stepladders
Portable climbing frames
Stepladders is the plural of stepladder, a freestanding ladder with flat steps and a hinged frame that opens into an A-shape.
Unlike extension ladders that lean against walls, stepladders support themselves: We keep two stepladders in the garage—one for indoor work, one for outdoor.
The design allows reaching moderate heights for household tasks like changing light bulbs or painting ceilings.
