Which ladder fits your project?
Choosing the right ladder starts with your intended use. Need to wash windows, decorate, or paint indoors? A step ladder is ideal. Want more versatility with multiple positions like A-frame or a small platform? Pick a folding ladder or multi-hinge ladder. If you work at height daily and require greater load capacity, select a professional ladder built for maximum stability and durability. Below you’ll find the main types and their advantages.
Step ladder for quick and safe indoor work
A step ladder – also called a household ladder – is perfect for indoor jobs like painting, hanging curtains, or cleaning. Wide steps provide comfort for longer tasks. Many models feature a platform, safety rail, and tray, keeping your tools close at hand. The A-frame design ensures stability without needing wall support. A step ladder folds quickly and takes up little space. If you value portability and ease of use, this is your go-to choice.
Folding and multi-hinge ladders: versatile and flexible
A folding ladder or multi-hinge ladder is known for its adaptability. It can be used in an A-frame setup or – depending on the model – as a small work platform. The locking hinge system secures clearly defined positions, so you can adjust without tools. This multi-purpose ladder is popular with painters, installers, and DIY users. If you frequently work at various heights or surfaces indoors or on flat outdoor areas, this type is a true all-rounder.
Professional aluminum ladders for heavy-duty use
Need a ladder every day or for demanding projects? Choose professional aluminum ladders with strong profiles, durable hinges, and enhanced grip on the steps. These models are designed for intensive use, focusing on stability, comfort, and long service life. Their lightweight build makes moving them between spaces or floors effortless.
Main benefits of Doika ladders
Our ladders bring together safety, comfort, and performance. Anti-slip profiles ensure a stable grip, even on long tasks. Locks are secure and easy to use. The lightweight aluminum structure is strong yet easy to handle. Many models fold compactly, saving storage space in your shed or van. Details like wide feet, solid hinges, and rounded steps add comfort and confidence, allowing you to work more precisely and with peace of mind.
Materials, quality and safety
Our range focuses on aluminum ladders, striking the perfect balance between weight and strength. Aluminum resists rust and requires little maintenance. When selecting, check for anti-slip steps, durable caps, and a solid stabilizing bar or foot. Many models meet European safety standards such as EN 131. Always inspect the locks and condition of the ladder before use to maintain a safe environment.
Choosing the right height
Correct ladder height prevents overstretching and instability. As a rule of thumb, your working height is about two meters above your standing level. Standing on a one-meter step or platform lets you reach around three meters, depending on your height and posture. For indoor use with a step ladder, choose a model that allows shoulder-height work without stretching. Unsure between two sizes? Pick the taller one for added comfort.
Applications and examples
At home, a step ladder is ideal for windows, lighting, and cabinets. For interior painting, pick a stable model with a platform. In warehouses or workshops, a professional aluminum ladder with wide steps ensures safe and pleasant use. For garden tasks on flat ground, like trimming or cleaning outdoor lighting, a folding ladder offers flexibility. Always place ladders on stable, dry surfaces and use anti-slip mats if needed to focus fully on the task.
Safe working at height: practical tips
Inspect your ladder before each job. Look for damage, loose hinges, or worn feet. Place it squarely on stable ground. Avoid slippery or uneven surfaces. Lock all sections as instructed. Always fully extend a folding ladder to the correct position. Wear sturdy shoes with grip. Maintain three points of contact where possible: two feet and one hand. Don’t carry heavy objects while climbing; use a tool belt or have items handed up. Take breaks on longer tasks. Safety begins with preparation.
Maintenance and storage
Clean your ladder regularly by removing paint, dirt, and oil from rungs and rails to preserve grip. Check hinges and locks for smooth operation. Replace worn caps and damaged parts promptly. Store ladders in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and chemicals. With heavy use, periodic professional inspection is wise. Proper care extends the lifespan and ensures consistent performance, giving you the most from your investment.
Frequently asked questions about ladders
Which ladder do I need for indoor use?
Usually a step ladder works best indoors. It stands on its own, sets up quickly, and provides comfort with a platform and rail. Choose a height that matches your ceilings, windows, and cupboards to avoid overstretching.
What is the difference between a step ladder and a folding ladder?
A step ladder stands independently in an A-frame with platform and rail. A folding ladder has hinges and multiple positions, making it more adaptable. Use a step ladder for quick indoor jobs and a folding ladder for varied tasks.
What height should I choose for painting and cleaning?
Work out your height and add about two meters of reach. Pick a step ladder or folding ladder that lets you work at shoulder height comfortably. If in doubt, choose the taller size for safety.
Can one ladder handle different tasks?
Yes. A folding ladder is a great option if you tackle diverse jobs. With multiple positions, it adapts to different heights and tasks both indoors and on flat outdoor surfaces.
How do I maintain my aluminum ladder?
Keep it clean, check locks and caps, replace worn parts, and store it dry. This keeps it safe, reliable, and long-lasting.
