I saw a very unique ladder at a military installation where I was delivering. I believe this driver imported them from China or somewhere. He bought a number of them to sell and kept one for himself. It stretched out enough for him to get on top of a 13' load. I meant to find out where he got them, but they were rushing us to finish up so we could clear the area. These ladders folded very small yet extended out to more than 13' plus it was lightweight.

Steve I have had a 7' stepladder on my truck and have used it but it's not enough. I have another extension ladder that's about 7' long (I think it's 14' extended) that I am going to replace my stepladder with this weekend. It will be much better for getting up on those high loads.
I keep it betwen the headache rack and the cab, bungied to the headache rack. No one has stolen it. Yet. 8)
