A telescopically extendable and collapsible ladder assembly having at least three ladder sections, each of said ladder sections having two tubular stile members arranged parallel to each other and interconnected at one end by a ladder rung to form a U-shaped ladder section; the stile members of each ladder section being telescopically inserted into the stile members of an adjacent ladder section. The ladder assembly further comprises automatic latch mechanisms for locking the telescopically inserted stile members relative to one another when the ladder sections are extended, the latch mechanisms being associated with actuators for unlocking the stile members in order to allow for collapsing of the ladder assembly. |
