Was really pleased when the first job was finished. The old arrangement was awkward every time.

Was on hand for the first jobs in the flat.

Was looking forward to the parcel and I'm not disappointed. I've nothing to fault with the product so far. I'd still have liked a slightly quicker delivery.

Very happy with it around the house so far. So far I haven't noticed anything negative about the build quality.

Comes along in the car

Very handy for the trips to my parents'. No more manoeuvring a long thing about.

Useful time and again

Very handy for the odd jobs around here. I haven't needed any help from customer service with it yet. There are spells in our house when the ladder's needed several times in a row, and then it sits in the cellar for a good while again. It suits that sort of use well. I can fetch it when I need it and put it away properly again afterwards. The jobs I've done so far have confirmed my good impression, so I'd choose it again. You do feel the weight when carrying it to the next room.

Unpacking was uneventful, everything looked sound. The packaging opened up neatly.

Unpacking was pleasantly straightforward this time. I like the version that was delivered.

Tried it out and it gets my approval. The size suits my purposes. I don't normally write long reviews about tools. It has to suit the job you've got in mind for it and be decent to use. Both are true for me so far. Delivery was fine too. There's not really any more I can say about it after the first few weeks.

Took a little while. Happy with the ladder. I'd order again if I had a bit of time in hand.

Handy when loading up

This is how the collapsed ladder sits in the car when I'm loading up. It gets secured afterwards. I take it along to various small jobs and find the size good for that. The weight is there, but I don't miss the bulky end of my old ladder.

They were friendly to deal with, thanks for that. As a non-expert, I could follow the explanation. I normally prefer to buy tools in a shop because there's someone I can ask. So I was a bit unsure about buying online. The reply I got here was nice and specific, and that was enough for me. The ladder has since arrived, I've tried it out and the recommendation suits what I've got planned. So buying online can work for me too. The first reply was still fairly general, the second one was then helpful.

They actually dealt with the question I'd asked.

There was no noticeable damage to the stiles.

Parcel easy to track

The tracking number came by email, worked fine.

The tracking link was helpful. No guessing whether it had even been sent yet. With another order I once went days without any information at all. That's why I check more carefully these days. This time the tracking number was there and I could see for myself what was happening with the parcel. That's really all I need when it comes to delivery. The ladder itself seems decent enough too.

The size we chose is right for what we have planned.

The size is right for my jobs.

The short shape suits our house better. I can now open the door all the way.

The short length helps in our stairwell. Carrying it up several floors is still hard work, though.

The service was friendly after delivery as well. The explanation works well for me.

The sections extend smoothly for me. The control buttons are where I can reach them easily. I had my doubts before ordering, because this has a lot more moving parts than my old ladder. After unpacking it and using it the first few times, though, I'm happy. You can keep a good eye on each step as you go. That matters more to me than any particularly big promises in a description.

The right purchase for what we need. My wife and I both get on fine with it.

The reply was something I could actually work with. Communication stayed friendly and to the point.

The reply was helpful and not pushy. That made the decision easier for me. A direct link to the model we discussed would have helped me.

The purchase went through without any trouble. The ladder I ordered was delivered correctly.

The purchase came at just the right time for the work we had on. I'm happy with how the jobs so far have gone.

The product seems solid too.

The price matches my impression so far. The first few uses have confirmed my decision.

The price in the basket was fine by me. The parcel arrived undamaged.

The parts fit together neatly.

The parts delivered look decent. The instructions were a bit crumpled in the box.

The parcel arrived in time for the weekend. No trekking to the parcel shop needed.

The new ladder isn't just used by one person here. It's handy for our little jobs.

The model I ordered arrived complete.

The main steps made sense to me. The ladder's been used several times now.

The little jobs around the house are finally getting done. I find it comfortable to handle. When you're moving it about a lot, it could be a bit lighter.

Arrived on time

The ladder reached me with no transit damage.

The ladder often comes with me when I visit family. The compact size helps when transporting it.

The ladder looks the same as in the product photos.

The ladder looks decent and is easy to operate. A good choice so far for use around the house.

The ladder itself has worked well so far.

The ladder is now part of our basic kit. We're happy with the order so far.

The ladder is now at my father's. It's already been used for the jobs that needed doing.

The ladder has found its place in the renovation work. Once I've finished for the day, the ladder goes back in the room next door. We're not doing everything at once, just one room at a time. So the tools have to be put away again in between. The ladder suits that way of working. It's now been used for several small jobs and can be stowed away again afterwards. It was a sensible purchase for our household. The pictures in the instructions were too small for me at first.

Right for the house

The ladder has already been used several times.

The ladder fits in well by our tool shelves. After use it goes back in the same spot.

The ladder came at just the right time for my to-do list. I had no trouble handling it.

The information was clear enough for me to decide. The ladder I bought suits what I've got planned. I'd have liked to see that note directly on the product page.

The information about the parcel was helpful. The parcel has now arrived complete. Looking at the tracking status, I wasn't sure whether the parcel was already on its way or still waiting to be collected. So I sent a quick message. The explanation that came back was easy to follow, and after that it was clear what the reason was. When the ladder arrived, there was nothing to fault on unpacking either.

Features

Painting a façade or trimming a tall hedge? With a stepladder, that means standing on tiptoe and hoping everything holds.

Why this ladder

  • Brushed aluminium: Rigid under load and light enough to carry up with one hand.
  • Locked-in safety: Individual rung locks with a yellow indicator, checked at a glance.
  • Retracts without pinching: Gradual closing, rung by rung.
  • EN 131 standard: Maximum load capacity 150 kg, just like the professionals’ equipment.

