HAILO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HAILO from 3G Electric.
What load capacity do HAILO platform stepladders carry?
The HAILO platform stepladders supplied by 3G Electric are rated to a 330 lb load capacity. This applies across the range of aluminum platform stepladders, including the 5 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 9 ft models. The load rating is a key specification for industrial and commercial use, as it determines the maximum weight the ladder can support, including the user and any tools or materials placed on the platform or in the plastic top storage. When selecting a ladder, confirm that the load capacity meets the requirements of the task and any site-specific safety regulations.
What is the difference between the HAILO steel and aluminum folding step stools?
HAILO offers two-step folding step stools in both steel and aluminum. The steel model (SKU 6DHF2) has a white finish, an overall height of 3.6 ft, and a standing height of 18.8 in. The aluminum model (SKU 6DHF0) has a silver finish, an overall height of 2.5 ft, and the same 18.8 in standing height. Both support up to 330 lb. The choice between them depends on factors such as weight, finish preference, and storage space. The aluminum version is lighter, while the steel version may be preferred for certain environments. Both are folding designs for easy transport and storage.
What is the HAILO ladder platform used for?
The HAILO ladder platform (MPN 9940-001) is an aluminum accessory designed to provide a stable standing surface on compatible stepladders. It is finished in silver and does not include handrails. This platform is used in maintenance, construction, and warehousing tasks where a secure elevated work area is needed. It allows the user to stand at a higher level than the ladder steps alone, improving reach and comfort for tasks such as overhead work, painting, or installation. The platform is intended for use with HAILO stepladders that accept this accessory. Verify compatibility with the specific ladder model before use.
What are the specifications of the HAILO foldable telescoping scaffold and tower system?
The HAILO foldable telescoping scaffold and tower system (MPN 9459-501) is an aluminum scaffold with a fixed working height of 7.6 ft. The platform measures 23.6 in x 13.4 in and supports up to 331 lb. It features a foldable telescoping design for transport and setup, making it suitable for elevated maintenance tasks. This model is a fixed-height unit, meaning the working height is not adjustable. It is used in applications where a stable elevated platform is required, such as maintenance, installation, or inspection work. The aluminum construction keeps the unit manageable for one-person transport and setup.
Which HAILO platform stepladder sizes are available from 3G Electric?
3G Electric supplies HAILO platform stepladders in several sizes, including 5 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 9 ft ladder sizes. The 5 ft model (SKU 20JJ79) weighs 13 lb, the 6 ft model (SKU 20JJ80) weighs 16 lb, the 8 ft model (SKU 60TR62) weighs 17 lb, and the 9 ft model (SKU 60TR63) weighs 23 lb. All models have a 330 lb load capacity and include a plastic top with storage. The choice of size depends on the required working height and the available storage space. Larger sizes provide greater reach but weigh more, which may affect portability.
What materials are used in HAILO access equipment?
HAILO access equipment supplied by 3G Electric primarily uses aluminum for ladders, platforms, and scaffolds, with some step stools available in steel. Aluminum is used for its low weight and corrosion resistance, which is beneficial for transport and use in various environments. The platform stepladders have aluminum frames and plastic tops with storage. The folding step stools come in either steel with a white finish or aluminum with a silver finish. The ladder platform and telescoping scaffold are also aluminum. These material choices affect the weight, durability, and maintenance requirements of the equipment.
