US ladder range now available in UK

New to the UK but not to the rest of the world, US-based Werner has launched more than 110 different products. The line-up consists of stepladders, combination ladders, loft ladders, extension ladders, roof ladders and work platforms.

The company says the health and safety benefits of fibreglass have led to this material accounting for 50% of the US market, and the new Werner range includes fibreglass swingback and platform stepladders which are available as either 'trade' or 'industrial' options.

The 'trade' fibreglass swingback stepladder is available in seven versions with reach heights of 1.99 to 4.32m, while the platform alternative offers six options with reach heights from 2.69 to 4.55m. The 'industrial' swingback also comes in seven versions and up to 14 treads, and the platform alternative in six versions with up to 12 treads.

All Werner fibreglass ladders have fibreglass stiles, non-conductive to 30,000 volts, which are suitable for working in the proximity of electricity.
