Step/ladders to fit in car

[Thomas123]

Hi,

Im after a set of steps/ladders that will fit in the back of my car (astra)

I've been looking at the little giant professional... 4-Rung Little Giant "Professional": UK Ladders >> Delivered Free to your door!What are your opinions on these? are there any cheap/better equivalents?

Cheers
Aaron

I use the one listed just above it on the website
Multi Purpose Folding Ladders from only 69 inc vatMainly I have this because it fits in the car, It is handy as it can be used as a platform but it is more hassle to open than the Little giant. I would say that the sticking out spreader bars get in the way but it is a very small package and fits on the back seat of a hatchback, with room for other stuff as well. generally for those on a limited budget seemed the best choice for me.

Although, to open a can of worms, no one should be using ladders only scaffolding ( I can just see the customers face!) and electricians should not be using metal ladders (if not electricians who know they are working dead, then who?)

I've got a set of these: http://www.*************/p/bi-directional-folding-ladder/64362. Not for use on major jobs or at any great height, but excellent for small jobs needing a few steps up as I can carry the ladder in one hand and tool box in the other.

Ooops, the forum doesn't like the link... look for product code 64362 on the site that's all about FIXing with SCREWs...
