Abstract:

A ladder-like stilt, designed to be used in pairs, particularly for ceiling work such as sheetrocking as shown. Two pairs of side rails are joined at a conventional head step area. The area of the otherwise conventional head step is extended by the employment of an elongated head step platform to which a boot is attached for accepting the user's foot. The downwardly projection of the head step platform falls within the footing defined by the distal ends of the side rails, thus providing a stable platform for standing, when the stilts are used in pairs. The boot allows the user to walk on the stilts and perform elevated work, while being able to quickly dismount and climb down the steps.
