What height ladder do I need?
26 November 2025
Steel stepladders are one of the most popular and reliable types of portable ladders. They are valued for their combination of strength, safety, and versatility.

1. Strength and reliability
Steel can withstand heavy loads compared to aluminum or plastic. Steel ladders can be used safely for intensive use and for working with heavy tools.
2. Durability
With proper care (anti-corrosion coating, storage in a dry place), a steel ladder will last for decades without losing its functionality.
3. Stability

Due to its weight, steel makes the ladder more stable than aluminum. It wobbles less and stands better on the surface, which increases safety.
4. Structural safety
Often equipped with wide steps with a corrugated surface, reliable fasteners, anti-slip supports, and handrails for additional support.
5. Affordable price
Compared to aluminum and especially composite counterparts, steel ladders are usually cheaper with comparable characteristics.



If you need maximum strength and stability, it is better to buy steel ladders.
