There are three types of ladders: stepladders, extension ladders, and multi-purpose ladders.
Stepladders have a hinged back and offer two levels of standing height. They are easy to set up and take down, making them ideal for use around the home or office.
Extension ladders have a telescoping design that allows them to be extended to reach high places. They are perfect for painting or cleaning gutters.
Multi-purpose ladders can be converted into multiple ladder configurations, including A-frame, extension, trestle-and-plank, and stairway designs. They are perfect for professional use because they offer such versatility.