Who is it for? Demanding DIYers who take on outdoor jobs and want robust equipment without paying for the brand name.

Telescopic ladder 3.8 m Pro: rungs with side-mounted locking mechanisms

01Locking

Every rung individually locked.

As you extend the ladder, each rung locks into place with its own locking mechanism. You can check the yellow indicator at a glance.

How it works

To retract it, release the locking mechanism at the push of a button. The ladder retracts rung by rung, and your fingers stay clear.

Telescopic ladder 3.8 m Pro: stabiliser bar and non-slip feet

02Stability

Stability starts at the base.

The removable stabiliser bar widens the base, and the non-slip feet grip on tiles, concrete and paving.

Setting up correctly

For safe working, the ladder must stand on firm, level ground. Lean it at an angle of about 75°. The foot of the ladder is then a quarter of the resting height away from the wall.

They say it better than we do.

Right for our jobs

Went for the 3.8 m one after a good while comparing. The first few uses went well. It's only when it's back in the garage that you notice how much shorter a telescopic ladder like this is when stowed. Glad I bought it.

Complete and undamaged

3.8 m one arrived, everything there and intact. Bring on the weekend!

Easy to reach

The buttons are easy for me to reach. Took a close-up photo of the rungs because I'd wanted to know beforehand what they look like. I get on reasonably well with extending and retracting it by now.

Checked the bottom straight away. Not a mark to be seen, arrived well packed.

New ladder in the shed

The 3.8 m one has found its place. Delivery was fine and the first job with it is done. That's really all I wanted, does the job!

New ladder in the shed
Angus E.

Doesn't need a whole wall

Here it is in the cellar next to the shelving. I needed a lot more free space for the old ladder. I use the new one when I need it and can put it away tidily again afterwards. I'm happy with the build quality so far.

A good help around the house

We're nowhere near finished with the room, but the ladder has already been a help. I mostly carry on with it a bit after work. So it's good when the tools are there and I don't have to go and sort something out first. After work the ladder gets closed up again, the photo was taken just as I'd finished for the day. The 3.8 m is right for my jobs and I'm used to how it works by now. Not a bad buy so far.

Frequently asked questions

What you should know before you climb up.

Is delivery free, and is there a 5-year warranty?

Yes, delivery within the UK is free, with no minimum order value. The estimated delivery time is 3 to 5 working days. You will receive an order tracking link by email.

The ladder also comes with a 5-year warranty against manufacturing and material defects. In the event of a warranty claim, we will repair or replace your ladder. There is no need to register; simply keep your invoice. Our customer service team will help you in English by email or via live chat. This does not affect your statutory warranty rights.

What ladder length do I need for my job?

First measure the height of the spot you want to reach and the space available for setting up the ladder. This ladder is 3.80 m long when extended. That is not the height at which you stand or work: leaning at an angle of about 75°, it does not reach as high as its length, and the top rungs are not meant to be stood on.

Which length is right also depends on the work you are doing and how the ladder is set up. If in doubt, send us your measurements and a photo via live chat.

How heavy is the ladder, and how big is it when retracted?

This ladder weighs 10.8 kg and is 108 cm long when retracted. That makes it easier to store and transport. The width of 45.8 cm applies to the extended ladder. Whether it fits in your car boot, cupboard or storage space also depends on its width and depth when retracted, and on the stabiliser bar. So measure up beforehand.

Can I carry, extend and retract the ladder on my own?

At 10.8 kg, the retracted ladder can easily be carried and set up by most users on their own. How easy it is also depends on your strength and practice.

As you extend the ladder, each rung locks into place. To retract it, release the locking mechanism at the push of a button, and the ladder then retracts rung by rung. Follow the user instructions as you do so and keep your fingers out of the area between the rungs.

How stable is the ladder when fully extended?

Set up correctly, it stands securely. The removable stabiliser bar widens the base, the non-slip feet grip on firm surfaces such as tiles, concrete and paving, and each rung is locked individually.

What matters is how it is set up: firm, level ground, a leaning angle of about 75° and a resting point strong enough to take the load. Only use the ladder in the way the instructions allow. The stabiliser bar does not compensate for soft or sloping ground.

How can I tell that the ladder is locked correctly?

As you extend the ladder, each rung locks into place with its own locking mechanism. The yellow indicator shows you before you climb whether it has locked into place. Before every climb, check the locking mechanisms of all the sections in use and inspect the rungs, stiles and feet for damage.

If a locking mechanism appears faulty or you are unsure, do not use the ladder and contact our customer service team.

Do tools and clothing count towards the maximum load?

Yes. The maximum load of 150 kg applies to everything combined: your body weight, clothing, shoes, tools and any materials you take up with you. So it is not 150 kg for the person plus the tools on top. Keep within this limit every time you use the ladder.

Which standard does this model meet?

This model is declared as conforming to the EN 131 standard. EN 131 is the European standard for portable ladders. It sets out requirements and tests, for example for load capacity, stability and build quality.

The standard is no substitute for correct use: observe the maximum load of 150 kg, the safety label and the user instructions. Whether the ladder is permitted for a particular professional use depends on the regulations that apply there.

Can I return the ladder if it isn’t right for me?

Yes, if you are buying as a consumer. You have 14 days from receipt to notify us of your cancellation, and then a further 14 days to send the ladder back. Email contact@rungfield.com or use the ‘Cancel your contract’ form. You bear the cost of the return shipment.

You may examine the ladder as far as is necessary to establish its nature, characteristics and functioning. If your use goes beyond that, you may have to pay compensation for the loss in value. You will find all the details in the cancellation policy.
