Really good ladders that will fit in your car boot. They feel sturdy,there easy to assemble and put away overall I’m impressed
I wanted some longish ladders that I could easily fit in a car. Looked at various ones but chose these due to their easy collapsible mechanism. Extends to 3.8m which is high enough for me and just slide the two buttons and they collapse down – great to watch! Still has the option to collapse one step at a time if you need to adjust the height.
They feel sturdy at full extend. I put up a wireless CCTV camera at 3m with ease and felt safe. Would highly recommend.
Good ladder, easy to put up and retract. Feels sturdy, bends a little at max length.
Seem to be good quality and well engineered in operation, but when extended without any weight on, they have a lot of movement in between rungs if wiggled backwards and forwards.
My previous set (bought from maplins years ago), seemed sturdier in that respect.
Bought as a ladder for the attic, and it works reasonably efficiently. Sturdy and stable even for a heavy build like my own.
This is the updated model that is easy to extend and safer to let down because it has been modified to slow the decent of the sections which really is good. It works well for me as I only want to use it to gain access to my flat roof occasionally. However it feels a little unsteady (when compared to a traditional ladder) and therefore wouldn’t consider using it to carry out work off.
Good for occasional use. Storage is easy and they are strong and stable enough for small jobs. Would want a proper ladder for regular use.
Super for home use AND PLEASE READ the manual FIRST !
The correct way to extend the ladder varies by whether you want it at full length, or only partially open. Please make sure you read the manual and understand the different techniques. If you make a mistake it may be a very painful fail.
For occasional home use I think this a great value purchase. I have marked sturdiness as 4 stars because in comparison to other ladders costing three or four times as much, it does feel less sturdy – but those ladders are targeted at full time professionals and are expected to last years and years.
Happy to recommend for home use.
I use this as a loft ladder where I cannot easily fit an access ladder. I store it behind the door in my office where it does not take up any useable space.
Had it for a year or so now. Extending the ladder takes a bit of getting used to, but once you get the hang of it no problem.
Not used it yet but looks solid & well made. Clear instructions just surprised how heavy it is, thought would be lighte
The day after I received the ladder I had an accident which is taking a time to heal.I did try it on the first day before the accident and found very easy to erect and it was very stable.
hoping to use in anger in the near future…….
A very good buy.
A bit heavier than anticipated but a good sturdy item
Never having owned or even heard about telescopic ladders I have been pleasantly surprised by how useful this has been.
Bought this for access to a double height indoor window. Saves all the hassle of trying to get a standard ladder in from outside.
Good product.
Easy to extend but a little heavy for me to manoeuvre
Ordered a 3.8m telescopic ladder and I can say they are pretty good.
What stands out is the compact size of only 89cm high when folded. This will fit in any smaller size shed, side of the van(inside), garage, etc…
The plastic smooth grip allows you to carry these with ease and not even feel them, and mention, these are quite heavy weighing around 12kg.
Extending is super easy by only standing on the lowest step and simply extending it out with your hands. Folding them up is even easier. Pull two black tabs on the bottom for automatic folding of whole ladders or push only red tabs and ladders will fold down to pushed tabs.
When folded there is a strong lock-in mechanism strap which holds the ladders safe and folded.
It was super simple to assemble or to be more precise add the stabilising bar to the ladders. The ends of stabilising bars are made of strong durable rubber and will prevent slipping of the ladders. They are slightly rounded so they will be completely flat, whichever reasonable angle of the ladders are used.
I’d highly recommend these ladders if you are looking for something that will save you a lot of space yet be useful all around and help you with hard to reach spaces.
Happy with this ladder. I bought a different type some years ago but had to be careful not to trap my fingers when closing, no such issue with this.
Arrived well packaged, with no problems. A very well made item, sturdy and stable. So far, I have only used it partially extended, to access the loft, but it felt very stable to climb, and no slack or lateral movement noticed between the sections. The telescoping sections are very smooth when extending or reducing. Excellent, well engineered product. It will, no doubt, find many more uses, and looks and feels made to last!
My only negative opinion is the weight. It could be a little heavy to move any distance, when folded. However, this is evidence of its adequate, solid construction, and should not be regarded as a fault! I’m very pleased with it!
This ladder is great its so easy to move around and extend and when youve finished with it a press of the buttons and down it comes. It flexs a little when you extend it to the max but its sturdy enough and up to the job.
Surprisingly sturdy & useful to replace a rigid ladder that needs storage for this fold-down one.
Fantastic ladder and very sturdy.
