The extension ladder transport trolley is designed to reduce the physical effort needed to move a ladder from a service vehicle to the work site.
Several versions are available to suit the ladder types used by electrical network maintenance teams.
The trolley is folding and articulated, with two wheels and a ladder locking system. It is transported separately and can be attached to or removed from the ladder easily, without tools.
The pneumatic wheels are 260mm in diameter and approximately 60mm wide.
To attach the trolley, one worker lifts the upper end of the ladder from the ground while another fits the trolley. The procedure takes approximately 30 seconds: pass the trolley arms between two rungs, hook the articulated arms onto the upper rung, open the arms, lower the wheels onto the ground and lock the system onto the ladder. The ladder can then be moved easily by one worker, pushing or pulling from one end.
The trolley weighs 4,5 kg.
