Use as a trestle
A short ladder can be used for a spanking in the bent-over-object position, like a trestle or barstool, as shown in the cartoon by Dave Ell. Padding on top of the ladder is recomendable for a more comfortable position.
A step ladder with a platform to lie over can be used like a spanking bench.
