TB Davies GENIA Professional Combination Ladders

The TB Davies GENIA range provides versatile access equipment for construction, maintenance and professional trade applications. Designed for use as a straight extension ladder or extended A-frame stepladder, these aluminium combination ladders offer two practical configurations from one piece of equipment.

Large box-section aluminium stiles provide strength and rigidity, while anti-splay nylon restraint straps help maintain stability in the A-frame position. Robust cast aluminium stile guides, an extra-wide horizontal stabiliser bar and oversized feet add further durability and support.

Available in four sizes, the GENIA range provides a choice of extended lengths and working heights for different professional access requirements.

GENIA Combination Ladders at a Glance

Compare the available sizes, extended lengths and approximate working heights to find the most suitable GENIA combination ladder for your job.

Approximate working heights are based on the manufacturer's stated calculations and vary according to ladder configuration. Always check the permitted climbing height, setup requirements and individual product specifications before use.

Two Practical Ladder Configurations

Professional Aluminium Construction and Stability

The TB Davies GENIA range uses large box-section aluminium stiles to provide strength and rigidity for regular professional use.

Strong anti-splay nylon restraint straps help prevent the ladder sections from spreading beyond their intended position when configured as an extended A-frame.

Robust cast aluminium stile guides provide durability during adjustment, while the extra-wide horizontal stabiliser bar helps create a stable base when the ladder is correctly positioned.

Oversized feet increase contact with suitable supporting surfaces, making GENIA a practical choice for demanding trade and maintenance applications.

Extension and Extended A-Frame Ladders for Trade Use

Combination ladders are particularly useful when different access tasks require different ladder configurations.

In its straight extension configuration, GENIA provides additional reach for suitable building maintenance, inspection and installation tasks.

When configured as an extended A-frame stepladder, it provides freestanding access where an appropriately positioned extension ladder would not be suitable.

This flexibility makes the range useful for professional users who need both extension and stepladder access without carrying two separate ladders.

Which GENIA Combination Ladder Size Should You Choose?

Choosing the correct GENIA ladder depends on your required working height, intended configuration, available space and handling requirements.

GENIA 2.5m – extends to 5.02m with an approximate extension-ladder working height of 5.67m. At 16.0kg, it is the lightest model in the range.

GENIA 3.0m – extends to 6.82m with an approximate extension-ladder working height of 7.47m and stepladder working height of 4.54m.

GENIA 3.6m – provides an extended length of 8.32m and an approximate extension-ladder working height of 8.97m.

GENIA 3.8m – the longest model, extending to 8.92m with an approximate extension-ladder working height of 9.57m.

The longer models also have greater closed lengths and weights, so consider transportation, storage and safe handling alongside the required reach.
