Can’t you buy the same ladder for €80?

In short: it’s not the same ladder!
Different models often look very similar on the outside, but there are major differences in quality that become apparent when using them.

• Length of the individual telescopic elements:
  When extended, the stiles overlap inside the ladder. Our ladder has a stile length of 520 mm. With a step height of 300 mm, the stiles therefore overlap by 220 mm. Cheaper ladders start at 120 mm overlap.
  
  The up to 175% higher overlap is clearly noticeable in the stability when using the ladder. A picture is worth a thousand words:
• Tested in accordance with European standard for telescopic ladders EN131-6
  Many ladder manufacturers advertise with a TÜV seal or standard conformity. If you ask more closely, however, this very often results in no reliable comment, or the TÜV certification is not for the whole ladder as you would think, but only a small part of it, such as the packaging process is certified.
  We do not want to deceive our customers, but our ladder has been tested and certified by an independent testing institute (SGS)!
• Softclose system:
  The ladder retracts with air suspension, which significantly reduces the risk of injury.
• Significantly larger spar diameter:
  Like the stile length, this contributes to the stability of the ladder. Both in bending and in stability when twisted. Our ladders have a stile diameter of 36 mm for the top step, compared to 28 mm for cheaper ladders. Of course, this also makes all subsequent spars thicker/sturdier.
• High-quality black powder coating
  The black ladders are a real eye-catcher in terms of design and match the Leitertec system! In addition, the coating protects the aluminum and the ladder cannot rust.
• Rivets on each step
• Traverse at > 3 m ladders
  From 3 m, a stand extension is mandatory, which we offer with our 3.8 m model.
• Quality inspection
  Every single ladder is individually tested and approved by us.
• Release for trade
  All of the above measures mean that the ladder is approved for both private and commercial use. This underlines once again that we do not want to compromise on quality.

We offer a very high quality product, for which the above points are necessary, but which make the ladder more expensive due to more material/processes/tests. We stand behind our product and are proud to be able to offer it to you!
