The world’s most versatile DIY tool – multi purpose ladders
14/05/2013
Are thinking of think of doing some spring cleaning?
Well, today, we thought we’d introduce all you DIYers to the world’s most versatile ladders to help with virtually any household task – multi purpose ladders.
And no, it’s not the same as a combination ladder. A combination ladder can transform from an extension ladder into a step ladder – but a multi-purpose ladder is a step, extension and staircase ladder as well as a work platform and much more besides.
They are pretty amazing because they cover almost every requirement of a ladder.
Multi purpose ladders are made up of four sections, each with three rungs, with an extended height of over 11 feet at its full length.
So, what can they be used for?
Any DIY task – from decoration and renovation to stairway work – can be tackled using multi purpose ladders.
And yet, they can still be changed into step ladders for stationary jobs, and straight ladders for jobs like gutter clearing. If you deploy it in the platform position you can even use it as workbench.
Multi purpose ladders are now supplied with rigid platforms so that they can be fixed across the rungs when the ladder is in platform position.
This makes the ladder ideal for painting ceiling tops without needing to move your step ladder.
Features and accessories
For extra safety, multi purpose ladders feature a duel locking mechanism and stabiliser bars on the ladder’s ends.
Multi purpose ladders fold down to a very small size so it fits easily in most car boots, which is fantastic for all you DIYers.