Used it to clean gutters and windows on first floor, it’s light and easy to set up, cannot fault it.
very practical and much more stable than a regular ladder. Shame the rungs cant be a bit wider…
Only used once but reaches to the gutters on a two storey house perfectly. Felt very stable and safe. Very easy to raise and lower the ladder. A little heavy but I guess if it was lighter it may not feel as safe. Very pleased with it.
Not used as yet, but look and feel very sturdy and up for the job!
Good ladders when I worked out to use them properly.
Was sceptical but having read some positive reviews so bought one. Keep to the rules, make sure all steps are locked and I absolutely love it.
Very impressed with this ladder. It’s a bit heavy but when you are up it it’s reassuring to know that it’s not light and flimsy. Great value and nice and compact.
Bought this to replace a two ladder system which was way to heavy to safely handle.I am absolutely made up with this telescopic ladder.It enables me to get up to window height very easily and is very easy to move around.It collapses (in a good way),into a small easily transportable unit.
I had shopped about with regards to telescopic ladders before committing to buying this set . I will say these are fantastic and great value . I use these all the time for jobs and wouldn’t be without them now . the self balance bar on the bottom is a great reassurance when working alone at height. highly recommend this item
Perfect and lightweight ladder for use in my loft. Stores neatly in a cupboard.
A very easy to use set of ladders, easy to move and small enough when folded to stir easily! Will fit the boot of most cars.
Bought to access loft, wanted something safe and sturdy, not used them for that yet but used them outside do do a few repairs etc. Very sturdy and reliable. Feel very safe and closing system is great. Would recommend
Air compression retraction of rungs is a great safety feature
Great to access loft easy to store and move abou
Easy to use. Compact and lightweight. Very happy with them.
Bought to use to get up top of caravan still to use
I was decorating the hall and stairs and needed to paint the walls at the top of the stairwell on the 2nd floor but couldn’t reach it with normal steps, and couldn’t get a standard ladder up round the bend. Therefore I thought I’d try buying a telescopic ladder, and very pleased I did. The beauty is that you can adjust it to the exact height you need and when you’ve finished you just press a button at the bottom and it automatically lowers itself. Very cool! I does bend slightly as you climb up it but it always felt secure. You need to make sure that you keep a damp cloth handy to wipe off any paint from the sides otherwise it may affect it the smoothness of the lowering after use. Relatively light in weight and folded it doesn’t take up much space so would fit easily in a cupboard. Very pleased with it overall, I’m in my 60s and wish I had one years ago!
This ladder is very easy to use and much safer than my previous ladder I bought from another brand, the soft close action gives you time to remove your fingers out of the way should you forget to move them, the ladder seems quite sturdy and the stabiliser bar is a good safety feature as well. It’s a pity Amazon delivered it a day earlier than stated and it was left on my doorstep in full view for 24 hours until I arrived home.
Just the item for that spur of the moment job, handy to store and readily available. A little on the heavy side compared to others I’ve looked at but very sturdy and safe when in use. I love the way it closes up after use , just flip the lower buttons and the thing just folds down on itself .
A great purchase. Easy to assemble and very strong. Great if theres lack of storage also.
Using this for access to the loft and it is ideal. Had a few extra feet I could extend it by when reaching the loft although the top three rungs are for extending and holding onto only. It’s so easy to set up and collapse again. Just make sure you follow the instructions on where to place your hands when operating it. It can catch you out first time but you quickly get used to where to place your hands before collapsing it. Its sturdy when it’s extended and it’s not light by any means but moving it around isn’t difficult. I’m 5’1″ and 8 stone wet through and I managed to carry it without straining myself. I would definitely recommend this product. Great quality and ideal for home projects.
So I wanted the benefit of both with and without stabiliser bar. After contacting WolfWise a very helpful lady, Jolene, understood my dilemma and helped work through a solution. I ended up ordering a pair of additional rubber feet from Ebay, which after a slight modification (see attached photos) fits directly over the legs of the ladder creating a stable and non slip solution to access the loft.
This ladder is teeth
Put up in seconds and then same in collapsing it
Fully recommend
Full wibble wobble
Great ladder. I have used it to felt a shed roof, it was sturdy and stable even on uneven ground.
Bought instead of loft ladder in garage, I thought this would be better and have multiple uses unlike a normal loft ladder and only a few quid more. Should have bought one years ago….Amazing…
Very well built and stable ladder. Using it certainly provides confidence particularly with the balance bar. Folds up perfectly to store or transport in the garage.
The instructions are not entirely clear and possibly translated but easy to work out .
