Professional Window Cleaning Ladders

Professional window cleaning ladders are specially designed with both safety and ease and efficiency of use in mind.  Window cleaners spend a large proportion of their time on a ladder, so it's important to put safety first to minimize the risk of injury or accident.  When choosing a professional window cleaning ladder, look for one that meets official safety standards, to be sure you're getting a reliable product.  It may not be the cheapest ladder, but as many window cleaning accidents involve ladders, it's worth paying more for a safer design.

Features to look for in professional window cleaning ladders include anti-slip rubber feet on both the top and bottom of the ladder.  These should help keep the ladder in a stable position.  Many window cleaners prefer to use extension ladders made from lightweight aluminum, which is much lighter and easier to maneuver than heavier fiberglass.  Aluminum ladders are durable and sturdy, with the advantage of being easily portable, taking some of the strain out of the job.

Other features of professional window cleaning ladders are the type of rungs.  Wider, serrated rungs provide a more comfortable working position for standing on for long periods, and are designed for safety.  As well as choosing a quality extension ladder for cleaning those high windows, it's important to use it correctly.  Follow the 1:4 rule when positioning your ladder and remember it is always safer to move your ladder to a more convenient position or height than to overreach and injure yourself.

The Little Giant Type 1 ladder offers an amazingly versatile alternative to old style A-frame ladder systems. Robust and hardwearing, the Type 1 is like having 24 ladders in one and is perfect for sloped or stepped surfaces. It can even be converted into two scaffold trestles, allowing you to easily cover large areas with the Little Giant Scaffold Plank inserted.

The Little Giant Telescoping Plank easily transforms any of the ladders into safe and secure scaffolding. The high strength composition can withhold up to 250 lbs, giving you the freedom to be able to use both hands whilst standing. It is available in 6' to 9', 8' to 13', and 10' to 16' sizes and includes a slip-resistant surface for additional safety. A neat feature is that when storing the plank, it can be folded down to nearly half its extended length.
