Question 1

What is the Gazelle 8ft Aluminium Step Ladder A Type (24M) G5008 and what is it designed for?

Accepted Answer

The Gazelle 8ft Aluminium Step Ladder A Type (24M) G5008 is a lightweight, foldable A‑frame ladder made from heavy‑duty aluminium. It’s designed for tasks like gutter cleaning and window work, offering a stable platform, a 150 kg load rating, and features such as anti‑slip steps, external spreaders, a TOTALLOCK brake system, and an easy self‑locking handle. It folds compactly for convenient storage and transport.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of the G5008 (height, load, material, and safety features)?

Accepted Answer

Key specs: height around 2.4 meters (8 ft), maximum safe working load of 150 kg, construction from heavy‑duty aluminium, anti‑slip and extra‑wide steps, external spreaders for added stability, TOTALLOCK brake system, self‑locking handle for transport, ultrasonic‑weld joints for strength, and an electrogalvanized steel plate to prevent slipping.

Question 3

How does the A Type design help with gutter cleaning and window work?

Accepted Answer

The A Type design provides a wide, stable base and open stance that makes it easier to reach narrow edges, gutters, and window frames from multiple angles. This configuration reduces overreaching and enhances balance during pruning, cleaning, or painting tasks.

Question 4

How do I set up and use the G5008 safely?

Accepted Answer

To set up: place the ladder on a firm, level surface; unfold into the A‑frame; extend and lock the external spreaders; engage the TOTALLOCK brake to secure the position; climb using three points of contact and keep weight centered. After use, collapse the ladder and store it in a dry area.

Question 5

What safety features does the Gazelle G5008 include?

Accepted Answer

Safety features include anti‑slip, extra‑wide steps for secure footing, external spreaders for stable base width, a TOTALLOCK braking system to hold the ladder in place, a self‑locking handle for safe transport, and an anti‑corrosion surface for long‑term durability. It is independently tested to ANSI Type I requirements for reliability.

Question 6

How compact is the ladder when folded and how should I store it?

Accepted Answer

When folded, the ladder measures about 80 cm in length, making it easy to store in small spaces like a utility closet or behind a door. Keep it in a dry, ventilated area to prevent corrosion over time.

Question 7

Can I use the G5008 both indoors and outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The ladder is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Its aluminium construction is lightweight yet durable, and the anti‑corrosion surface helps resist weather exposure during outdoor tasks.

Question 8

What is the working height and load capacity for this ladder?

Accepted Answer

The ladder provides a safe working height of about 2.4 meters (8 ft) with a maximum load capacity of 150 kg, making it suitable for most single‑person tasks like painting, gutter work, or window cleaning.

Question 9

What maintenance steps should I follow to keep the ladder in good condition?

Accepted Answer

After use, wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh solvents on the aluminium surface, keep the ladder dry to prevent corrosion, and periodically check that the spreaders, hinges, and locking mechanisms operate smoothly. Store in a dry area away from moisture.

Question 10

How does the Gazelle 8ft G5008 compare to the Gazelle 6ft G5006 in terms of height and use cases?

Accepted Answer

The G5008 is taller at 8 ft (about 2.4 m) compared with the G5006’s 6 ft height, offering greater reach for higher tasks while maintaining a similar aluminium construction and safety features. Use the G5006 for lower access work and the G5008 for higher reach tasks such as upper wall cleaning or gutter access.

Question 11

How does the Gazelle 8ft G5008 compare to the Gazelle 10ft G5010 in terms of height and load capacity?

Accepted Answer

The G5010 provides a higher reach at 10 ft (about 3 m) compared with the G5008’s 8 ft height, making it better for tall installations or elevated tasks. Both ladders share similar aluminium construction and safety features, including a load rating around 150 kg, but choose based on the required working height.

Question 12

Do you have tips for using this ladder for gutter cleaning or window work to stay safe and efficient?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For gutter cleaning, position the ladder on firm ground and keep your body centered within the ladder’s rails; use an adjustable gutter scoop or tool from the middle of the ladder rather than leaning excessively. For window work, stand on a rung that keeps you at a comfortable height, avoid reaching too far, and keep tools within easy reach to minimize movement. Always engage the TOTALLOCK brake and maintain three points of contact while climbing.

Question 13

Which other Gazelle ladders on Fepy are good comparisons to the G5008, and where can I view them?
