If what you need to reach cannot be accessed from a ladder on the sides, you can use a small (4'x4') piece of luan or plywood to spread the weight over a larger area, but with the manufacturers constantly looking for ways to build these units cheaper and lighter, I would try to avoid too much time or movement especially on any manufacturers entry level product lines.
I thought of using something to spread the weight around.... I was also trying to avoid purchasing a taller ladder. I have a 12 footer and it's not quite tall enough to reach were I need to reach.
