I had tripod orchard ladders whose rails flare out at the bottom. Does the foot of the extension piece swivel enough to sit flat with such "flaring"?

To be more specific, I see no reason these would not work with a flared ladder.

Yes, these sit flat on the ground at just about any ladder angle that you would stand at a safe angle, and maybe more, it's a ball and socket so yes they sit flat no matter, and really worth while I might add.

The footing only swivels 30-40 degrees. As long as the last 12-18 in. of the leg is straight, not curved, you should have no problem

I have not deployed the ladder, however I have looked at it. It does not appear to unroll, but expand like a accordion. I do not think it would cause a problem. Hope this helped.

Hi, David:I actually have no idea. I would imagine that it would but I have never had an articulating ladder in my hands or within 5 miles of me (that I know of). You could get one of these and try it and, if not, have a great stabilizer for other extension ladders.

I would not suggest using on a rail that is not flat at the top. It may be unstable and tip.

Sorry to say, no. It has spring clips (for want of a better term) that have to be set for each section on both sides, as the ladder is being extended. Think that's why it failed for that one guy. In a pinch you might be able to do this, but it would mean being able to reach down two feet and that doesn't take into account being able to open the hatch door which is designed to be locked from below.

It shouldnt. It's 3 legs keep it from tipping over. Overall it is fairly flimsy when pulling up on the shoots and slides...but my 10 month old son has not been able to destroy this toy yet lol And he has tried!

I don't know which stand you have, if you are talking about proline stand with tripod boom you good to go, because that's the one that I'm using with it, and I still don't have any issue so far...but if you have the round base stand I don't think it will hold it study. I hope this help...

If your deck railing is strong enough, the x-it ladder will have no issues. But give it a try from the ground to know for sure!

Yes good idea , especially for heavier folks. I attached to dock and as the bottom end of laser was close to bottom , I just added a couple of flat 6X10x2 inch landscaping bricks from Home Depot to fill gap and reduce stress on upper portion of ladder. All in all quite sturdy , but would recommend bracing bottom of ladder if not touching bottom.

Good question! I have the same issue. The problem is my deck railing is not flat ... it has a decorative "hump" that makes it 2.5" tall ... Based on the answers you got, I think this will work for me too! Thanks!

Mine came with enough tension such that it would not swivel unless tapped (with no socket attached) or moved by hand. There is a giant hex head bolt going through the swivel that you could probably tighten to adjust tension.

Yes, The large platform at the third level is made to stand on comfortably. the narrow item on the 4th level is a tool tray which probably couldn't support more than 20 pounds and would be very unstable. There is a label hidden under the bottom step that claims the ladder has a "Working load of 225 lbs".

No, it does not. If I didn't JB Weld it to the stock I would have returned it and gotten one with a tilt/swivel.

Not sure I used it a couple of times so far and I like it. I used it as an extension and a step ladder. I love it. The only thing that happened to me was when I was using it as an extension ladder I went to let a rung down and smashed my finger by accident. I was not paying attention to how the rung slide in when I pulled both release mechanisms.

Yes it has two feet on each end to prop it at an angle. Or you can lay it flat.

It doesn't open flat but the legs fold in flat under where the grate is. So it would probably work if you tied the legs with some wire and provided your fire ring was 24" or less.

I don't have a multi ladder but my guess is that the u-bolts used to attach the stabilizer may be too small to go around the bracing of the multi ladder. The u-bolt attachments just barely fit over a standard extension ladder.
