A folding ladder is a type of ladder designed to be easily collapsible for storage and transport. It typically consists of two side rails connected by rungs, allowing it to be extended to various heights. When not in use, the ladder can be folded into a compact shape, making it convenient for homeowners and professionals alike. These ladders come in various materials, such as aluminum and fiberglass, and are available in different styles, including step ladders and extension ladders. They are commonly used for tasks like reaching high places, painting, or performing maintenance work around the home or workplace.
