Can you actually stand on the bucket (tools) platform? Will it hold a person? Can I use this ladder to change heater filters in 10 ft ceiling?

Yes, I am a painter and stand the platform. Not sure what you are referring to as the tools platform. The black plastic tray is for tools the 1 foot square metal platform can be stood on. Hope this helps. If your height will comfortably get you from platform to ceiling without any unnecessary reaching then I believe you should be alright. If you are still unsure, get the next higher size ladder. It is a great ladder.

Yes, I stand on the platform all the time while waxing my boat. You should be able to reach 10' ceilings. This ladder is very strong, stable and lightweight I recommend it. If you are concerned about higher ceilings buy the next taller model.

No, you can't stand on the tools platform! It is a molded plastic tray. The highest step (platform) is approx. 4 feet. Actually, No 6' ladder would accommodate standing on the top top platform as it would be highly dangerous.

I don't know exactly as my ladder was never used. It is big enough to stand on and turn around. This ladder does NOT hold the weight it says it will, just so you know.

The ladder is quality, but not for anyone over 250 pounds. It is narrower than the standard wooden attic ladder, but it gets the job done. You need at least 29" of clearance in the attic to allow it to retract. Make sure there are no roof braces on the way.

No its not. I too am 6' tall and have ceilings about 12' and own an 8 ft. Cosco ladder. It is too small to give you a stable base to change lightbulbs. You can do it but it is scary. There is another German ladder company that escapes me at the moment that make a lightweight ladder similar to Cosco and it also is cheaper, you can get a model of it that will do the job. I don't remember the manufacturer's name but if you care to send me your email I will be home on the 29th of January and will check it out and email to you. PTLFA@AOL.COM

P.S. - I use this ladder "loosely" in my storage building by leaning it against shelving (not attached or hooked on) and while I don't recommend doing this, the ladder had always supported me well when standing in the center of the rungs (5'5" - 120 lbs.). It's extremely durable and well made.

Absolutely, I am just under 200 pounds and stand on mine all the time. These are just as sturdy as a standard 5 gallon bucket just shorter.

Sorry can't help. Don't have a tall enough ladder to reach it right now. Someone else installed it for me. Absolutely love it!!!

This ladder cannot stand on it's own...the only stabilization is the rubber ends on the legs. We have used this ladder off/on for over a year now and tho it seems somewhat flimsy when extended, it has done an ok job for us...my husband is 185 and holds him. We like the compactness of it when not fully extended and ease of carrying.

The airdeck workstation comes with the ladder. You cannot sit or stand on it or exceed 15 lbs.

I cannot see how! Needs to be mounted on wood stand as far as I can see. I have no idea how to mount on a bucket

Susan, I am a 5'8" woman and I just pulled out the 6 foot ladder to see if I could reach my 9 1/2' ceiling in my garage. I can reach it using this ladder but know that the standing height on the ladder is about 4 feet so how tall you are will depend if you can reach the 10 ft. ceiling.

I don't see how it could be done, plus, you want a solid contact with the floor. The saw and stand are so light, you can pick them up and move them around very easily.

i think you would have to sit it on top of something. Maybe if you went to a welder you could have him make you an extension? Mine works cool but it doesn't have to be high up and i have it on a stand. Maybe something from home depot could rig it?

I would be hesitant to put a ladder on them. It may not even fit. While they are fairly strong they are geared towards poles, towels etc.

There is no solid platform. I could not figure out how to attach the bag. The Instructions were terrible. Also, it does not come with a bucket. However it worked well holding a bucket and moving it easily.

It depends on the size of the ladder and type but adding the stabilizer does make it a little top heavy but nothing to be too concerned about. I have a 32 foot aluminum ext ladder that is a challenge to manage (by one person) without the stabilizer but I manage to move it with the stabilizer without any problems.

I have, and it seems to be safe enough, you should though, take into consideration the weight limits in the spec's if it is shown in them.This has been a really handy ladder, which I have used a lot since I purchased it.
