{"product_id":"telescopic-ladder-5-1m-black","title":"Telescopic Ladder 5,1m Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn all-black finish, extending from the stiles and rungs right down to the protective sleeves: the contrast with raw silver aluminum models is striking. Looking at the image, this \u003cstrong\u003e5m black telescopic ladder\u003c\/strong\u003e presents itself as a sleek, dark, and highly compact unit, punctuated only by the crisp white safety icons printed along the frame. Thirteen heavy-duty rungs, spaced exactly 40cm apart, climb up from the sturdy base, topped with two curved black top hooks. When fully collapsed without the hooks, it measures a mere 98cm in height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe top hooks can be removed in seconds: once detached, the unit converts back into a standard straight leaning ladder; once clicked into place, they anchor securely onto pipes, roof gutters, or balcony railings up to 7cm in diameter. Each section glides smoothly into the next, locking with a definitive, reassuring click at every level via dual independent latches, while built-in rubber sleeves cushion the descent during retraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeaned against a building facade at the recommended 75° safety angle, this ladder remains rock-solid under a maximum load capacity tested up to 150kg. Its premium matte black coating blends seamlessly into urban environments and dark modern facades where traditional silver ladders would visually clash. Collapsing down to 91cm (excluding hooks), it effortlessly loads into an estate car, SUV, or commercial trade van, and stores upright in a workshop or service plant room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRemovable Top Hooks: Wall Lean or High-Level Anchoring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe true versatility of this high-spec model lies in its dual-function design. With the hooks detached, it operates as a standard straight \u003cstrong\u003eretractable ladder\u003c\/strong\u003e positioned against any flat wall. With the hooks attached, it can be securely anchored from above onto scaffolding pipes, roof edges, or balcony handrails up to 7cm in diameter—providing an absolute locked-in anchor point where flat ground or standard wall support isn't enough. It measures 98cm closed without hooks, and 108cm with hooks mounted, maintaining a highly manageable storage footprint for a massive 5-metre vertical reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Premium Black Coating Engineered for Modern Urban Facades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its high-end aesthetics, the matte black finish serves a practical purpose: it remains incredibly discreet on contemporary buildings, commercial properties, and dark exteriors. This heavy-duty 5m format is custom-tailored for exterior cladding installers, property maintenance teams, and landlords managing low-rise blocks of flats who regularly service rooflines. On the scales, it weighs a perfectly balanced 12.9kg, and its wide 40cm rung spacing significantly accelerates your ascent compared to standard short-reach 30cm models.
