Does the extension ladder have to be fully extended?

The telescopic ladder can be used at any height between the fully folded position and the fully expanded position.

Each step of the telescopic ladder has a separate locking mechanism, allowing you to use them at any height.

Telescopic ladders are very useful around. They provide you with the best of both worlds, you can work in high places outdoors, and work in low places indoors.

If you have any questions. Turn out your instruction manual for careful inspection. You will know from the instruction manual whether your ladder can be used safely at any height or must be fully extended, because the manufacturer must make it very clear to you, for obvious safety reasons.

Is it safe to use my telescopic ladder when it is below full height?

For these types of ladders, each step has its own separate locking mechanism. (Enables you to open only a few rungs and lock them safely.)

Is there anything else I need to know?

Always extend the telescopic ladder from the bottom first, open and fix each section from bottom to top, you can safely use the ladder at any height.

Don't try to open the ladder from the top and close the bottom. This is dangerous and may cause the ladder to collapse.

If you want to open the ladder completely, including every part, the only safe time is to open the extension ladder from the top.

In this case, walk down the ladder, making sure to hear the safety click of each step as you walk.
