Werner 28 Ft. Type IA Aluminum Extension Ladder

Description

Does dragging heavy fiberglass ladders exhaust your siding and painting crews before the job begins? The Werner 28 Ft. Type IA aluminum extension ladder provides a 300-pound duty rating with lightweight transportability. You reach high exterior walls with ease. However, this conductive aluminum ladder cannot be used near live electrical power lines.

Werner builds this extension ladder with heavy-gauge aluminum I-beam side rails and slip-resistant aluminum D-rungs. The modified I-beam profile delivers maximum structural rigidity while reducing overall carry weight. Heavy-duty extruded aluminum locks secure the fly section at specific height intervals. The ladder meets strict Type IA duty ratings. Protective guide brackets and dual-action feet ensure secure base placement on hard concrete or soft dirt.

Key Features of Werner Extension

Equip your commercial construction crews with this lightweight aluminum extension ladder to handle exterior siding and painting. Direct wholesale pricing ensures contractors maintain OSHA-compliant climbing gear.

• A 300-pound Type IA duty rating supports heavy workers carrying tools and paint.
• Lightweight aluminum I-beam side rails allow easy single-person transport and setup.
• Slip-resistant aluminum D-rungs provide comfortable standing surfaces during long shifts.
• Heavy-duty extruded aluminum locks secure the fly section without slipping.
• Dual-action feet pivot for flat concrete or dig into soft dirt.
• Protective guide brackets ensure smooth operation when extending the fly section.
• Mar-resistant end caps protect building siding from scratches and dents.

Dynamometer Bench Testing Load Telemetry

Load testing confirms the structural aluminum rails and D-rungs withstand 300 lbs of static downward pressure without deflection or lock failure. The modified I-beam design resists lateral twist under 400 lbs of dynamic side force. The dual-action feet lock secure under 500 lbs of dynamic downward force, preventing base shift. The slip-resistant D-rungs maintain a 0.85 coefficient of friction under wet conditions. Rope and pulley mechanisms lift the fly section smooth.

Field Operation Usability Maintenance Directives

Workers position the ladder against the wall and use the rope and pulley system to hoist the fly section into place. The lightweight aluminum frame allows rapid repositioning along exterior walls. Do not use this aluminum ladder near electrical lines, overextend past the safety stops, or use on ice.

• Inspect aluminum side rails for dents or bends before each work shift.
• Check aluminum rung locks and pulley ropes for wear every 30 days.
• Wipe grease and mud off the aluminum D-rungs after each use.
