Determine both your working and platform height dimensions, so you are able to figure the number of steps you will need. Select platform height based on operations to be performed or weight and bulk of object to be carried. The maximum convenient working height is generally 5 - 6 feet above the top step or platform.

Also consider the ceiling height. Minimum ceiling height should be 6 - 7 feet above the top step or platform.

This will depend on your surroundings. Is this being used outdoors? In a warehouse? In a manufacturing facility? Standard widths are 16”, 24” and 36”. In larger ladders, choose a wide ladder over a narrow one if space permits. For very bulky loads, consider a stairway slope ladder and/or deeper top steps.

Ask yourself: Will people pass the ladder in an aisle? Where will it be stored when not in use and is there enough space to accommodate? Always consider limitations on ladder dimensions imposed by doorways, overhead obstructions, corners to be turned, etc.

• Lift Assist Lockstep (Patented Ballymore only)
  Safest and most durable lock step on the market today. Apply weight to the steps and the ladder automatically drops the front feet to the ground securing the ladder for safe climbing.
• Weight Actuated Lockstep (Patented Ballymore only)
  This Patented state of the art lock step automatically actuates when weight is applied to the stair section.
• Standard Lockstep
  Ideal for applications over 5 steps. These ladders are raised into the rolling position when the lift bar is depressed. To release the lock step, step on the release bar in front of the first step.
• Spring Loaded Casters
  Ideal for shorter ladders 5 steps and below. On this style ladder, the wheels retract under the user’s weight securing the ladder to the floor.
