advice on steps

[shanky887614]

ive got a job to go to on mon in car, any tripple steps (around 6tred size) that will fit inside a hatchback?

otherwise ill need to see what i can make do with or get a roofrack soon

im thinking of getting a set of these? what do you guys think

there 2m long (6 treds)

 

[uksparks]

I've got a 4 tread and 8 tread, I think the top counts as one. The 8 tread is massive.

Try Clow Ladders

Superglas EN131 Glassfibre Steps

if you ring the Birmingham branch, the lady, can't think of her name but they will do you a much better price if you call them direct, quite a bit cheaper.

top quality steps!

They will fit into the boot of any car. Just be careful you have the hinge correctly clicked in place. I near wrecked myself one time when i didn't.

 

[Marvo]

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to get roof bars rather than new steps?

 

[Leesparkykent]

Just get a mate with you and get him to do this lol.

evening Shanky, I've got both...the Youngman 100 good bit of kit for outside work, I'm 14 stone. Gets me up to 1st floor window. You might get it inside a Volvo etc at a push.The other one is awkward s*d and heavy but with a scaff board gives a longish platform to stand on.

Really? Why not? I work in a factory so am never on sites that much.

Is it because it is class ii or the actual design.

 

[egg67]

got one of this lyte glassfibre combination ladder, it fits in a seat ibiza with passenger seat folded back as i found out on friday when van would not start, or just a three way ladder/step from one of the sheds, or borrow from someone to do job, then get a good roof rack

what about podiums and scaffolds then?

 

[PEG]

Just paint what you've got,yellow.

No-one here will grass you up...:conehead:

Down to construction company, they must take practical steps for safety. A few sites I been on will not allow scaffolds internally, an will insist on scissor platforms only.

still shock risk isnt it?

 

[tazz]

The scissor lift is isolated by the wheels, construction sites are getting H&S mad with steps etc. When you arrive on site, your own steps will be inspected, and issued with a inspection badge. This will need to be inspected every week and issued with new badge.

Its a shame we can't ban the H+S nuts from the sites rather than our traditional tried and tested means of access

Whatever was wrong with standing on a forklift with your metal, class whatever diy step ladder balanced precariously on the forks of the machine with outstretched arms,your mate hanging on to your overalls to deny you the thrill of hitting the deck from 20 feet,------- one and all lol

The next thing I expect some H+S numpty will ban the use of stanley knives for stripping swa or something just as stupid

[John Barclay]

[telectrix]

only advice i can give on steps is....... don't buy their records, they're rubbish.

 

[SPARTYKUS]

H&S.... A spread told me on one site he was drinking his tea and the numpty came over and said you cant drink that with sugar in it because it attracts rats... So he threw it at the wall and shouted "FFS" and left the site

Just about to chop my baby in. I reckon it will get though MOT okay and it always attracts attention. Apparently it was the T5 Sportline Kombi of its day (its got back windows in see). Make an offer, but don't insult me. I know what she's worth!!
