Thank you for purchasing a mobile ladder stand made by Vestil
Manufacturing Corporation (“Vestil”). We design each ladder to
combine solid construction with mobility. Our ladders are
durable, high-quality products that require minimal maintenance.
MM and RF model ladder stands are rollable, meaning that they have only 2
wheels, as shown on the front cover. You can reposition the ladder by first lifting the
front legs off of the ground and then rolling it to the desired location. In contrast, a
rolling ladder has at least 1 castor or wheel located at each corner of the base. This
arrangement allows a person to reposition the ladder without having to lift the front
legs off of the ground.
We produce 2 kinds of rollable mobile ladder stand in order to satisfy a broad
spectrum of applications. The MM models feature larger elevated platforms and
smaller wheels than the RF variant. However, RF ladders are also collapsible,
which reduces the amount of space necessary for storage. Notice that although
collapsible, RF ladders do not fold. Folding ladders do not require any degree of
disassembly in order to reduce to smaller configurations.
The number and surface texture of the steps are also variable. “P” variety steps
have raised, circular perforations, while “G” variants have elongated perforations
with serrated edges. Additionally, RF-EZ ladders have a reduced step slope (50º as
opposed to the standard 58º) for less strenuous climbing.
Vestil Manufacturing Corp. created this Instruction Manual to acquaint owners
and users of our rolling ladder stands with safety procedures. The manual includes
directions for proper usage and routine maintenance of your ladder stand.
