Cleaning High-Rise Windows: Sectional Ladders

Video Transcript

"My name is Jason. I'm with Hi-tech Window Cleaning. And I'm going to continue on from the last segment on our sectional ladders that professional window cleaners use. This is the top section. It has a V-groove in it. So you can put it on frames. It won't slide on you. And it also comes with pads on it. This one's a little worn out, but they do have pads to protect against paint and things of that nature. So I'll have Kenyon stack the ladders here. They're really lightweight. They only weigh a few pounds apiece. And they just stack on top of each other, and they have locking grooves on them, as well. So they're very sturdy, and you can stack them as high as 45 feet. So you can go up four stories with these ladders. One thing you want to make sure you do, you have a good base up there. You're not resting on the window at all. And you also want to make sure you're far enough away from the building that the ladder is not going to tip over on you. And it also has a locking mechanism on it. It has a key. You can actually lock the sections into place so they can't pull apart on you. These are very sturdy. The weight limit is 250 pounds. And again, they're about $160 a piece. So to get a set of five, that's what I would recommend, you're looking at about $700. But that's the only way to go when you're cleaning professional windows."
