Ladder to fit in car boot

[RDB85]

I’m looking to get some step ladders but as I’m using my car for work, it needs to fit in the boot. Any recommendations would be great.

Not as tacky as a plaster caste though.
Proper tools for the job are essential for your, and everyone else's safety.
You may be able to get a quick release rack for your car.

@RDB85
I have the werner ones you have linked.
Pros

• They feel very secure and sturdy, probably due to the support bars at the bottom.
• They fold up very small so ideal for your situation.
• You can fold them into all kinds of different shapes for different situations.
• Not too heavy.

Cons

• The support bars at the bottom can sometimes get in the way when you are in tight spots
• Because they have so many folding ways the ladder sometimes gets into odd shapes and becomes cumbersome (probably overcome with practise, I don't use it much).
• No tool tray.
• Not fibreglass.

I think if I had a choice I would go for the ones Gavin linked in the second post but I have not tried them.

you can get a telescopic tower now, basically 2 telescopic extending ladders with some arms and a platform to stand on. apparently meets all safety requirements but they look flimsy as heck and I don't trust them.
