Talk:Ladder

message: The intro mentions Ladder programming language and Ladder (computer game), but shouldn't it mention tournament ladders? Maybe those are computer and video games specific; I'm not a native English speaker. Retodon8 19:34, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Apple mentions a "three-point ladder" used for harvesting, but we don't seem to have an article on that and it's not mentioned here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwanders (talk • contribs) 07:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Technical standards  and standard certifications for portable ladders are obsolete and without legal obligation since agreements between member countries of World Trade Organisation (WTO) have been activated, especially the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT). Since then neither private organisations nor public institutions in WTO countries are allowed anymore to prescribe how to design, to produce or to distribute portable ladders if it is not demonstrated with scientific evidence, that non-application of a technical description, advise, instruction or ladder standard will damage personal health or national security; technical standards for portable ladders have become obsolete because of insufficiency of scientific evidence which makes it impossible to conduct risk assessment of single products.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.60.251.220 (talk) 09:09, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ladder Standards   

message: I see no mention here ( or, for that matter, elsewhere on the www !)about choosing the right *type* of ladder for a particular job. My experience is that some are much better than others for any given application, yet I find other experienced ladder users who have no interest in using the " right one for the job" even if they have a choice. For example, I would not want to use a step ladder to get onto a roof, but would feel fine with an extension ladder of the right height. Step ladders ( it seems to me) are fine for painting & especially internal tasks (eg working on light fittings)but not in an application where the operator wants to *leave* the ladder at a high point. However, I find even retailers here in A/a seem to have very little awareness of this issue ! Any pointers on this would be most welcome Feroshki (talk) 00:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi there, I'm trying to find the english word for the German Steigleiter, a ladder with only one leg. Example: :File:Reichenau - Haidsteig, Steigbaum.JPG. Couldn't find it in the article ... TIA --Schwäbin (talk) 19:44, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes certainly, Scaling ladder, could be used, although this is really the German Sturmleiter. I see that Google Translate of that wiki.ge page rather charmingly produces the literal translation of "climbing tree" (which is a lot friendlier and less militaristic I think). I see that Hook ladder is described as a "single beam ladder", so maybe that's the best English can currently offer.

I have just added archive links to  on Ladder. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

thread_title:   Extraneous "related" images / info in media viewer 

message: The figure "Safe setup of a leaning ladder" indicates as safe a ratio of 3:1 between sides of the triangle shown (the actual angle shown as 15 degrees is then actually 18+ degrees if i am not mistaken), while the text indicates 4:1 (actual angle ~14 degrees, i.e. much closer to what the text says, that the other non-right angle must be 75.5 degrees ).
I'd think it should be indicated why the two are inconsistent, whether there's a recommended range, or instead disagreement, with different rules/standards recommending different angles as "safe". Suppressing one of teh two would not be good, if indeed both represent authoritative recommendations. Attentive21 (talk) 20:16, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
