About Equal Multipurpose Aluminium Ladders
Equal multipurpose aluminium ladders replace multiple ladders with one. A single model converts between A-frame, straight extension, stairway scaffold, M-shape, and working platform configurations — giving contractors, electricians, painters, and facility managers the versatility to handle any job without carrying multiple ladders. Every model is EN131 certified, rated to 150kg, and built from high-grade aluminium alloy. Trusted since 2001, with free delivery across India and a 2-year warranty.
Equal's range covers 10 FT to 19 FT models, with two series — the standard multipurpose ladder with built-in wheels for easy repositioning, and the 7-in-1 ladder series with lockable independent hinges that unlock more configurations including M-shape and platform scaffold mode. For compact single-rail storage, see our telescopic ladders. For a freestanding dual-mode option, see our A-type ladders. For a full overview, visit our aluminium ladders page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multipurpose ladder?
A multipurpose ladder is a single ladder that converts between multiple configurations — A-frame, straight extension, stairway mode, and in the 7-in-1 models, M-shape and scaffold platform. It replaces the need for separate ladder types, making it ideal for contractors, electricians, and homeowners who regularly work across different tasks and surfaces.
What is the difference between the standard and 7-in-1 multipurpose ladder?
The standard multipurpose ladder has built-in wheels for easy repositioning and supports A-frame, extension, stairway, and platform configurations. The 7-in-1 model has independently lockable hinges that enable additional configurations including M-shape and more angled setups — providing seven or more distinct positions. For extended ceiling work, the 7-in-1 with platform plates is the most capable option.
Can a multipurpose ladder be used on stairs?
Yes. This is one of the key advantages of a multipurpose ladder over a standard step ladder or telescopic ladder. In stairway mode, each side of the ladder is set at a different angle, creating a stable base on uneven staircase surfaces.
Which multipurpose ladder size should I buy?
For standard home use, the 10 FT or 12 FT model covers most tasks — ceiling fans, painting, shelving, and stairway work. For commercial interiors, double-height ceilings, or exterior work, the 15 FT model is recommended. For industrial facilities and high-bay ceilings, the 19 FT model provides the reach required.
Are Equal multipurpose ladders EN131 certified?
Yes. All Equal multipurpose aluminium ladders are EN131 certified and rated to 150kg load capacity. EN131 is the European safety standard covering load capacity, hinge strength, structural stability, and rung spacing — a more rigorous standard than ISI marking.
What warranty do Equal multipurpose ladders carry?
All Equal multipurpose aluminium ladders carry a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Contact care@equal.store or call 1800-203-7688 for warranty support.
