6 Best Multi-Position Ladders of 2024

When it comes to sheer weight capacity, this Little Giant step ladder is pretty hard to beat. It is rated type 1AA, so it can handle a massive 375 pounds in weight. Okay, we get that it isn’t the tallest ladder in the world, but it does have non-slip steps and a safety handrail.

This ladder weighs 16 pounds and has a maximum reach height of 8 ft 8 inches, which is only a standing level of 2.2 feet. It also comes with a smartphone holder, hooks, porthole, and a tray for your tools. The steps are extra wide for added stability and balance, and the handrail swivels into several positions.

You can get this ladder as a 2-step and 4-step option, but the truth is you will not extend your height by much with this range of ladders. Even the maximum standing level on the 4-step is just 2 ft 11 inches.

This is the second Little Ladders product to appear, but unlike the limited height the other ladder gave you, this one has a reach of 22 feet, so it’s perfect for reaching window ledges and guttering.

It extends to make an A-frame, trestle and plank, staircase, and 90 degrees. It is rated as type 1A, so it can handle up to 300 pounds of weight, and you also get wheels for better maneuverability.

This ladder is 20 percent lighter than comparable models, so it only weighs 30.4 pounds, thanks to the aerospace-grade aluminum. It’s also stable because it has flared legs and large plastic grips.

This model includes innovative design features like rock and lock and dual-pin hinges for faster configuration. The glaring downside is the cost. This ladder is twice as expensive as the 3-step version, so it isn’t a budget option.

If you want a ladder that is space-saving and easy to transport, this Yvan telescoping ladder is an excellent choice. It extends to a maximum height of 12.5 feet, which is some way short of the Little Ladders reach, and when you want to retract the ladder, it does it with the touch of a button.

You get an intelligent locking system, and you can extend the ladder and lock it in position at any height you want. It has a maximum weight capacity of 330 pounds, so it is rated type 1A, making it ideal for the professionals out there.

It’s lightweight, at 24.6 pounds, and when retracted, it measures just 33.5 inches. The only downside with this ladder is it doesn’t feel as stable as others models that make the review. You also have to retract it fully and then adjust the height if you want to select a different level.

Okay, so this is the second telescoping ladder to feature, but this one differs because it is an A-frame ladder. It’s also excellent value for money, which is why we made it our budget pick.

It only has a maximum height of 5.58 feet, so it is better for projects within easier reach, but it has a weight capacity of 330 pounds. It has non-slip handles, strengthened footrests, extra-grip end caps, and a self-locking function.

Like the other telescoping ladder, this one retracts with the touch of one button, and the whole process only takes about 6 seconds. What stood out for us was the price. It retails at under half the cost of other similar models.

This ladder is multifunctional in so many ways. It zig-zags, turns into an A-frame, extends fully to 12.5 feet, and even has a 90-degree setting. You can configure this ladder into almost any shape to tackle the trickiest tasks. In fact, it has 9 different positions in total.

So, it’s a surprise that this model only weighs 26 pounds. Plus, it has a weight capacity of 330 pounds, so it warrants its 1A rating.

The length of each rung is 12 inches, and when it is folded, it measures 40 x 15 x 11 inches, making it easier to store away. This is the complete package for all your ladder needs, and it even comes with 2 platforms.

One negative is that some customers report that the rungs flex when they stand on them, making the ladder feel unsafe.

For the premium option, we’ve gone with this Senrod telescopic ladder. It extends to 16.5 feet, giving it the most extended reach of all the telescoping ladders, and it swivels to 30 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees.

It’s made from durable aluminum, has anti-pinch plastic pillars between each rung to stop your fingers from getting trapped, and it locks at every step, with 2 steel locking pins.

It can take up to 330 pounds in weight, and when folded, it stands just 36 inches tall. It also weighs 38.5 pounds, making it portable and lightweight. This is the premium choice, so you would expect it to be expensive; however, it does cost 1.5 times the price of the budget model.
