Ladder Buying Tips

Consider the Application

  • Commercial Household
    Economical, lightweight and dependable.  For the handyman, painter, mechanic and for general purposes
  • Industrial
    For heavy duty use. Stable, built to take it. For construction, maintenance or industrial work.
  • Extra Heavy-Duty Industrial
    Our heavy grade. For rugged industrial, construction, rental or maintenance use.
  • Special Duty / Professional
    Our heaviest grade. Designed for your heavier, more demanding workloads.

Select the Right Material

  • Fiberglass
    Is non-conductive, strong and colorful and has become a leading choice for the serious do-it-yourselfer, commercial or industrial user. 
  • Aluminum
    Is lightweight and strong, but it conducts electricity and should never be used near energized electric wires.  
  • Wood
    Is solid, stable and non-conductive when clean and dry.
