Werner Ladders (107 items found)

When it's time to climb, demanding professionals turn to Werner ladders thanks to their careful design and premium construction quality. Our range includes extension ladders, step ladders and more in fiberglass or aluminum, in a range of sizes to suit every job.

How to Choose Werner Ladders

Werner ladders come in a wide range of styles, sizes, materials and capacities, and there are a few questions to consider before deciding which product is best for you:

• Will you be using the ladder indoors, outdoors, or both?
• What kinds of jobs will you be using the ladder for?  
• Will you be working around electricity?
• How much weight will be put on the ladder?

Your first decision is whether you need an extension ladder or a step ladder, and Werner supplies premium models of both types.

Reach High with Werner Extension Ladders

Werner extension ladders are available in sizes from 6ft to 60ft, with multi-positioning rails to reach as high or low as you need. They're also available in fiberglass or aluminum, and with safety features including foot-operated levelers for working on uneven ground.

Werner Step Ladders for Portable Stability

Werner step ladders are self-supporting units ranging in height from 2ft to 20ft, and are ideal for working indoors thanks to their compact, lightweight portability. The Werner step ladder range features fiberglass models which are rated for use around electric wiring, as well as traditional aluminum designs.

Werner Ladder Materials: Fiberglass or Aluminum?

The next step in picking the right Werner ladder is choosing its material. Werner offers both fiberglass and aluminum ladders, and each one provides benefits for different situations.

• Werner Fiberglass Ladders: These durable but lightweight products resist dents, shattering, rust, and corrosion, and are also designed to withstand extreme temperatures.  Importantly, Werner fiberglass ladders are a safely non-conductive choice if you'll be working near electricity, adding an extra layer of protection to your task.
• Werner Aluminum Ladders: These ladders are not intended for use around electricity because of aluminum's high electrical conductivity. However, just like Werner fiberglass ladders, these metal models provide excellent durability, weatherproofing, and resistance to extreme temperatures.

Werner Ladder Heights

When shopping for a new ladder, avoid buying one that's too short or too tall to ensure you stay within safety guidelines.

For example, with a step ladder you should never climb higher than two steps down from the top or you could lose your balance. Werner extension ladders should be several feet taller than the highest point you'll need to reach, and the highest standing level should be four rungs down from the top.

Werner Ladder Weight Capacities

Werner ladders are constructed to safely hold a maximum weight, which should be your own weight combined with the weight of the tools you're carrying. Look for these duty rating capacities to find the right solution for your tasks:

• Type III: Light-duty commercial ladders that support up to 200 pounds.
• Type II: Medium-duty commercial ladders that support up to 225 pounds.
• Type I: Heavy-duty industrial ladders that support up to 250 pounds.  
• Type IA: Heavy-duty industrial ladders that support up to 300 pounds.
• Type IAA: Extra heavy-duty industrial ladders that support up to 375 pounds.