The weight is fine for me but may prove heavy for some.
Excellent product well worth the money. used has a loft ladder easy to erect and easy to close. and to store.
Well designed, very easy to use, manufactured with high quality materials. Good for loft access where restricted space means that a fold away loft ladder is difficult to install, or anywhere to which carrying a conventional ladder is difficult.
A TV aerial guy came to my house with these and I was blown away. Ordered a set straight away. Pack away so small and neatly. Easy to use. Absolutely delighted with these. Great to take to family if needed.
Bought for son in law’s Christmas present. He loves it and is delighted that something so useful takes up so little storage space. I have a shorter one myself and wouldn’t be without it!
This ladder was bought for my son. He is very happy with it. Sorry I don’t know anything about it myself.
Strong and works well. I had another brand before and this is lighter, more sturdy and closes much better. Very recommended.
Bought this ladder to carry it aroud on my Motorhome and it works absolutely perfect. Fits on my garage underneath the bed perfectly fine and it’s very easy to deploy and stow away when done using it.
Length is about perfect to access my motorhome’s roof and put stuff on the roof rack. It feels very sturdy and safe even on windy situations.
I’m not a big fan of ladders, I usually dread having to climb on one as they always feel woobly and unsafe. I’m not sure if it’s the added estabilization or what but this one really inspires confidence.
Once thing to note is that it might be bigger than you think, which is a good thing as it really is sturdy but I supposed my first impression was: “oh, it’s actually big!” but again… fits the purpose perfectly fine. Would recommend!
have viewed cheaper items but this is a good quality telescope ladder With good stability easy to operate and at a good price
when u climb on it,you will feel the ladder is shaking,overall,good product…
Very sturdy hence the weight and bottom bar. So easy to compress via the two release catches on the bottom rung.
I’m a woman on my own and needed to get into the loft which is quite high. I have a ladder which felt very unstable so decided to buy this one. Easy to put the feet on, easy to carry and simple to put up and put down. I felt completely safe going up into the loft and carrying all the Xmas decorations back down the ladder. Brilliant buy.
Brilliant ladder at a brilliant sale price. Slightly heavier than I was expecting but better to err on that side as it adds to the sturdiness. Some caution needed when opening/closing/carrying but the soft-close function works as advertised, thank goodness. Recommended.
I needed a ladder, but didn’t have the space for one, i presume that’s why everyone would be looking for one of these. However when ordering i thought it would be a lot smaller than it is, i should have read the description. For me however, this worked out perfectly! It’s actually allowed me to not only get on top of the shed to seal up a couple of leaks but also get onto the house of the roof to clean out the drain pipes.
It comes collapsed down and simply bolts on the additional support before being able to fully extend it from something that is no bigger than the kitchen units. Be careful though it’s really heavy, but i suppose it needs to be in order to give you the stability to climb up 3.8M.
No wobbles or slips once up there, although as always, best to have someone supporting the ladder down the bottom.
Easy to put up and take down . Good weight v sturdy. I felt safe on it . Stores into relatively small space. Stabiliser bar is good but to attach stabiliser bar use your own socket spanner as the spanners supplied are fiddely.
I am working on a garden room build a neighbour loaned me a similar one the week earlier. Prior to that day only 2 weeks ago I didn’t know they existed.
This model is so sturdy and the stabiliser bar absolutely helps so much, my neighbours didn’t have this.
We’ve had none stop atrocious weather and my neighbours ladders sunk in to the ground, these don’t with the stabiliser.
I can easily adjust to the required height and it folds away to hardly any space in the garage.
I’ve already washed the upstairs windows also.
It was time to add a ladder to my collection of (limited) DIY equipment, to clean and repair the guttering (and to put up the Xmas lights so I’ve been told!). This telescopic ladder had good reviews, so one click and a day latter, my new purchase arrived.
Firstly, I’ve been super cautious with ladders like these – I’ve had a loft ladder collapse on me previously so I’m not as fast or care-free these days. The ladder is well built and easy to use – Put a foot on the lowest rung and slide the slander up from the top. The rings fall into place as the ladder extends and are rock solid. I set up outside to try and felt fairly comfortable near the top. The ladder is easy to also take down – Using the safety latch, the ladder uses air compression to safely and slowly bring each layer down again.
I also like that this particular version came with an additional WIDE stabilisation bar – This can be installed at the bottom of the ladder and covers a wider area to provide additional support. I installed this later in the day and found it mitigated my worry of side wobble! It’s a little heavy to carry around, but I’d see that as a reflection of the quality.
