great build quality and take a fair bit of abuse...

I've got the biggest triple ext ladder I could find locally (made by Youngs i think). Never goes out the garage and I want the space. Yours for £125+Vat if you want it. I think At full ext. it's close to 11mtrs. Very sturdy.

I know what you mean fella . Our super size ladders never get used

Thanks very much for the offer, but sadly is does need to be 14m.

 

The stupid thing is that I used to have an ex fire brigade one, but gave it away for the very reason that you and apbell have mentioned. It was too damn heavy!

 

My problem is that it is for working on this place which belongs to the mum-in- law. It's 14m to where the fourth scaffold lift is.

 

 

The scaffold has long gone, but there is an ever increasing amount of problems to sort out.

not sure if it's still going, but I know last year H+S ran a ladder exchange scheme - trade in any dodgy falling apart ladder and get 50% or so off a brand new one. Worth looking into if you're after buying one?
