Ladders and step ladders

A ladder and stepladder are invaluable when working at heights. They are useful not only on construction sites, but also in a home workshop. This is especially true for a telescopic ladder, which can be folded up and stored even in a small workshop. Ladders are ideal for reaching higher places, for example when painting or repairing a roof. Stepladders provide stable support for tasks such as assembly, maintenance, or equipment installation, and they also allow easy access from both sides. Choose from our range of practical Fieldmann ladders and stepladders.

The difference between a ladder and a stepladder lies mainly in their construction and how they are used. 

A ladder is a long, narrow frame that leans against a wall or another solid surface. It consists of two vertical side rails with rungs placed between them for climbing. A ladder requires firm support because it cannot stand steadily on its own. It is used for working at greater heights and is often chosen where there is not enough space for other types of access equipment. A popular option is an aluminum ladder or a telescopic ladder, which can be folded up so it takes up less space when not in use.

A stepladder is a freestanding, foldable ladder with two sides joined at the top, which ensures stability. Unlike a standard ladder, it does not require any support because it has its own frame that allows it to stand securely on a flat surface. It is suitable for work at lower heights where a stable and portable structure is needed.

In short, a ladder needs support, while a stepladder stands on its own.

When choosing ladders and stepladders, consider the material (aluminum, wood, or steel), load capacity, and height. For frequent use on construction sites, durable and lightweight aluminum models are a good choice, while for a workshop you will appreciate the practicality of foldable stepladders with safety features.
