I have a question I hope I'll get some response from.
I’m a new inspector. I purchased a telescopic ladder to use for my roof
Inspections.But what about one for using to get access into the attic?
I guess I need to get a A frame just for attic access right? Can’t use the telescopic ladder because there is no place to rest the ladder because the hatch needs to be lifted up. It’s a crazy question I know but am I right? Can I use the telescopic ladder for attic access if there is a hatch? Thanks for any feedback. Matt.
I have a little giant and an extend-an-climb telescoping ladder. The telescoping is my go-to because of its light weight. I frequently lean it carefully against a wall and can use it to raise the hatch, then I stick it up through the scuttle.
I have never owned a extend-n-climb ladder and for what reason I don’t know.
My inspection vehicle is a pickup with ladder rack I use the little giant extension 22 ft for residential roofs, 30 ft for commercial buildings, 6 foot step for attic excess hatch and a 3 rung costo step for measuring air flow on a up flow furnace or attic furnace. I have a 2 day commercial scheduled for next week and will be taking all my ladders. One ladder does not meet my requirements for a good inspection.
