About half the weight of steel or stainless steel ladders, these aluminum ladders are easy to move around your workspace. They’re also corrosion resistant, so you can wash them down and use them in wet areas. The taller the ladder, the wider the base needs to be to remain compliant with OSHA or Cal/OSHA. Bases are widest at the back. The number of steps listed includes the platform.

All steps and platforms are textured to help keep you from slipping. Serrated surfaces are more slip resistant than those that are ribbed or grit coated. However, without work boots, standing on them for extended periods may be uncomfortable. They have openings so liquids can drain and debris can fall through.

Ladders with a step lock have a locking mechanism that engages when you step on the plate below the first step. To release the lock, lift the plate back up.

Note: All ladders meet OSHA or Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.

With a work platform that extends beyond the base, these rolling ladders—also known as cantilever ladders—provide access to hard-to-reach areas, such as the top of large tanks and over conveyors. Wheel brakes keep these ladders stationary while in use. The number of steps listed includes the platform. Shipped assembled, except the handrails and base require assembly.

Counterbalanced-base ladders use a counterweight to stay stable, so their base isn’t as long as an extended base. As a result, it’s easier to position these ladders over tanks and other equipment where there isn’t room to slide the base underneath. Place the counterweight near the first step before use. Conversion kits turn counterbalanced-base ladders into extended-base ladders, eliminating the need for a counterweight. Without a counterweight, these ladders are easier to move.

Extended-base ladders don’t have a counterweight, so they’re easier to push around than counterbalanced-base ladders. Their base is longer than a counterbalanced base—but it’s only 8 1/4" high, so it can be rolled underneath conveyors and other machinery. Add a counterweight to turn these ladders into counterbalanced-base ladders. With a counterweight in place, you can remove the front base extension and install the front casters on the base section under the stairs.

For regular indoor use, choose a perforated tread. It has raised holes to keep you from slipping. For dirty jobsites, choose a serrated tread so debris falls through the steps. It has a sharp, raised surface for the highest level of slip resistance. The surface also scrapes mud from your work boots as you climb. Without boots, you may be uncomfortable standing for long periods.

No need to balance on narrow rungs—these step ladders have a large platform to keep you comfortable while you work. They also have a guardrail, so they’re safer than standard step ladders. The platform and steps have a ribbed surface to keep you from slipping. Fold these ladders for storage. The number of steps listed includes the platform.

Fiberglass ladders are nonconductive, so you can use them for electrical work. Type 1A ladders are tested to hold up to 300 lbs. Type 1AA ladders are tested to hold up to 375 lbs.

Enclose the platform with a safety gate for extra security. With rails on all sides, you can work with both hands and reach in any direction. Swing the front of the gate open to step onto the platform, then latch it behind you. When it’s not in use, the gate folds against the ladder. To install, drill holes in the ladder rails and attach the gate with the included hardware.

Note: Ladders meet ANSI, OSHA, and Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
