Ladders provider Werner introduced the Multi-Position Pro Ladder, described as the lightest-weight multi-position ladder with a 375-lb. (170.1 kg) load rating per side.

The new five-position ladder addresses professional users’ need for versatility by offering a lightweight product that provides stability and durability for multiple application needs.

Challenges of End Users

“At Werner, we are committed to solving the challenges our end users face,” said Carla Ramalho, product manager. “We developed the Multi-Position Pro Ladder to address the number one complaint from our end users — the weight of a multi-position ladder. This new design aids in the reduction of work fatigue, while providing five unique ladders in one.”

The ladder was designed with the company’s POWERLITE rails to decrease weight, which makes it easier to load, unload, and configure. End users can operate this unit as a twin stepladder, stairway stepladder, wall ladder, or two scaffold bases, with no additional hinges required.

The Multi-Position Pro addresses ladder weight concerns while providing stability and durability to ensure confidence under foot when climbing and descending.

Potential Ladder Jobsites

According to the manufacturer, the pro-grade multi-position ladder can be used on jobsites for facilities maintenance, roof inspections, painting stairways, drywall, insulation installation, and more.

The latter is approved by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and available in four sizes: 14 feet (4.3 m), 18 feet (5.5 m), 22 feet (6.7 m), and 26 feet (7.9 m).
