The No. 70, also called the Library Ladder, or Elephant Ladder, has rungs instead of steps, which can make it difficult to climb. A jointed oak construction, it can fold into itself to stand compactly in a corner like a single beam of wood.Jun 29, 2008
What angle should a library ladder be?
Our library ladders are designed with a safe and comfortable climbing angle of 17 degrees (be careful of library ladders which stand at a steeper angle it really affects the comfort and safety of the person climbing the ladder). If less aisle space is available, a 12 degree climbing angle is available upon request.
How do you measure a library ladder?
To measure for your ladder, provide the vertical measurement from floor to centerline of the track. The ladder will be custom-made for your measurement while accounting for the angle necessary for climbing. Ladders are made for track heights to 157 inches. The tallest we can make is 162 inches.
