Telescopic Ladder, 6.5FT RIKADE Aluminum Telescoping Ladder with Non-Slip Feet and Stable Hook, Portable Extension Ladder for Household and Outdoor Working, 330lb Capacity

This is bigger and heavier than I imagined or would need for myself but it’s impressive! I bought it because my promaster van group recommended and I liked the hook option to help me get on top of my van’s roof and back down. It seems very sturdy and I like that the hooks can spin so I can use them to hang the ladder in my van or a garage for home use. The hooks are also removable and the product comes with two extra locking mechanisms should one on the ladder break. Another nice feature is that each step locks so you could use it at 3, 5, 7 feet without extending the whole ladder. It collapses rung by rung so no need to worry about smashing fingers. It holds 330lbs and feels very sturdy. I chose this ladder vs a fixed ladder on the van because those cost around $700 and I wont need it for daily use. I spent about $93 which was higher than I wanted but for a sturdy and versatile ladder I’m happy. I chose the black finish because it’ll match my van better and hopefully hook nicely to my roof rack once that is installed.

I have a taller one of these that is for reaching my roof, but it is pretty heavy. This one is shorter and lighter and compact enough to bring in the car when I use the roof rack. In fact, it would work well extended part way and strapped down on top of other items on the roof rack. My other primary use is to use it leaned against the car or other structure to hang a lightweight solar panel off, so I can get a good angle. I use either a portable folding solar panel, a flex panel, or a CIGS panel, with grommets, and my MODL Infinity Tools with the hook studs to fasten the panel to the ladder. I might consider getting another ladder so I can hang solar panels across the two, thereby being able to hang two or possibly three at a time, by using a carabiner to clip the two panels together at the grommets.

This folds down very nicely, the hooks can be a little wobbly and the plastic clips that actuate the telescoping feature are flimsy, I've already broke one, but they send one spare

I have been searching for quite awhile for a compact ladder that would store easily and not bump into walls and furniture when moving it around the house or garage. This ladder was a perfect fit for those needs. It is quite easy to extend and stores very nicely on my slat wall. This particular ladder is the 10.5' version and easily allows me to access up to the top of my 9' ceilings. Fully collapsed, with the removable hooks attached, it is only 36" high and weighs a mere 18 pounds.The instruction manual is adequate, but your best instruction is to actually start using the ladder. The locking clips snap into place as they should but I would recommend you making sure you confirm that they are latched before climbing it. I found that you don't have to have all the sections extended to use it. My pictures show this.When collapsing the ladder, start from the lowest sections first. The instructions mention this, but it isn't immediately obvious why until you try it for yourself. Make sure you are supporting the upper sections and gently lower them when you release the locks... and keep your hands out of the way! The upper section that you are collapsing can come down quickly if you're not supporting it.Overall I'm very happy with it.

This thing is a BEAST! Massive aluminum tubes resulting in a confidence building rigidity. The only downside is this is no lightweight when it comes to handling it. Also you do need to pay attention when releasing the steps when collapsing the ladder as they do drop quickly and with considerable force due to the beefy construction. If you are looking for a tall, very stable, collapsable ladder, I highly recommend this one

Impressive and robust. Highly recommend.

I'm a bit torn on this one.On one hand it's pretty light so someone who's 5'-nothing and 100lb can carry it no problem.It's also really easy to extend and collapse, and store.The only issue I have with it is it's pretty bendy if you put it up against a wall at a sufficient enough angle to where you don't feel like you're gonna fall over backwards. It's a little sketch. And again, I'm only 100lb. I don't particularly think that it will snap under me, but if I were someone bigger I would definitely be worried.

For quite a while now, I've contemplated relocating my spare tire to the roof basket. The question has always been though, how do I get it down if ever needed? The answer of course, is with this ladder. Not only can I easily slide the tire up the frame of the ladder and into the basket, but I can slide it back down even easier (thanks to gravity!). The ladder is nice and sturdy, and it's a perfect fit for not only the basket on my Explorer, but also for the roof platform of my CX-50 Meridian Edition. And I love how easy it is to collapse and store away in the rear cargo area.
