Hello! The maximum height at which a ladder can be used depends on the type of ladder and its specific purpose. The maximum height of folding stairs depends on their length and design. Refer to manufacturer's recommendations for maximum working height. Telescopic ladders can reach significant heights, sometimes more than 5 meters.

As per the HSE UK for the ladder usage, there is no maximum height for using a ladder. However, where a ladder rises nine meters or more above its base, landing areas or rest platforms should be provided at suitable intervals. For more regulations, you can visit :" http://www.hse.gov.uk/" and look for the work at height regulations.
