Great ladder

Date:February 5, 2012

"Bought this ladder on sale for $200. Was a great value. So far it can do everything I need it to do. I've been losing a battle against a chandelier with rusted out light sockets in my foyer with 17 foot ceilings. This ladder helped me finally win."

Top locking device is garbage

Date:December 27, 2011

"Agree with the Oct 17 2011 review. I bought the ladder (Thank goodness it was on sale & not full price) for my son for Christmas. Before I took it over to his house I tried it out. The main locking system to lock it in place for straight ladder or step ladder basically didn't want to work. To lock it into step ladder mode sometimes it worked & other time took 15 minutes to get it to lock in. I don't know about it's durability as I will be taking it back this week. Too bad I have lots of Mastercraft tools but this doesn't live up to it's name. I could find no evidence of it being a Vulcan ladder so once more it appears CT changed suppliers rather than sticking to tried & proven products."

Garbage

Date:October 17, 2011

"Worst piece of junk I've seen. All but one of the clips that are supposed to hold it in position have broken off, the thing is heavier than most steel ladders, and it constantly jams when trying to adjust it.

Absolute trash."

Great for any homeowner

Date:November 29, 2010

"This ladder is about the same weight as a 24' extension ladder but it's so much more versatile and easier to store!

Great when working with off-level surfaces as you can extend the legs just on one side or for use it as a a pair of scaffold frames when required."

Good ladder

"I'm really satisfied with this ladder, tons of possibility. Tall enough to reach the skylites on my vaulted ceiling and easy to store. Very solid but, it's fairly heavy."

Best package for personal use

Date:October 25, 2010

"Compact enough to fit in my car.
At 21', long enough to meet my house needs.

When extended for use, be prepared it is hard to maneuver, can be unwieldy as you have to lengthen the top end while at the ground, then lift and land into place. That's a whole lot of ladder to leverage up. Two able persons is mandatory. (To compare, regular extension ladders you upright first then pull the rope to extend before climbing).

Similarly, "walking" the extended ladder is top heavy. Shortening the lower legs while upright can be done, though watch out for the rungs! I can pull a latch in prep, and upon pulling the second latch, the ladder descends and the first immediately closes into the next arriving hole, for a controlled descent. A second person would be good again in my case.

I got too much black aluminum on my hands from handling, so wear gloves. I didn't "wash" the ladder first, so perhaps that would solve.

The wide V-shaped leg ends provided stability at the bottom and climbing and working security at the top. The latch pivot is a very effective and simple to use design, snapping automatically into place. Extending the legs glides smoothly all the way. Smart design. Good footing with each step. When stored, the ladder stands firmly on its' legs. It's compact density feels acceptably heavy.

For ocassional (annual) use, I'm very happy with my purchase. Waited for 50% off. I think the design is better than Sears. Will use it as step ladder too. As planned, no need for many ladders. This one does the job. Well."

21 footer

Date:October 13, 2010

"Just picked this up on sale at about 1/2 price. Tried out a couple of configurations and so far seems very easy to change, extend etc. Locking mechanism seems very positive and secure. Had it at full extension and felt very stable climbing to the top (I'm about 180lbs). So far so good, I'll reserve judgment on the durability and performance until I've used it a few more times.
Only comment is at full extension it is fairly top heavy and takes a bit to maneuver. Otherwise I'm pretty certain this one is going to replace the other three ladders I've got sitting around. Now I've got to find a spot to store those..."

How do you make the scaffolding?

Question:

How do you tie the separated pieces together? Is there another piece I'm supposed to buy? Nothing on the website shows this add-on. Did I get a defective ladder that is missing a part of the package?

Answer:

Hello, I bought the same ladder and had the same question. I found the answer on the Vulcan website.

Answer:

Thanks for the answer, but what I was looking for was how to tie the top of the 2 separated pieces.

If I create the scaffolding bases, I will have 3 pieces of ladder. 1 complete, and 2 halves. I need to know how to connect the 2 halves so they will stand on their own.

My guess is there is some piece that fits into the top ends and ties them together.

Answer:

It does not come with a plank to create a scaffold. We have product # 61-1031 which is the plank you can use with this ladder. You can attach your own board making sure that it is strong enough to support you and your equipment. Be careful not to use partial-cut, split, or broken wood as a plank surface. The maximum scaffolding height is 4 feet.

Is this ladder made by Vulcan Ladders?

Question:

It looks like a Vulcan ladder, but I don't see the yellow VULCAN LADDERS sticker on the side of the legs, and it's rated for only 250 lbs, not 300, as Vulcan ladders are.

Answer:

Yes. It says Vulcan right on the side of the ladder.

Answer:

Mine definitely has the Vulcan Ladder sticker on it, with the manufacturer details, serial number etc. The Vulcan website says it is rated for 300 lbs, the CT one says 250. Guidelines are different in the US and Canada. Basically the ladder is rated as a Grade 1 - Industrial/Utilities which in Canada is rated for 250lbs.

Answer:

Well, I bought it, looked it over, and reseached it. It is a genuine Vulcan ladder and this particular model is rated by Vulcan Ladders for 300 lbs.

Is this ladder tested beyond it's maximum load weight? If so, by how much?

Question:

This ladder is rated for 250 lbs for it's maximum load. I weigh 285. Will this ladder fall apart if I use it? I notice that some ladders are tested to 4 times their maximum load weight.

The ladder is rated for 300lbs.

ToolMan2

Answer:

This ladder is a genuine Vulcan brand ladder and this particular model is rated for 300 lbs, but is tested for much more. I don't know how much more though, but I suspect it's at least 4 times it's rated weight. Perhaps someone else will know the answer to that part of the question. The reason people think it's rated for only 250 lbs is because the sticker on the side of it says it's rated as "Type 1" - Heavy Duty, which when researched, is 250 lbs. However, Vulcan says it's rated for 300 lbs when researched on their website.

How do you prevent the hinge locks on the 21 ft multi-ladder 061-1056-6 from binding?

Question:

In April 2009, "Homeinspector" reported a similar problem. Has this been addressed by the manufacturer? If not, why are you still selling the ladder?

Answer:

You don't.....eventually they break off. Only way to 'fix' it is to return it and buy something else.

Previous version of this ladder was sold under a differnt brand from a different supplier. The probelm has been addressed via the new supplier and Vulcan brand.
