Basic Tips In Using Orchard Ladders

By Shirley Evans


Ladders are used for climbing up and down an inclined or vertical set of steps and are classified into two types. The first one is rigid which can support itself or leaned into vertical surfaces like walls and are either portable or fixed permanently to a building, structure or equipment. Second is flexible made from rope or aluminum that is hanged usually on top.

Also, there are those which are made also for specific uses but using them on other purposes is not recommended although is possible. Orchard ladders are examples of these that is used by fruit pickers or landscapers to prevent falls and injuries. This is durable and portable while designed to have tripod pole and flared based in providing support on grounds that are soft or uneven.

This ladder is usually made from aluminum, wood and fiberglass, and has two types also namely straight and tripod. The former has two types too which is known as pointed top and open top and both have flared base. While the latter is more popular and has three legs where the third one is the tripod and designed to give support in several conditions.

The following are some tips in knowing when to use these ladders like for harvesting operations and pruning only. Avoid using them in firm ground because it may tip or collapse anytime, let just one person climb it and securely tie it before climbing. If you feel dizzy or tired, even just a bit, then do not step on it as you might lose balance.

The recommended shoes in climbing them are those with slip resistance and are clean but avoid leather soles because they are unsafe. Never use them when winds are strong or in storms, before using it, make sure to inspect its condition if it is good and select one suitable for the job. Never move it if you are upon it, wear tool belt or safety belt, and climb slowly without moving too much.

Common accidents in using ladders are injuries and falls with several factors contributing on these like lack of attention, its age and bad condition, footwear, and sudden movement. Accidents might even happen while just lifting, carrying and moving them. This is why workers must be trained properly.

If you need them for your fruit farm to pick fruits from your trees then search online for companies selling these. Specify the name of your location as this filter results to show only those operating nearby. Doing so excludes those from other countries, states and cities, making it easier to sift them through.

You may request for several recommendations from your associates, relatives and friends, specially those that required this before. Getting recommendations from individuals you trust is an advantage since they will tell honestly their opinions. Find out more regarding the company by performing some research on them too.

Check some review sites to know what other people think of their customer service and product quality to help you decide. Inquire for the price of their products and compare them with those from other companies. If buying online, ask when is the expected date of arrival.
