folding ladder

Hinged portable steps

A folding ladder is a ladder with hinged sections that collapse for compact storage and transport.

The most common type is the stepladder, which forms an inverted V when opened and folds flat when closed.

Extension ladders and attic ladders may also fold.

Keep a folding ladder in the garage for gutter cleaning.
