About Telesteps
Telesteps makes telescopic ladders that collapse to a fraction of their extended length, which is what makes them useful to electricians and service engineers working out of a van. The ladders are made in Sweden from certified aluminium, and the brand's claim is to be the original in a category now crowded with imitations of it.
