A field worker cannot find a collapsible A-frame ladder taller than 11 feet that fits in a truck with small cargo space for multi-site contracts with 16-foot drop ceilings.

Ladder manufacturers use misleading 'reach height' marketing instead of clear physical dimensions, and there is no way to filter by actual collapsed/closed height or fully extended height for A-frame ladders over 11 feet.
