Werner has been helping people gain height one step at a time since 1956, they know what they are doing. Imitated by many companies, the Werner brand of step ladders is the construction industry standard. You can throw this step ladder in the back of a truck, hide it in your closet, leave it propped up in the garage. It will outlast you even without proper care due to the sheer rugged strength of the material components. Buy it, use it, abuse it, it just keeps working.
Deja Vu? Wasn’t the last step ladder also a Werner? When you dominate the industry, you get two spots on the list. If you don’t have the room or space for an 8 foot step ladder, this 6 foot step ladder by Werner is your next best bet. Werner ladders are a construction industry standard for professionals. Enjoy years of worry-free service, (you are more likely to forget the ladder and lose it then for the ladder to break from abuse). Featuring non-conductive side rails and sturdy steel steps, this 6 foot ladder is a great addition to your home or office that adds a safety measure when dealing with overhead electrical outlets, lighting and ceiling fans. Getting electrocuted isn’t fun, doing it from a height and falling is even worse. Be safe, buy quality.
If Werner were Coca-Cola, Louisville would be Pepsi. If you see a step ladder on a job site that isn’t a Werner, chances are it’s a Louisville. Founded in 1946, Louisville Ladder has been cranking out quality products for over 75 years. This ladder features a 300lbs weight capacity, smooth finish and non-conductive full channel rail construction with a polyester veil for years of durable service. The feet of the step ladder feature a traction improving gripped surface. Each Step features 6 rivets to secure them into the full channel rails, so you don’t have to worry about a missing rung when you really need it.
Not every short-statured professional needs a construction step ladder to do their job. Some of us just want to be able to reach the top shelf of the pantry so that all of that space is finally usable. What about a ladder that is small and foldable as to not take up too much space? How about a 500lb weight capacity so you never worry about using it to grab that extra cookie (double chocolate with fudge, you know you want it!)? What I like most about this step ladder is that is comes with handrails on both sides. This is such a great addition, especially as I like to grab onto something when I’m at an extended height off the ground for stability. The base and steps are wide and feature an anti-slip surface so that you don’t have to worry about taking a header off your pantry shelves when you’re just trying to grab cereal before your morning commute. Buy it, store it in the pantry, save on future hospital bills and gain needed pantry space back!
Transformers….. more than meets the eye! The Little Giant Ladder just looks cool! Featuring an all aluminum construction and a 375 lb. weight limit, the Little Giant 2 step, 2 foot step stool is a great addition when you just need a little extra height from time to time but don’t want a step ladder that takes up too much space when not in use. This is a perfect step ladder for kitchens, pantries and offices. The wide shoes provide incredible traction and the all aluminum designs means you get strength and beauty with a product that only weights 11 lbs.
