Test result preview
The aluminium multifunctional ladder from Juskys is the ideal product for anyone who wants to reach high up. In our practical test, the ladder impresses visually with its simple and timeless aluminium surface. Above all, the metal is lightweight and particularly easy to handle.
Functionally, the product also impresses with its secure and smooth-running locking system, high slip resistance, stable hold and particularly high flexibility. The six built-in joints allow various configurations so that the ladder can be adapted to the working environment.
In our test, we were only unconvinced by the spanners supplied, which were very thin and therefore difficult to use. Apart from that, however, we find the multifunctional ladder to be an absolute asset at a low price.
Advantages
- Flexible use
- Safe & stable
- Low weight
- Good slip resistance
Disadvantages
- Tool supplied too thin
The test
General information

The first impression
Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The aluminium multifunctional ladder from Juskys makes a solid impression when unpacked. The ladder is delivered in a classic, brown cardboard box, which looks very sturdy and seems appropriate for the weight of the product. The folded ladder is wrapped in plastic film inside. The feet of the ladder, instructions for use and a small bag of screws are attached between the two centre elements with the help of a cable tie and another plastic film. Product protection is fully guaranteed, even if the large plastic bag could be replaced by a more sustainable alternative. The instructions for use are written in several languages , are easy to understand and provide a good overview of the product and the individual assembly steps with several diagrams.

After unpacking, we take a closer look at the individual components of the ladder. At first glance, the product impresses with its silver-coloured, slightly shimmering appearance, which is due to the use of aluminium. The design is correspondingly simple, but nevertheless appealing.
The four elements as well as the feet and joints are very well made. No unevenness or production faults can be detected. The rivets and screws also look neat and leave no doubt as to the quality of the product.
Thanks to its metal construction, the ladder also looks very sturdy, although the overall weight is relatively light . The individual parts of the ladder are firmly connected so that shaking and pulling have no effect whatsoever.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any further details on the sustainability of the product. However, due to the high-quality manufacturing and the materials used, a long service life can be assumed so that the product can be used repeatedly and sustainably.

In our practical test, the product was almost completely convincing. Our only criticism concerns the assembly of the ladder. In our test, we followed the multilingual and easy-to-understand instructions for use. Assembly is extremely simple, as only the two feet need to be attached with four screws. However, the spanners supplied by the manufacturer (10 mm) are very thin and don’t seem to fit perfectly. We therefore use our own torque socket spanners and recommend this to avoid slipping on the screw and the resulting scratches.
Once the feet have been fitted, however, we are completely convinced by the ladder. The aluminium used is comparatively light and makes it easy to transport the ladder without too much effort. The four joints can be folded down completely so that the ladder can also be stored compactly.
The product also impresses with its smooth-running and convenient locking mechanism. In our test, we found it to be very well made, reliable and safe.
Thanks to the rubber coating on the feet of the ladder, the product offers a high degree of stability. The ladder remains securely in its intended position, especially on flat surfaces such as wood and stone floors.
Finally, we test the various configuration options of the ladder for stability. We found that a high level of stability can be guaranteed both in the A-shape shown and at full length and as a platform. The ladder can also be used without restrictions on softer ground such as grass or earth.
Apart from the tools supplied, we are therefore delighted with the product and the excellent price-performance ratio.

On the Amazon platform and other sales portals, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In some cases, it is criticised for being too light . On the other hand, the elegant and functional design and the high holding power are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the elegant and functional design of the door stopper was well received by customers. However, consumer criticism of the door stopper’s weight was not justified.
Prices of up to €164.99 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €129.99 . The multifunctional ladder from Juskys is therefore currently the cheapest product with a price of €104.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
