Was out looking for a decent step ladder and saw these on sale.
4 step ladder here https://www.repco.com.au/en/tools-equipment/garage-tools-equ…
They seem to be reasonably lightweight at about 5-6kg. You could probably get a price beat at Bunnings but these are special order only so not sure if price beat applies. Delivery seems quite reasonable also ($12 to my metro address).
On the Bunnings page it quotes 160cm vs 120cm for the 3 step which sounds about right.
That could be the open height.
Even if this were the case some simple maths would demonstrate that it would probably be around 165cm or so closed.
For sure, but if the space I have to fit it is say 165, then it won't fit, but if the ladder is only 160, then it will just, and if I rely on guesses, I would have missed out on a ladder that will.
I have a limited space to store a ladder in my van. Unless it can be confirmed by the seller site or someone that knows, I will just go to a store and check for myself.
@Waynes world: You better of something like this: https://www.amazon.com.au/HORUSDY-Portable-Folding-Aluminium…
Not only smaller it's more stable as double sided ladder. I use the 4 steps one of Gorilla, really not stable enough if moving around your body, ok for just loading/unloading. Amazon has another one really compact and reasonable stable.
@leetec: No ladder will be stable enough if you move your body too much. That's how most ladder accidents happen.
Also a step ladder isn't a substitute for a proper ladder. This from Repco's website : "as you reach for those items on the top shelf or previously out of reach"

I never knew my real ladder
what are you doing step ladder etc
Never dropped below $99 for me here in Melbourne (tried multiple postcodes). Best could find was $98 at Discount Trader (https://www.discounttrader.com.au/product/gorilla-gor-3tt-do…), or someone with only 32 sales on ebay for $94 delivered.
Gotta love the descriptions.
In the features list for the 3 step…
Reach Height - 2.75 Metres
Description…
will give you an additional 3 metres of height
And that's 25cm more than the 3 step.
Does anyone know what the overall height of the 4 step ladder is when folded?
