Ladders are important working devices in industry and craft as well as in the private field. Their "technical development" is placed in question by the high number of in part serious accidents during daily use. The details described in 6 points make the light-metal leaning ladder safer in its use. The slip coating with rubber tube has a positive effect to the sides and also perpendicularly to the ladders. The hard rubber round feet are antislip and are suitable for any pitch. The support feet are trapezoidal sheets, onto which T-profiles are welded at an obtuse angle of approximately 100 DEG . The webs of the T-profiles are covered with rubber tube and glued like the ladder uprights and ladder rungs. The coating with rubber tube has the effect that delicate floors cannot be damaged or the T-irons cannot penetrate the earth in the case of soft ground. The ladder leaning surfaces reduce the lateral slip and damage to surfaces.
