Types of Ladders 

Ladders are built with specific uses in mind, so knowing which ladder type best suits your needs is essential. Check our handy guide for different types of ladders and ladder materials to know which will help you complete the job. 

Step Ladders

Step ladders are the most common kind of foldable ladder and have many uses around the home. Lightweight, maneuverable and with the ability to fold away for convenient storage makes them handy for when you need help reaching things up high around the house. 

They are great for tasks such as changing a lightbulb, cleaning a ceiling fan or decorating the top of a Christmas tree.

Step Stools

Similar to foldable ladders, step stools are smaller and easier to move around your kitchen, basement or garage. They’re ideal for quickly reaching upper cabinets or shelves.

Our selection includes simple stools with one or two steps, or multi-rung models to help you reach even higher without needing a full-size step ladder. 

Extension Ladders

Extension ladders make a versatile option for indoor and outdoor housework. The extendable design quickly and safely turns a compact 6 ft. ladder into a 16 ft. ladder or even a 20 ft. ladder, making even the most hard-to-reach parts of your home accessible. They can be used as a:

• Painter’s ladder for exterior redecoration.
• Wall ladder for clearing gutters or repairing roofing.

Ace also offers telescoping ladders that can easily convert to multi-positions for various tasks around the house. They are compact and easy to transport from place to place.

Attic Ladders

When facing space constraints, an attic ladder can provide convenient access to your attic without needing to install a full staircase. Ace carries ready to install wooden attic ladders with pull strings for easy operation. Look for attic ladders with wrap-around door hinges to help with insulation. 

Ladder Materials

Whichever style of ladder your job demands, we have a model in the right material for the task. Depending on your needs, you can choose:

• A fiberglass ladder for rugged durability in a basement or garage.
• Weather-resistant aluminum ladders for any outdoor projects.

To ensure your safety, ladders from Ace are built to exacting standards using only high-quality materials and supplied by brands like Werner, Cosco and Little Giant.
