Another common type of ladder offering great convenience is the extension ladder. This ladder offers a great choice for working at multiple heights as it will have two sections layered on top of each other. As the name implies, it will extend out to reach higher areas.

It can be extended when in use and when not in use, the steps folds into each other much like a telescope. This is a great ladder for those transporting a ladder often as it’s small and compact.
