Advantages

The Hailo H40 combines a traditional wooden build with construction details that improve durability and user comfort. Rounded, wide steps reduce pressure on the feet and improve stance security while working. Reinforcing brackets beneath steps and secure pin connections increase rigidity and long-term stability. UV-resistant webbing expansion protection reduces the risk of accidental overextension. The built-in bucket hook adds convenience for painting, maintenance or installation tasks.

How to use

Place the ladder on a firm, level surface and fully open both sides until the expansion protection webbing is taut and brackets are correctly seated. Climb using the center of the steps and keep three points of contact where possible. Use the bucket hook to hang tools or a small paint container at waist height to avoid overreaching. After use, fold the ladder by bringing the two sides together and secure it for transport or storage. Inspect pins, brackets and the expansion webbing regularly and do not use the ladder if any safety element is damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use the ladder on stable, dry ground and avoid using it on uneven or slippery surfaces. Do not exceed the maximum load of 150 kg and avoid lateral leaning that could compromise stability. Store the ladder in a dry place to protect the untreated wood from prolonged exposure to moisture. For elevated tasks that require additional height or specialized support, consider using a purpose-built platform or scaffolding.
