How much weight does the Ballymore 118R hold?

It is rated to 450 lb, which is high for a one-step ladder and suits heavier workers and tool loads.

How high does the platform put you?

The platform sits 12 inches off the floor and measures 16 inches wide by 16 inches deep.

It is steel. That gives it high tensile strength and a heavy build, but it weighs more than an aluminum ladder of the same size.

It is a rolling safety ladder, so it moves on its base to where you need it. The base is 18 inches wide by 16 inches deep.

The tread is an abrasive mat, which gives grip underfoot on a steel platform.

For low shelves and benches, yes. If you need to reach above about waist-to-chest height, a taller ladder is the better tool.