Overall, super happy with the purchase. It’s easy to use, sturdy and reliable.
Reviewed a fair few ladders on here but found out they should have the bar on the bottom..
These are great ladders & would recommend them mine are great..
This works really well – I wish I had bought one years ago. Telescoping and retracing mechanism is slick and effective. There is a little bit of torsion when fully extended that you don’t get with a conventional ladder, but it feels stable enough (3.8 m version). Maybe the upper surface of the rungs could be made a bit rougher to give more grip?
Bought for loft access. Good product. Sturdier than I thought it would be. Had to read instructions to save fingers !!! Good value for money
I tell it as it is!!
I’m stingy so don’t want to spend money on a window cleaner!!!
I have a two bed house so don’t have much space!!!
So there…. A good value ladder for me wash the windows that’s stores away really easily!!!!
It took us a while to realise they need to be extended from the bottom rungs. I bought them to get in the loft but it is awkward to extend in a small area. However, we worked out the best way for these ladders to work for us. They are plenty long enough and I’m happy with them.
The main reason I had issues stemmed from the fact that I have disabilities.
I seen in other reviews people talking about the stabilisation bar not coming attached as if this was an issue. This is simply screwed into place when it arrives with full length bolts. Once in place correctly it will not move in anyway. If fitting 2 long bolts and nuts together are a problem then I dont think you should be climbing any ladder in the first place.
The ladder is very well put together and a solid piece of kit.
Even at full extension I found I could manoeuvre it around if needed but this is not recommended on manual handling and safety grounds.
I have not found any issue while climbing this ladder. It comes with a 2yr warranty but I expect it to last alot longer than that.
The weight of the ladder has also been detailed as heavy. In truth for 3.8m ladder I have found this to be a similar weight to size as any ladder but because of its design when collapsed it is far easier to move and travel around with.
I would have no problem recommending this ladder for general DIY purposes at home like I will be using mine for.
Great piece of kit which is ideal for me to carry around in van as it saves so much space. Once you get used to operating these telescopic ladders they are a great tool to have and very sturdy. Come with a support bar for base which I have left off as only use them inside properties mainly for getting into loft spaces but have the option of fitting if using outdoors for extra piece of mind when climbing higher. Bit heavier than was expecting but this gives me more confidence in them knowing that they are well built. Would highly recommend this type of ladder if wanting something that goes neat and compac
So I got these because I had nowhere to store my long ladders other than out in the garden so I wanted a set that I could put in the shed without taking up to much space and I can also put them in the boot when I do jobs at other houses.
First thing that I noticed is that they have a nice wide step and combined with the stabilising bar, I feel really safe on them.
They are easy to extend to whatever length I need and have a brilliant soft close feature than means they close up with a slight pause for each rung to prevent anything like fingers getting trapped.
They feel strong, I’m 100kg and they felt safe with my weight on them.
Very safe automatic closing system as well. Unlike other models that trap your fingers when closing the ladder, this one closes slower so to prevent injuries and avoid catching fingers in the rungs.
Easy to carry and store away. Probably one of the best telescopic ladder on the market. Totally worth the price.
One attempt to get the hang of it. Absolutely excellent product. Slow closing really is a plus.
Wish I had discovered these ladders ages ago. Even a workman doing a large project in my house was impressed and is purchasing a set.
ot lightweight unless you are already quite strong. A little bit of a pain to put up but overall they are okay.
I took my time deliberating over which ladder to buy and this one didn’t disappoint. It extends and collapses easily, and has good grippy ‘feet’. The only thing of note is that it’s a but heavier than I personally anticipated but I wouldn’t mark it down as a negative. All in all a good buy.
Not suitable for tradesman who needs regular, heavy use, wouldnt take the punishment I dont believe, plus they have to be kept clean and dry, and that wouldn’t happen in regular commercial use.
Very light commericial use, Im talking once or twice a week in clean conditions, your probably going to be ok.
Great ladders, relatively easy to use. First set of telescopic ladders I have had so was a little sceptical. however after first use and concerns disappeared. Feels sturdy, can be a little difficult to extend in tight spaces, ie landing to access loft. Overall good, however when collapsed, they are quite heavy.
Very well constructed, might not be the lightest but proper tubing for the purpose isn’t light. Easy to add the stabilising bar/foot. Very nice pneumatic release mechanism. Fully safety labelled. Registering for the Warranty was easy. No regrets with this item, fit for purpose.
