Ladders & Other Stuff

Fair play that a bit wedgey for a ladder.

Midland ladders I got all mine from.

Stick bloody 'Hilti' up the side and I guarantee Pennywise'll have one within the week. S'red, see.

Don't tempt me might buy them and spray the logo on myself . Unfortunately i've already started with the yellow colour scheme for all my steps and ladders

i use box section aluminium ladders for my extension ladders and yellow fiberglass for the smaller 'indoor' ones.

Should never of read this post, it was fate. Have managed for years with a normal pair of Yellow stepladders and the full monty for outside work, always managed to pull my self up into lofts without spending on the stepladders that are about three steps higher.
Customer phones today by way of recomendation, could I light up his garage (and all the rest ) The ceiling is twelve foot. So, looks like a pair of red for me !! I have a feeling there is gonna be no profit on this job. So thanks Lenny for the advice.
Saw my plasterer mate again today, the ruling on stepladders having a use by date is genuine, he is digging out the source for me. It would appear that Health and safety can jump on the personal safety of self mployed people as well (I know we are duty holders for others etc ) because we get treated for free as well by the Nat. Health. lol.

Ta M8, they are in the frame for a drain on the business account.

I bought a Young mans ladder last week after about a year of getting away without one .

£117 including a van/roof clamp for said ladders . Pukka I thought . Then realised they are likely to get rusty

on top of van and have to find a home out of the wet for them

You have already thought it through !

What type of ladder are we talking about. Shouldn't go rusty if left on the van.

The only use by date I know of is a next inspection date (a sort of PAT test for ladders) if they don't pass then they are broken up.
