Italian term or phrase: del tipo a scaleo
Having researched a little I was under the impression that these are portable aluminium ladders; the "compasso" being step ladders (self-supported) and the other type being straight or extension ladders. However, I'm not totally sure, pls see the paragraph below. Many thanks


ELENCO DEI PONTEGGI E DELLE OPERE PROVVISIONALI
Le operazioni in esame comportano l’utilizzo di scalette portatili semplici di alluminio, a compasso e del tipo a scaleo.
Le prime sono utilizzate per raggiungere postazioni di lavoro in quota, adeguatamente protette, dopo averne assicurato la stabilità al piede ed il fissaggio nella parte sommitale.
Soltanto se l’intervento è di breve durata e non è giustificata l’adozione di sistemi ritenuti più sicuri è possibile eseguire un’attività lavorativa stazionando su una scaletta portatile, provvedendo alle assicurazioni di cui sopra, organizzandosi con l’assistenza di almeno una persona a terra e, per altezze superiori a 1,20 m., indossando la cintura di posizionamento in aggiunta a quella portautensili.
