Step ladders from 8 to 12 feet, extension ladders from 20 to 28 feet, and a 20-foot adjustable multi-position ladder — all $25 a day or $100 a week. Rent the right height instead of buying a ladder you use twice.
Why Rent a Ladder Instead of Buying One
A tall ladder is a classic example of a tool that costs more to own than to use. A quality 28-foot extension ladder runs several hundred dollars, weighs enough that moving it is a two-person job, and then lives in your garage taking up wall space for the 51 weeks a year you do not need it. Renting one for $25 covers the Saturday you clean the gutters.
The other argument for renting is simply getting the right height. Most home ladder accidents come from someone standing on the top cap of a too-short ladder or leaning way out to one side because the ladder is not where it should be. Moore Rental Service prices every ladder in the lineup identically — $15 for four hours, $25 per day, $100 per week — so there is no financial reason to talk yourself into the short one.
Picking the Right Ladder and Height
Step ladders — 8, 10 and 12 feet
Self-supporting A-frames for interior work and anywhere there is nothing to lean against. Practical reach is roughly your ladder height plus four feet of standing reach, minus the top two steps you should never stand on. An 8-foot step ladder comfortably handles a standard 8- to 9-foot ceiling; a 12-foot step ladder reaches vaulted ceilings, high shelving and warehouse work.
Extension ladders — 10–20, 12–24 and 14–28 feet
Two-section ladders that lean against a structure for roof access, gutters, siding, exterior paint and second-story windows. Two things to remember: the working length is always shorter than the rated length, because the sections must overlap by several feet, and the ladder must extend at least three feet above any roof edge you intend to step onto. For a typical single-story North Texas roofline, a 12–24 foot extension ladder is the usual answer. Two-story fascia and rooflines call for the 14–28.
Adjustable multi-position ladder — 20 feet
Hinged and telescoping, it converts between an A-frame, an extension ladder, a stairwell configuration and a low scaffold base. This is the versatile one for a day of mixed tasks — and the right pick when you have to work over a staircase, where a conventional ladder simply cannot be set safely.
Ladder Safety and Transport
- Set the angle with the 4-to-1 rule. For every four feet of height to the contact point, the base moves one foot out from the wall. Too steep and it tips backward; too shallow and the base kicks out.
- Level, firm footing. Never set a ladder on soft ground, loose gravel, a flowerbed or a stack of scrap. Use the built-in feet, and level with a proper ladder leveler rather than shims.
- Three feet above the roof edge. The ladder has to extend three feet past the landing point so you have something to hold while you step off and on.
- Three points of contact, and keep your belt buckle between the rails. Reaching sideways past the rails is the single most common cause of ladder falls. Move the ladder instead.
- Never stand on the top cap or the top step of a step ladder, and never lean an A-frame against a wall.
- Watch for power lines, and use a fiberglass ladder near any electrical work — never aluminum.
- Transport: a 24- or 28-foot extension ladder overhangs almost every pickup bed. Bring ratchet straps, tie down front and back, and flag the overhang. Longer ladders are genuinely a two-person load.
When a Ladder Isn't Enough
Ladders are perfect for short-duration work at a single point. If you will be at height for hours, moving along a wall, or need both hands and a place to set materials, you want a platform instead. Moore Rental Service stocks frame scaffolding and Baker scaffold at $20 per day for stationary work, a 20-foot narrow scissor lift at $140 per day for indoor overhead work, and a 36-foot towable boom lift for anything that has to reach up and over an obstacle.

Ladder Rental — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent a ladder in Arlington, TX?
Every ladder in the Moore Rental Service lineup rents at the same rate: $15 for four hours, $25 per day, or $100 per week. That covers 8-, 10- and 12-foot step ladders, 10–20, 12–24 and 14–28 foot extension ladders, and the 20-foot adjustable multi-position ladder. Call (817) 277-1141 to confirm availability.
What size ladder do I need to reach my roof?
The ladder must extend at least three feet above the roof edge so you have something to hold while stepping on and off, and the working length of an extension ladder is shorter than its rated length because the sections overlap. For a typical single-story North Texas roofline, a 12–24 foot extension ladder is the usual choice; two-story work calls for the 14–28.
What is the correct angle to set an extension ladder?
Use the 4-to-1 rule: for every four feet of height up to the contact point, move the base one foot away from the wall. A ladder set too steep can tip backward; set too shallow, the base can kick out. Always place the feet on firm, level ground and use a ladder leveler rather than shims on uneven surfaces.
What is a multi-position ladder used for?
The 20-foot adjustable multi ladder hinges and telescopes to work as an A-frame, an extension ladder, a stairwell ladder or a low scaffold base. It is the right pick for a day of mixed tasks and is often the only safe option for working over a staircase, where a conventional ladder cannot be set properly.
Can I transport a 28-foot extension ladder in a pickup truck?
It will overhang the bed of nearly any pickup. Bring ratchet straps, tie the ladder down at both the front and the back, and flag the overhang. A 24- or 28-foot extension ladder is realistically a two-person load — bring a second set of hands for loading and unloading.
Do you rent fiberglass ladders for electrical work?
Ask when you call at (817) 277-1141 so the counter can confirm what is on the rack. Never use an aluminum ladder near energized conductors or when doing any electrical work — fiberglass is the only safe choice there, and keeping any ladder well clear of overhead power lines is essential regardless of material.
Should I rent a ladder or scaffolding for my project?
Rent a ladder for short work at a single point. If you will be at height for hours, moving along a wall, or need both hands plus somewhere to set materials, scaffolding is safer and far less tiring — and at $20 per day for a frame section it costs about the same. For indoor overhead work over a long run, a 20-foot scissor lift at $140 per day is faster still.
Where do I pick up a rented ladder?
