Tired of bulky ladders?
5 m with hooks reaches the second floor and holds its place over the edge. At 96 cm folded it stores standing in a corner of the garage.
For the homeowner maintaining a two-storey house who wants the top of the ladder held rather than balanced.

Tracked and insured delivery to your door.
All our ladders are rated for a maximum load of 150 kg, and come with a 2-year guarantee covering any manufacturing or material defect.
The guarantee covers the parts that carry you: the rung locking mechanisms, the stiles and rungs, the rivets, pins and clips, and the feet and hooks.
Our support team answers you by email, for a simple and quick process.
If a defect appears in normal use, we undertake to repair or replace your ladder, no argument.
This guarantee is in addition to your legal rights and does not affect them.
The same ladder goes out to people who climb for a living and to people clearing their own gutters. The folded height is what decides whether it is any use to you, so we print it.
Why StowLadder
That is the total: you, your clothes, your boots and whatever you carry up. A 95 kg man with a full toolbelt is still well inside it.
It comes down one section at a time and goes in the boot, under the stairs or behind the seats. The folded height is printed on every model, so you can measure before you order.
Put it up at home, extend it, stand on it. If it is not the ladder you wanted, send it back — that is longer than the law asks of us.
No minimum order and no surcharge for the long parcel. The price on the page is the price you pay.
What you get
01
Folded, it is 96 cm long and 48 cm wide. It goes under a bed, on a garage shelf, in a car boot.
A ladder spends most of the year not being climbed. If it does not fit somewhere out of the way, it lives in the way.
Each section slides down into the one below it, so 5 m collapses to the height of the bottom section. We print that number on every page — almost nobody else does.
02
Two clips lock each rung as it comes up. You hear the click, you climb.
The lock is the only part standing between you and the ground. Folding under load is the fear that stops people buying telescopic at all.
Coming down, you release the clips one section at a time. Nothing drops on its own, and the descent stays in your hands.
03
Thick-walled alloy. It weighs what a ladder rated for 150 kg should weigh.
Light feels good in the shop and bad on the wall. Thin tubing is how a cheap ladder gets its price down.
The weight and the load are both printed on this page. Compare them with anything sold lighter at the same length — the difference is metal.
A question about height, load, or whether a length fits your job? You get a person, not a bot.
Before you climb
Straight answers, including the ones that do not flatter us.
Each section locks as it reaches its stop. Where the manufacturer has confirmed the exact mechanism, it is written out in the specification table on this page.
The habit worth keeping whatever ladder you own: once it is up and leaning, shake it hard from the ground before you put a foot on it.
This ladder is rated for 150 kg. That is the total it carries: you, your clothes, your boots, your tools and whatever you take up with you. Not just your body weight.
Which leaves room. A 95 kg person with a full tool belt is still well inside 150 kg.
The figure in the specification table is the manufacturer's rating, and it is the same 150 kg across the range.
It is, on two conditions that apply to any ladder. Extend the sections you are using all the way — never stop halfway on a section that has not locked. And set the angle at roughly 75 degrees: the foot stands out from the wall about a quarter of the height it reaches.
On soft, sloping or uneven ground that angle matters more than anything else about the ladder.
Two years, on the parts that carry you: the rung locking mechanisms, the stiles and rungs, the rivets, pins and clips, and the feet and hooks. If one of them fails in normal use, we repair or replace the ladder.
It does not cover normal wear, impact damage, or a ladder used beyond its rated load. Nothing there is unusual — it is what any guarantee on a climbing product covers.
This is on top of your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and does not replace them.
No. There is nothing to fill in and no form to send back.
Your order confirmation is the proof of purchase. Keep it, that is all.
Send it back within 30 days and we refund you. Returns are free: the pre-paid label is in the packaging, and you do not have to give a reason.
That covers the wrong length as much as a change of mind. A ladder that turns out too short is exactly the case this is for — and it is a common one, because most sellers never print the folded height or the weight.
To get it right first time: the height guide on this site matches the job to the length, every model page prints its folded height, its weight and its load, and if you are still between two sizes you can ask us before ordering.
WhatsApp. The button is on every product page, and further down this one. A person reads it and answers — not a bot, not a ticket number.
Ask before you order too: which length suits the job, whether it fits your boot, what the folded height really means for your storage.
The folded height is printed on every product page in centimetres, right next to the weight. Measure your boot with the seats down and compare the two numbers before you order.
It is the figure most sellers leave out, and it is the one that decides whether the ladder is any use to you.
Aluminium. You will see telescopic ladders advertised as stainless steel — sometimes by the same shop selling the same ladder both ways, at two different prices.
A stainless steel ladder of this length would weigh roughly three times as much. The weight printed on this page is the proof. Compare it to anything sold to you as steel.
This is the real complaint about telescopic ladders, and almost nobody selling them will tell you. Bring the ladder down one section at a time, with your hands on the outside of the stiles — never wrapped around a rung.
Done that way it is a non-issue. Done in a hurry, it is a trapped finger.
As a rule you can work about a metre above the highest rung you stand on. A 3.8 m ladder reaches a single-storey gutter comfortably; a two-storey gutter needs 5 m or more.
There is a height guide on this site that matches the job to the length. If you are between two sizes, take the longer one — a ladder that is too short gets used badly.
