The QUIKSTEP Ladder is manufactured with cast aluminum alloy for the frame, extruded aluminum alloy for the rungs, and stainless steel connecting pins. The ladder has been tested with a 1000 pound weight suspended from the center rung with the ladder standing at a 75 degree angle. There is no permanent set to the rung and no damage to the ladder. The ladder has also been tested with 310 pounds suspended from the center rung, with the ladder in a horizontal position, on supports 6 inches in from each end of the ladder.

The QUIKSTEP Ladder is light and easy to carry. The 10 foot ladder weighs only 26 pounds.

The QUIKSTEP Ladder can be folded up to a brief case size. The 10 foot ladder folds up to 23.5 inches wide by 13 inches high by 3 inches thick. The 12 foot ladder has the same width and height with a thickness of 3.5 inches. The ladder can be easily stored in the trunk of a car, or behind the seat of a truck.

The QUIKSTEP Ladder can be unfolded and ready for use in under 5 seconds. The speed with which the ladder can be deployed is critical in emergency situations.
