The Longest Ladder of all Time:

The longest ladder in the world was recorded at 135 feet, or 41.16 meters long with 120 rungs. The world’ longest ladder was completed in April of 2005. It was constructed by the Handwerks Museum in Austria.

Longest Climbed Distances:

The farthest distance climbed by a team on a ladder was over an eight-hour period, in which several members of the Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service succeeded in climbing over 26 miles. The record was established on July 13, 2012.

The farthest distance climbed by a male on a ladder is 8.23 miles. Keith Sanders climbed for 24 hours between the days of July 11th and 12th in 2014. The record was completed in the UK at the Salisbury Fire Station in Wiltshire.

Iya Traore climbed backwards on a ladder while controlling a football with his feet up 75 rungs. This record was set on July 20, 2011. Traore used a 25-meter, fire brigade ladder to complete this record.

The problem with shopping for ladders at home improvement stores such as Home Depot and Lowe’s is that they only provide the most basic selections. They have ladders for basic projects, such as getting into the attic, changing the light bulbs, and clearing the gutters. Not everyone uses their ladder for just the basics, and the stock 12-foot aluminum ladder just won’t do for those individuals that require tall, extendable, and extremely durable ladders for their line of work.

For example, would you want the fire fighter climbing the side of your house to reach the third story window where your five year old is trapped using a 30 dollar ladder from Wal-Mart? Or the painter meticulously finishing the window treatments to cut the corners, because his stock, aluminum ladder is a bit rickety?

Creech Ladder Center has the largest available ladder inventory in Nashville and the surround areas! They offer various colored fiberglass ladders ranging from 200 up to 375 pounds. In addition, Creech Ladder Center has specialty ladders for scaffolding, as well as a plethora of truck and van equipment for attaching and transporting any ladder, not matter the shape, size, or weight.


Creech Ladder Center has been operating as a family owned business since 1987. This company prides themselves on their professional personal service and punctual delivery. They will ship to almost any state in the country. In addition, to their superior ladder selection, you can also find van racks, van shelving, ladder levelers, wall standoffs, and much more. Visit Creech Ladder Center’s website for more information on their ladder inventory. 

Love Your Ladder

On any ordinary day it’s highly unlikely that you consider the importance of a good, sturdy ladder and the countless tasks it can help you complete. However, whether you’re husband is a stay at home dad or the project manager of a construction company every man deserves to have a strong, durable stepping stool standing neatly in his corner of the garage. However, Lowe’s and Home Depot just don’t quite carry a selection wide enough to satisfy the countless projects and occupations that require a safe, strong ladder.

For example, if you husband is the proud, do-it-yourself handy man type that wants to do everything himself a versatile, extending and extremely safe ladder is critical. The standard 8-foot aluminum ladder might be appropriate fro changing the light bulbs in the kitchen ceiling fan, but what about the chandelier bulbs in the living room with those beautiful 12-foot ceilings? Or when he decides to save some money and clean the gutters himself this year? Wouldn’t it be so much easier if the ladder were a few feet taller where he could stand safely on a step rather than leaning shakily on the top landing? No one wants to see Dad take a nasty tumble reaching for that last leaf between him and a perfectly clear gutter!   

Or if your hard working husband is the heroic firefighter that always goes back to the burning building to save the sobbing seven year old’s puppy; wouldn’t you rather him have the 20-foot extendable ladder that reaches right up to the third floor apartment window where the puppy is howling rather than running up all those stairs and battling thick, suffocating clouds of smoke?

Creech Ladders, which prides itself on personal service, carries a wide variety of top-of-the-line manufacturer ladders and accessories. Creech stocks any and everything you could possibly need, with ladders ranging from $90 to $1,200 you’ll certainly find the perfect equipment for your next DYI or professional project.
