So....

I have put some feelers out for a particular ladder I am looking for but am not getting any where. So it's time for a Saturday Special Deal.

I will send a £40 hamper (wine/chocolates etc) to the first person who finds me the following ladder, meeting ALL the requirements:

1. 6 tread step ladder
2. Fibreglass.
3. Little platform on top (for screwdrivers, hammer etc).
4. Twin step (i.e you can go up both sides, both sides being the same)
5. In the UK and in stock.
6. Under £200
7. Probably better add that if someone sees this in 10 years and I still haven't got one, I may choose to decline.
8. This doesn't include @telectrix saying he'll make one for £200 :D
9. I haven't found found one in the meantime.

I do reserve the right to say 'that's not quite what I was looking for' even if it appears to meet all of the above. For example this one Welcome to Screwfix | Screwfix Website - https://www.NoLinkingToThis/jsp/trolley/trolleyPage.jsp doesn't quite meet the requirement as both sides are not the same, whereas this one does View: https://www.amazon.com/Werner-Ladder-T6206-Stepladders-6/dp/B000BZX0RY/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1QFSKEI5XIK2Y&dchild=1&keywords=werner+twin+step+ladder&qid=1601124595&sprefix=werner+twin+%2Caps%2C1162&sr=8-3


Happy hunting :)
 
I think you might have to compromise... why not order one in from USA. You'll have to pay a bit more and wait a few weeks, but every other condition is met.

Does that qualify me for half a hamper ?? Just the wine ??
 
What about something like this - scroll down for 6 tread option.

These look like the dogs danglies, but options are 5 or 7 treads and only available in Australia.

Sorry to continually disappoint :p

I think you might be right Zerax. No wine for you though :D

I have seen these ones. Over £200 though so no wine for you, sorry. Although if they are in stock I might just go for them as a last option. I think they've hiked up the price as they're only a £100 ladder really.

See my first post. There is a link to these. They do look good but not quite it.

A lot of good efforts, but no hamper yet! :D

Ps.. The first link you sent are fibreglass, but the top bit sticking out makes it a bit too long for the van I think. Also, the steps on one side look smaller and I'm not sure they are designed for walking up? If they are, I wonder why they are smaller.

You will have to put the money for the hamper towards the ladder though

Ah. I now see on closer inspection. No it isn't even though we still climb up the wrong side sometimes.
I'd just ask one of the wholesalers to get one in for you - thats what I do with Werner ladders. I've had them from CEF, YESSS and Rexel.

Not quite what I'm looking for @Doomed . The little platform at the top needs to be one that is for hammers, screwdrivers etc. Also, the one in your link will be too long for the van.
See my first post as to the type i am looking for, i.e both sides the same. Oh yes, and it's over £200! :D

I'm a man of my word and I genuinely will send a hamper to whomever finds one meeting the criteria in the OP.

Now that one is close to what I'm looking for. Just doesn't have the nice tray on top with little holes for screwdrivers, hammer etc. Also, as you say, in Ireland.

You wouldn't think it would be so hard to find a twin fibreglass step ladder in the UK!

I'm genuinely thinking of just sticking a few wooden steps on to the other side of my existing ladder!

Why do you want it just out of interest?
Click to expand...
Good question Chris, I should have explained a little.

Every now and then I have a think about what problems I have encountered on a job and if they are recurring problems. If so, I have a think if I can make this problem go away or at least make it a little easier.

Sometimes I'm in a small area with my ladder and it is a bit of a pain to fold it up, manoeuvre it around, reopen, climb back up the right side..... and then discover 5 minutes later I need to do the same again.

All these little things add up, so I try and fix them as i go along, making life that little bit easier. Less likely to make mistakes and also perhaps leave 5 minutes earlier supping a pint just that little bit sooner :) .

Does a standard hop up not work in most situations? I find I only use my ladders probably 20% of the time now.
Click to expand...
Yes, the little hop up is great and I probably use it more than the ladder, say 60% of the time, but the 40% when I use the ladder could be better with some lovely twin steps. Not essential by any means, perhaps more of a treat but one I have decided (in my mildly autistic way) that I NEED!

I have been looking for such a ladder too, and I ended up buying one of those ladders I found in this article. Maybe you should have a look there too, I am sure that you will like something really good for you, good luck!
