Werner, a global manufacturer of
ladders, is launching more than 100
different products that will be
marketed by Belper-based Abru, a
member of the UK Ladder
Association, that was acquired by
Werner in April 2010.

The line up, says Werner, has
safety, quality and durability built
into every product. The range
comprises stepladders, combination
ladders, loft ladders, extension ladders,
roof ladders and work platforms.

The range will include fibreglass
swingback and platform stepladders
which, consistent with the rest of the
range, will be available as either trade
or industrial and comply with all
relevant UK and European
standards, in particular BS EN131.

A Lock-In System accepts a range
of accessories designed for
convenience and to boost safety and
productivity when working at height.

The accessories – which store and
cater for anything from power and
hand tools to paint sprayers and
paint – reduce the number of trips
required up and down a ladder.

Ed Gericke,Werner’s executive
vice president of sales and marketing,
says: “We have total confidence in
our products and their ability to help
make the work of trade professionals
safer, easier and more productive.”
