1. A step ladder comprising a tool carrier, the step ladder comprising two ladder parts comprising a top step, the two ladder parts being foldably interconnected via a hinge in a region of the top step, at least one ladder part comprising a folding step pivotally disposed about a bearing between the lateral uprights of the ladder parts, the folding step being movable in the direction of the upright of the one ladder part when the step ladder is in a collapsed position, and into a position extending toward the other ladder part parallel to the top step when the step ladder is in an opened position, the tool carrier comprising a base and at least one tool carrier wall disposed thereon and extending away from the base, wherein the tool carrier wall is enclosed by the ladder parts, wherein the tool carrier wall comprises at least one of a guide surface and a guide point for the folding step on a side facing away from the base, the at least one of the guide surface and the guide point interacts with the folding step and guides the folding step from the opened position parallel to the top step to the position in the direction of the uprights when the ladder part comprising the folding step is mounted on the tool carrier, wherein a hinged strut possessing high compressive and tensile rigidity is provided on the folding step at a distance from the bearing, rotatably connected to the oppositely disposed ladder part, and a length and bearing points of the hinged strut are dimensioned such that the ladder parts are movable from the opened position to the collapsed position and vice versa by pivoting the folding step. |
