The weight ratings for A-frame ladders, such as 100kg, 120kg, 150kg, and 200kg, refer to their maximum load capacity. This includes the weight of the user plus any tools or materials they might carry while using the ladder. Here’s why these ratings are important:

1. Safety : Different weight ratings ensure that users select a ladder that can safely support their weight and any additional loads, reducing the risk of accidents or ladder failure.

2. Material Strength : Higher weight ratings often indicate a more robust construction or thicker materials. Ladders with higher ratings are designed to withstand greater stress and provide stability.

3. Intended Use : Ladders with higher weight capacities are often intended for more demanding tasks or commercial use, where heavier loads may be common.

4. Regulatory Compliance : Many countries have standards and regulations for ladder safety, including load capacities, which manufacturers must adhere to.

Choosing the right weight rating for your needs ensures safety and optimal performance while using the ladder.
