Description

The Rubbermaid 5.5 Ft. Lightweight Aluminum Ladder is a great alternative to the heavy, hard to use traditional stepladder. The unique and innovative design features an oversized top step for extreme comfort and stability when climbing or standing. The lightweight aluminum design is deceptively durable and strong, weighing under 12-pounds but featuring an ANSI Type 1 Duty Rating (250 lb. capacity). The convenient built-in project top is perfect for holding tools, hardware and other materials while you are working. The innovative design allows for one-handed set-up and folding, making it much quicker and easier to use and move than a standard ladder. For added stability, this model comes with large non-slip non-marring feet to keep it in place and will make you feel safe and comfortable getting to those hard to reach places. The collapsed dimensions are 22.24 (W) by 4.13 (D) by 68.5 (H). Rubbermaid products aim to simplify everyday life with consumer and commercial products that touch millions of people every day where they work, live and play. The Rubbermaid 5.5 Ft. Aluminum Ladder comes with a 1-year limited warranty.

    • Safe and convenient ladder
Style: 3-Step w/ Project Tray
Love this ladder! Highly recommend! It is very lightweight yet super sturdy. It folds nice and flat, so very easy to store. The flip up tray is invaluable. I can place things on there and then climb up or down the ladder safely using both hands. The flip up tray also works well as an intermediate staging area when rearranging things on a shelf high up. The wider platform for the top step is also wonderful. I can stand on that with both feet flat, leaning on the top handle, giving me good stability. This is the safest ladder I’ve used. I can tell a lot of thought went into designing it. ... show more

Absolutely love this ladder. It’s lightweight for transporting and very sturdy. Perfect for indoor and outdoor use. We have 9ft ceilings and some higher elevations but the ladder helps make everything reachable. Easy to fold open/shut and has designated hardware to hold tools and paint cans.

    • GREAT STEP LADDER, ULTRA LIGHT WEIGHT, PLENTY STRONG TO HOLD MY 180 POUND BODY
Style: 2-Step
I live on a farm in Florida and need to constantly be doing things outside which require a little bit more elevation to reach something. I have a steel 3-step ladder I bought at a local hardware store, it is heavy and a bit unstable due to the way the rear foot is constructed. The heavy weight makes it a drag to carry it around to do small jobs. The instability is also a problem. Finally I went looking for a replacement because I have a bunch of tasks to do this winter on our 5-acre farm. This ladder arrived and I wondered if it was actually in the box, the carton was so light weight. I opened it up and found this step ladder inside. This is a seriously great step ladder. I don't know the weight capacity, if you're 200 or more pounds this is probably too light duty but for average weight people it's a God send. Ultra light in weight, sturdy, easy to fold, convenient tray for tools and parts and a super reasonable price, all factors considered. Good ladders to you! ... show more

    • The perfect three-step ladder
Style: 3-Step
I couldn't find this in my local big box stores when I wanted it. It is the best three-step ladder for household use because it is sturdy, stable, and so light. It is easy to carry upstairs. It is easy to store, meaning you can use one hand to put it back on a wall hook. It has a little area on top for tools and screws. This ladder is the one—the perfect one—for indoor or even occasional outside duties. ... show more

    • Lightweight and convenient for small jobs
Style: 2-Step
The main reason that I ordered this Rubbermaid Step Stool is that the legs have rubber "feet" that do not slide on tile or porcelain floors. Many step stools do not offer the rubber grips on the legs. It has a very slight wobble -- one leg must be slightly out of alignment with the other three legs -- and I probably would not have noticed it had I not been so vigilant to check-it-over to be sure that I like it. I didn't spend a lot of time looking for the reason for the wobble because it was very slight. I also like the way that the first step is mounted on the legs. I plan to use it in the bedroom closet when I am placing sweater boxes and other items up on the top shelf. Because it is so lightweight, I do not think that I would recommend it for really tough projects that require a solid, heavy platform for safety. ... show more

    • RMA-3 is a good step ladder with a caveat RMA-3 is a good step ladder with a caveat
Style: 3-Step
Review Image by AK
Overall, the RMA-3 step ladder is a good product, but there's one thing about it that you should be aware of before purchasing. A couple of other reviewers have mentioned this issue, but I didn't see their reviews before I made my purchase. The locking mechanism that secures the ladder in its "deployed" position is a plastic latch that dangles VERY loosely on the underside of the 3rd step (the large plastic step which you stand on). This doesn't appear to affect the safety of the ladder while using it. When the ladder is deployed, the latch does catch the metal cross bar which supports the black plastic step. Because the latch is loose instead of tight, there will be some "play" on the 3rd step when you're not standing on it. But there doesn't seem to be a danger of the latch accidentally disengaging, so it appears to do its job. Here's what I like about this ladder: * Extremely lightweight and maneuverable * Despite the loose latch, it does feel secure * Perfect height for reaching smoke alarms and light fixtures on a 9 foot ceiling * Very compact when folded up * Folds and unfolds very easily I decided to keep the ladder because I don't believe the loose latch will be a safety issue. When standing on the 3rd step, the weight of the user will be applying downward force against the step and the supporting metal crossbar below, so there is no wobbling of the step while standing on it. And despite its looseness, the latch does appear to keep the 3rd step from disengaging from the cross bar unintentionally. You must apply light upward force on the latch for it to disengage. ... show more

I've had the same step stool in my home for the past 25 years, and it was falling apart. In fact, a couple people fell off of it recently, so it really needed replacing. I am so glad I found this step stool It is sturdy and has that extra third step that makes it so much easier to reach the high shelves in my kitchen and change light bulbs and smoke detector batteries. This step stool is well made and extremely sturdy. I am not a lightweight and it holds me easily and the top step is wide and gives me room to stand comfortably. There's also the little shelf at the top where I can put small items that I need when I'm up high, like the bulbs I'm changing or small tools and hardware. I am mid 50s and don't like climbing on ladders anymore, but I feel pretty secure on this step stool. Another great thing about this step stool is that it closes with one hand (there's a little handle under the wide step) and folds flat, taking up very little space in my closet. This one is a winner, and I'm really glad I found it. Step stools have certainly come a long way in the past 25 years. ... show more
