When selecting the right height for your safety stepladder, consider what tasks you’ll be undertaking and the height of the spaces you need to reach; a stepladder should ideally allow you to work safely and comfortably at a height without overreaching. For household tasks, a stepladder between 2.5 to 3.5 metres (8 to 12 feet) is typically sufficient, as it helps you access shelves, change light bulbs, or perform maintenance without straining. If you’re a small business owner setting up displays or doing repairs, a stepladder that extends to around 4.5 metres (15 feet) may be more appropriate for those higher areas.
