Ladders may look simple, but improper use can lead to serious accidents. Especially in workplaces, thousands of fall incidents each year are ladder-related. Here are the 7 most common ladder mistakes and how Nikces Ladder helps prevent them:

1. Using on Uneven Surfaces
When ladders are placed on slippery, sloped, or unstable ground, the risk of tipping increases.
✅ Nikces Ladders ensure perfect grip with their non-slip feet.

2. Not Fully Opening the Ladder
When folding models are not fully opened, the locking system does not engage, creating a serious risk.
✅ Nikces double-sided models feature an automatic locking mechanism for safe use.

3. Overloading the Ladder
Exceeding the weight capacity increases the risk of breakage and falls.
✅ All Nikces models are manufactured with a load capacity of over 150 kg.

4. Stepping Incorrectly on the Rungs
Stepping only on the edge of small rungs may cause loss of balance.
✅ Nikces Ladders provide ergonomic use with wide, non-slip rungs.

5. Insufficient Lighting Conditions
In dark or shadowy areas, the rungs may not be visible, leading to falls.
🔦 Always use in well-lit environments, or provide portable lighting if needed.

6. Using the Ladder as a Storage Rack
Stacking heavy tools, materials, or boxes on the ladder endangers both the user and the ladder.
⚠️ A ladder is designed only for temporary access.

7. Neglecting Maintenance
Squeaky hinges or cracked rungs can turn into serious hazards over time.
🔧 Nikces Ladders are built with durable aluminum bodies for long-lasting use; however, regular checks are recommended.

🎯 Conclusion
Work safety starts with equipment. The right material, proper usage, and awareness prevent accidents.
Nikces Ladder is with you every step of the way with its high standards.
