At the risk of annoying someone, I have read more than one report about these ladders which insist that although at demonstration displays where the salesman flips the ladder about into and out of all sorts of configurations for tackling every imaginable climbing and trestle task apparently effortlessly, it is a very different thing to achieve on your own.
I did however write this some months, maybe years ago now and was soundly told by a list member, don't remember who that the ladders are just wonderful. Clearly someone is buying them and lots of them. I have a 28 foot and 24 foot extension ladder both of which I find fairly difficult to wrestle about and all they do is go up and down. Mind you a 15 foot ladder would be half the weight and would provide a short trestle to a height useful I suppose around a single story house. Anyway, my advice is to be ware. Any serious use of a platform probably is best achieved with a proper scaffold.

It has multiple sections of ladder that are hinged together and can lock into multiple positions. Thus, you can unfold the ladder completely and make a single long ladder. You can have it fold in the middle to make like an a frame step ladder. You can have say three sections on one side and one section on the other so that you can stand it on stairs or a hill. You can have the end sections vertical and the two middle sections horizontal and make a tressel or scaffold. Hope that explains it. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
