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.

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!!!

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

You can use the top of this ladder as a platform but the actual hight is about 4 1/2 ft from the floor.

The handle clearance from the top of the bucket is 4" and has finger grip indentation. The way the handles snap in on the sides may not support weight and the bucket would need to be kept evenly weighted when hung.

Should be ok to use while on a ladder. It is very lightweight and can be used with one hand.

This is my 1st Little Giant and it spans the range between cheaper "standard" 6 and 8 footers. But it is SO much more stable, I would sure trust it more than the others. I have indeed stood on the top of regular step ladders but they too recommend against that. True, with this particular Little Giant it won't even allow you to do that so has less reach than the top of an 8-footer. If that affects your choice...you probably should be buying a 10 or 12 foot stepladder!

I'm a bit over 6 feet tall and because the scope is heavy I modified a little fat wheel garden wagon to haul it from the storage shed to the advantageous viewing spots in the yard. So that being said, adding 16 inches to the base means that I can comfortably use this setup standing. If you are going to use it right off the ground, then you will likely need a stool to sit on or a stand for the scope.

Depending on how high it is hanging and how tall of a person you are, yes you would need a ladder. So far I just use my remote that came with it. Cathy

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.

This could be a little iffy. You would have to get on the second rung from the top, so be sure you have someone in the room helping. The ladder itself, however, is very sturdy.

I haven't used it yet, so i cant say for sure. But there is another one on amazon same ladder same price but it includes the protective mat(at time of this posting) So I'm going to give it a try. I find it hard to believe the ladder is designed to support up to 300# of weight only if it's supported by a pool. That would be silly especially considering i hear a lot of people saying it's to tall for their pools even when adjusted(so it wouldnt be putting the weight on the side of the pool anyway if it cant even touch the edge)We will see.

I'm not sure how high mine is right now, but I ended up extending the legs with tubing. My advise is to get the longer ladder and cut it shorter if necessary.

I am 250+ lb and I had no issue with standing on the platform. The platform is the only step supported by both sides of the ladder.

11/22/33. I just use the first 2 as I use it to water hanging plants, more like a step stool. I would feel to uncomfortable standing on the platform. If I want to go higher I use ladders. Chuck

Eljay,The feet have rubber bottoms and are adjustable in height to accomodate the height of your ceiling. We had to drill new holes in one of the feet because our garage floor is on an angle. My ladder assembly measured just over 53 9/16 so for you it would be a tight fit but a good carpenter should be able to remedy that.

I am 5 foot 10 and I wish I would have gone with a smaller ladder for my 12 foot ceilings, I just changed a light bulb today using it and stood on the rung below the platform. So I think for someone 5 foot and change with 13 ft ceilings you should be right on target. I hope this helps, Russell
