Thank you for purchasing a mobile ladder stand made by Vestil
Manufacturing Corporation (“Vestil”). We design each ladder to combine
solid construction with dependability. Our ladders are durable, high-
quality products that require minimal maintenance.
MM and RF model ladder stands are rollable, meaning that they have only 2 wheels, as
shown on the front cover. You can reposition the ladder by first lifting the front legs off of the
ground and then rolling it to the desired location. In contrast, a rolling ladder has at least 1
castor or wheel located at each corner of the base. This arrangement allows a person to
reposition the ladder without having to lift the front legs off of the ground.
We produce 2 kinds of rollable mobile ladder stand in order to satisfy a broad spectrum
of applications. The MM models feature larger elevated platforms and smaller wheels than
the RF variant. However, RF ladders are also collapsible, which reduces the amount of
space necessary for storage. Notice that although collapsible, RF ladders do not fold.
Folding ladders do not require any degree of disassembly in order to reduce to smaller
configurations.
The number and surface texture of the steps are also variable. “P” variety steps have
raised, circular perforations, while “G” variants have elongated perforations with serrated
edges. Additionally, RF-EZ ladders have a reduced step slope (50º as opposed to the
standard 58º) for less strenuous climbing.
Vestil Manufacturing Corp. created this Instruction Manual to acquaint owners and users
of our rolling ladder stands with safety procedures. The manual includes directions for
proper usage and routine maintenance of your ladder stand. According to ANSI standard
A14.7-2006, section 6.15, employers are responsible for instructing employees in the
proper use of the product. Therefore, employees and any other persons, who may
foreseeably use, operate, install or perform maintenance on the ladder stand, must
read and understand the instructions before the employer may allow employees to
use the ladder. Employees should have access to the manual at all times. Personnel
should consult the directions before each use. Although Vestil strives to identify all
hazardous situations that could arise during the use of its products, this manual cannot
address every conceivable danger. The user is responsible for exercising sound judgment
at all times.
Read and understand the information contained in the manual before you use or
perform maintenance on the ladder stand. Contact Vestil for answers to all questions
that you have after reading the manual.
