Just as any person who has ever made a ladder accident compensation claim will be glad of the UK's no win, no fee litigation system, so too will any person who has ever even tentatively made his or her way up a ladder in order to work at height understand why it is important that UK workers have the protection of health and safety law when it comes to working with ladders. But spare a thought for those people who work atop some of the world's tallest ladders.
Working with the tallest ladders in the world is unlikely to be a good idea for any person who begins to feel a bit giddy after reaching the summit of a standard height ladder or stepladder.
This is because the tallest ladders in the world can reach heights in excess of 100 metres – certainly more than is necessary for fixing a light bulb or retrieving something from the top shelf of a warehouse storeroom.
World's tallest orchard ladder
Agricultural accidents are a serious concern in the UK, where farming has one of the worst health and safety records of all sectors. Extra caution would certainly need to be taken at any farm that used the world's tallest orchard ladder, which, although not as high as some of the other contenders, reaches an impressive 9.2 metres.
World's tallest tractor drawn ladders
Frequently used by fire rescue services, TDAs (tractor drawn ladders), can reach incredible heights. Some of the tallest examples are in the United States and reach in excess of 31 metres. The tallest one in the UK is in London and can be elongated to a giddying 30 metres.
World's tallest hydraulic ladders
Used to tackle fires and other emergency situations in skyscrapers across the world, hydraulic ladders represent the cutting edge in ladder technology. Although most frequently seen in the US, these ladders, which can stretch to a staggering 110 metres, are increasingly common in the booming high-rise cities of China.
Ladders of this height are also sometimes used in the marine industry for a variety of purposes.
