Cotterman 10-Step Steel Rolling Ladder vs Global Industrial 10-Step Rolling Ladder

Both are 10-step steel rolling ladders with a 100 in platform, 24 in step width, 30 in handrails and a 59 degree climb, so they suit the same warehouse and stockroom work. The Global Industrial B3202260 carries more weight, 550 lb against 450 lb, and adds a barrier chain, dust covers on the casters and a knocked-down build. The Cotterman is the heavier, simpler unit at 179 lb with expanded metal treads and a foot-activated step lock. Buy the Global Industrial for the higher capacity and the chain; buy the Cotterman if expanded metal treads and a bolted-together frame matter more to you.

• Choose the Cotterman if you want expanded metal treads that shed debris and a welded steel frame with a foot-activated step lock.
• Choose the Global Industrial B3202260 if you need a 550 lb capacity, a barrier chain and casters with dust covers.
