An extension ladder is a ladder that’s made of two or more sliding sections that allow height adjustment. It is commonly used for exterior access tasks.
The correct size depends on the height required and safe overlap between ladder sections.
Measurement should include working height plus allowance for ladder angle and overlap. Manufacturer guidance should be followed.
Extension ladders should be purchased from suppliers that provide workplace-rated, compliant access equipment.
