I live in New York City in a 3rd floor apartment. What size (length) ladder would you suggest I purchase?

The description should say if it's good for 2 or 3 stories. The 3 story ladders are a little more expensive

X-IT 3 Story (23 ft) Emergency ladders should work just fine. To be on safe side, I would measure from your window sill to the sidewalk and order accordingly.

I have the 3 step ladder and the answer would be...yes. I would imagine the same would apply to the taller ladder.

Most ladders are rated to 125kg. So anything under that should be no problem.

I am 5 foot 10 and I wish I would have gone with a smaller ladder for my 12 foot ceilings, I just changed a light bulb today using it and stood on the rung below the platform. So I think for someone 5 foot and change with 13 ft ceilings you should be right on target. I hope this helps, Russell

Thank you for the reply. Its just there isnt enough room for me to get a regular ladder for them. I thought the rope would save a space and also allow them to climb. Do you suggest any other product that might be safe and also save space.

I also agree that the Gorilla is a better price bt of a comparable quality. Go here to read more of my comparison: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/8556/little_giant_versus_gorilla_ladders.html

We bought the XL ladder & it is 13 3/4" out to out (including the vertical hand rails).

I would go with the 3" at least for that...the 2" might help, but if it was buying one now for you purpose I would get the 3"...it is very firm and will give a better protection to that bar...you would think they would have invented something better for a sofabeds by now...

I don't know about that specific ladder, but my ladder is a 24ft Werner fiberglass ladder and it worked great!

With a height of 47 inches to the floor the junior ladder at 44.5 inches is too short. An incline is best to spread the stress between both ends, rather than have all the stress on the end that is hanging. The tall ladder is taller than needed for an incline. You don't want the ladder sticking out far, giving you more opportunity to trip over it. That would leave the regular ladder at 59 inches in height as the choice for you.

I replaced a 2 step ladder with this 3 step ladder and used the same nuts and bolts. Yo will be able to handle thisproject easily.

I'm pretty sure I have the largest, the 26'. It is A-frame to 11'. I also have a two-story entrance. I have been able to get to my light three different ways. One is with the ladder in A-frame and me standing on the next to top rung and stretching, barely. Another was extended all of the way and using the standoff accessory to keep it out away from the wall some, which was much easier. The final way may have been unique to me, but I reached out from the balcony with a pole and pulled the hanging light to me.Good luck. Again, I'm pretty sure this is the very best you are going to get. I'm pretty sure I have the largest, the 26'. It is A-frame to 11'. I also have a two-story entrance.

I don't know. I bought this ladder for a friend in another state, whom I've lost contact with. So, I have never actually seen the ladder. Sorry

Can't answer that question directly, it really depends on your needs, head room in the attic, landing area for the foot of the ladder, how often the attic is accessed. The Werner website can help you. Make sure you buy a 250# ladder.

We also have the 13' sq. Skywalker, and the hooks fit nicely over the frame. Be sure you choose the correct ladder height. We have the three-step, it is just right.

You would probably still need a ladder. It might work, but would be awkward. I wouldn't recommend it.

This ladder comes is several sizes. I bought the 4' ladder with a 225 Pound Duty Rating. It is perfect in size for keeping in the house for chores that need a higher advantage.
