Ladders for seniors - safe at heights even in old age
Work in the house or the garden is never truly complete. In order to carry out these continuous DIY activities safely at an advanced age, you should consciously consider the demands that they entail.
Whether in the household cleaning the windows, hanging the curtains or tidying up, a lot of your work will probably occur above solid ground. This also applies to gardening, when you need to prune a few branches, or need to harvest cherries up in a tree - work at greater heights is a regular occurrence. At an older age, the safety and comfort factor become more and more important. A stable stand and sufficient space on the ladder are therefore essential.
You don't need a ladder for seniors!
Not every ladder is suitable for the demands that seniors should place on access equipment. When choosing a ladder, safety should be the number one priority. However, you do not need a special ladder for seniors. HAILO safety ladders are already equipped with practical features that make working at height safer and more comfortable and are highly appreciated by both older and younger people. The only thing that becomes more important with age is that your work equipment offers maximum stability and the greatest possible comfort.
What features should your ladder have?
Want to get a box from the cupboard, attach a new lamp to the ceiling or water a hanging plant? A ladder that is used for activities high up should always offer stability and make your work easier. Stepladders or folding steps are therefore particularly recommended for seniors.
A safety ladder with comfortable handling should have some elements that give you additional support and allow you to stand safely even with tools in your hands. As a general rule, a ladder for seniors should be non-slip, stable and wobble-free.
The HAILO K100 TopLine folding step meets these requirements and allows you to safely reach a working height of up to 2.74 m! The ribbed aluminum steps of the K100 TopLine are extra deep and can bear loads of up to 150 kg. You can also choose between a smaller model with two steps and a version with three steps - depending on the required working height.
The ladder for your household
To ensure that you can carry your ladder, it should be suitably light. This is particularly important in the household. The best household ladders are therefore made of aluminum. This material is lightweight but extremely stable. Another plus point for handling: you can fold up your aluminum safety ladder and store it anywhere in your home and easily transport it to wherever you need it.
This also works with slightly larger household ladders from HAILO such as the HAILO L100 TopLine. This also has a practical multifunctional storage tray with a special safety feature: the extendable safety rail for holding on or leaning against. The top step or platform can be used as a particularly comfortable standing surface or as a storage surface. Thanks to its design, the platform locks securely into place and thus protects against unintentional folding.