A solid, well constructed Telescopic Ladder, the damping in closing the ladder is nice and gentle adding to the safety features. On full extension the ladder feels very safe and the base bar again adds to the safety of this Ladder. Foot treads feel firm and grippy. Overall I was pleased with this purchase of this ladder.
I have been looking for a telescopic ladder for some time. Many of the ladders I looked at seemed to compromise safety to reduce weight and were flimsy and narrow. This ladder is a little heavier but it is certainly strong and safe. It is also easy to use and to reduce the likelihood of the ladder slipping the safety bar is an additional feature many other ladders do not have.
This is an excellent ladder. It’s easy to use, and with the stabilizer bar fitted it is much safer.
It has a soft close feature which should help the careless folk from breaking their fingers!
Recommended.
Good ladder does the job and like the soft close option makes it easy to use n store
Note the extra bar does make it wider for storage but helps keep the ladder solid
Overall very happy and glad I spent a bit more to get the functions I were looking for. The ladder feels of great quality and have no doubt I will get many years of use out of it.
Don`t normally write reviews but felt I had to say that this product is superb. Everthing they state is correct.
If you need a good quality mobile ladder that easily stows away then look no further!
Excellent product and it’s as sturdy as hell. I’m 6’3″ and 17 1/2 stone and it supports my weight with ease. Easy to adjust and set up. Definitely recommend to spend a little more money than the cheaper versions.
Product is sturdy and easy to use. wanted a ladder that didn’t involve moving the caravan to get it out of the garage!
Little confusing that part of description described it as a loft ladder – which it obviously isn’t.
Wanted something that was well made. Got exactly what I wanted.
Very good quality ladders.
Excellent ladder for Motorhome cleaning duties and I use it for lift access too. If you are careful to read the instructions for use it is sturdy and not too heavy, looks like it will have a long life, good purchase.
They reach the top of that vaulted ceiling, are quite light and reasonably easy to manhandle even fully extended and can be stored in a very small space. Those are the good points.
The not so good is that the ladders only work fully extended(maybe I missed this in the description) and they did not feel entirely sturdy when climbing up toward the top. I was hoping to be able to half extend them and use them in other areas of the flat for decorating and the likes but this is not possible.
The loft. Only issue I have, and not the fault of these ladders is the lift opening in my house is quite small so have put the ladders on a steeper angle than I would like. But they are a great set of ladders. Easy to store
It took a little while to gain confidence but now I’ve used it quite a bit I love it well made sturdy and easy to carry. It takes up no room just keep it clean as it’s telescopic and use as per the safety instructions it is a good product.
Extremely well made and sturdy.
Light weight and easy to carry both when fully extended and collapsed.
The clip and strap keeps everything tidied together and easy to transport.
The closing mechanism work like a dream and they feel as secure as standard ladders.
I bought these for easy access to my loft as the compact size the ladders reduce to means I can easily store them in an upstairs cupboard.
Great ladders at a really good price, really pleased with this purchase.
The extra stabiliser bar is excellent, (make sure you order the right version in order to have the stabiliser bar).
The inclusion of the “soft close” function is a very nice feature. By just pushing the two black catches the ladder closes gently and safely, a section at a time, one after the other.
Storage is very good, with the strap holding everything in place, and ther is a useful hand-grip to carry it around.
The only small issues was when using it for the first time, one of the red locking button did not catch properly. Having seen that it had not “popped out”, in order to lock correctly. By giving it a firm pull everything went together properly and it has not happened again.
It is always best to quickly check that each red catch has locked correctly when you extend each section of the ladder.
After some research, I decided on the Wolfwise 3.8m telescopic ladder particularly as it also had a stabiliser bar … I have tested the new ladder and am very pleased with it … The opening and closing actions are very smooth and the rungs click into place audibly on the way up … I think that if 3.8m (or less) is the height you need, then this ladder is a perfect choice … It will fit in the car boot very easily which is a bonus.
Lowering the ladder is simplicity itself .. Lean the ladder nearly vertically against a high wall or similar solid surface … Push the two catches in and the ladder commences to slide down in a sort of jerky fashion … It is not the rapid dangerous (finger nipping) drop as in some other types of telescopic ladder … Ideally the wall that you lean the ladder against should not be really rough as you might rub away the plastic tops of the ladder tubes … The smoother the wall, the smoother the ladder will drop down.
This ladder is not a flimsy lightweight ladder but is still easy enough for me to use and carry, even though I am now 81 years old … I can recommend this ladder in the 3.8m length since it has the stabilisers and it can also be easily used on any lower heights in about one foot (300mm) intervals … A strap is attached to hold the ladder in the closed position … Wonderful.
