I've got one of these Lyte TRL 240 roof ladders:
I bought it for a DIY job that I never got round to. A relative is looking for a standard extension ladder. Would it be safe to remove the roof-specific fittings and use it like a normal ladder? Those round steps look a bit slippery for near-vertical use.
Not designed for that sort of load so strength will be an issue. Wrong rung profile. Won't be rigid. Feet will be wrong.
Sell it if you don't want it.
