Gazelle 8ft Aluminium Step Ladder A Type (24M) G5008

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you’re weighing options, consider the Gazelle 6ft Aluminium Step Ladder G5006 for a lower‑reach alternative and the Gazelle 10ft Aluminium Step Ladder G5010 for a higher reach.
