About this work

Model of a ladder that can be used in three ways: as a single ladder, extended and as a schrank ladder. The extendable part, which must be extended by hand, has a wheel at the top of each leg. Two stops prevent it from sliding back. At the top of the component there are two hinges, to which the extendable part can be attached; if the bracket is then released, this results in a schrank ladder.
