My telescopic ladder has small scratches in the black aluminum. Is this normal and does it affect the quality of the ladder?

Absolutely normal! The small scratches that you notice on your telescopic ladder are the result of the repeated extension and retraction of the moving parts during the manufacturing and testing process. Each ladder is individually checked for quality, and this repeated running in and out is a crucial part of the process. These scratches are superficial and have no effect on the structural integrity or performance of your ladder.

On the contrary, they are a sign of the quality control to which each telescopic ladder is subjected and, hopefully, of intensive use on your part. Therefore, consider the small scratches as a positive sign that your telescopic ladder has been thoroughly checked and is ready to provide you with safe and reliable use. To avoid deep scratches, clean the ladder regularly.

If the scratches still bother you too much, they can be easily touched up with a spray can. You are welcome to ask us for a suitable spray can.
