Duty ratings were setup to provide some consistency and standards governing the safe construction, design, testing, care and use of portable ladders of various types and styles.

Ladder styles include portable stepladders, step stools, extension ladders, trestle ladders, sectional ladders, combination ladders, single ladders, platform ladders, and articulating ladders.

Each duty rating relates to a correlating maximum weight capacity (or load capacity) the ladder can safely carry. The maximum weight or load is the combination of several factors:

• Your weight, plus
• Weight of clothing and protective gear you’re wearing, plus
• Weight of tools and supplies being used and stored on the ladder

Safety standards require a Duty Rating sticker to be placed on the side of every ladder. There is no correlation between the ladder length and weight capacity. So do not assume that a ladder with longer reach has a higher weight capacity.

Duty Ratings Explained

There are five categories of ladder Duty Ratings:

Type l
A Type I ladder is the most widely used for professional services like that of contractors, public utilities, and construction workers. Regardless of the material construction of the ladder, Type 1 ladders are built in lengths from 3 to 20 feet. This rating is broken down into three subcategories:

• Type 1 step ladders are built for occupant loads up to 250 lbs.
• Type1A step ladders are built for occupant loads up to 300 lbs.
• Type1AA step ladders are built for occupant loads up to 375 lbs.

Type II
Type 11 ladders also run in lengths of 3 to 20 feet long. They are used in more commercial applications like painters, interior decorators, maintenance workers, and electricians. They have a weight maximum of 225 lbs. Type II ladders are manufactured in wood, fiberglass, and aluminum and are commonly used for medium-duty use.

Type III
Type III ladders are most typically household ladders. They only handle a load capacity of 200 lbs and are primarily used for light-duty use. These ladders are typically manufactured in lengths between 3 to 6 feet.

Here is a quick recap of duty ratings and load capacities:

Click to see full answer.

For example, an industrial duty step ladder can range in height from 3 to 20 feet. These are 1AA and 1A and hold 375 or 300 pounds. Medium duty ladders can support 225 pounds and are Type II. These are limited in height to 12 feet while light duty ladders are limited to 3 to 6 feet and can support 200 pounds.

Also Know, what are ladder load capacity ratings based on? Remember that the Duty Rating is the maximum safe load capacity of the ladder. Hence, Duty Ratings are described in terms of pounds, such as a 300 lbs. Duty-Rated Type IA ladder which is designed for heavy industrial use where the total weight on the ladder must not exceed 300 pounds.

Beside this, what do ladder weight ratings mean?

The Duty Rating is defined as the maximum safe load capacity of the ladder. A person's fully clothed weight plus the weight of any tools and materials that are carried onto the ladder must be less than the duty rating. the rating is the max weight the ladder is designed to hold.
