This is heavier than I thought it would be and God only knows why they didn't incorporate some type of integral carrying strap into this bad boy. Its a great, great ladder for what I do--home inspections--and has real value for high rise condos or other needs for a small A frame. Good engineering and felt very sturdy underfoot. In general its a good buy but be prepared to create your own carrying mechanism.
I purchased mine for using in my RV. I wanted something that would allow allow me acces to the roof and the top of the slides to clear stick etc.
This ladder folds up very small and it's really light weight. It can easily be store in a front storage area, I mounted a 5inch PVC fence post to my RV and store it in there.
For me it's perfect, I love this ladder and would buy it again.
