Werner 28 Ft. Type IA Fiberglass Compact Extension Ladder

Description

Reach tight commercial rooflines using a three-section fiberglass design. The Werner 28 Ft. Type IA Fiberglass Compact Extension Ladder provides a 300-pound duty rating within a shortened transport profile. You navigate tight elevator shafts and stairwells. However, this compact three-section ladder requires more setup clearance than standard two-piece extension models.

Werner builds this three-section extension ladder with non-conductive fiberglass side rails and slip-resistant aluminum D-rungs. Heavy-duty extruded aluminum locks secure the overlapping fly sections. Protective guide brackets maintain smooth sliding action. Dual-action feet pivot to provide flat rubber pads for concrete or spiked edges to dig into soft dirt. The three-piece configuration reduces stored length by 20 percent compared to standard two-section ladders.

Key Features of Werner Extension

Equip your commercial construction crews with this compact extension ladder to handle electrical drops and exterior siding in confined spaces. Direct wholesale pricing gives contractors OSHA-compliant climbing gear.

• A 300-pound Type IA duty rating supports heavy workers carrying tool belts up the 28-foot span.
• Non-conductive fiberglass side rails protect electricians from high-voltage shock hazards on the extension ladder.
• A three-section compact design reduces transport length for cargo van storage.
• Slip-resistant aluminum D-rung treads provide comfortable standing surfaces during long maintenance shifts.
• Heavy-duty extruded aluminum locks secure the 28-foot fly sections without sliding.
• Dual-action feet pivot for flat concrete or dig into soft dirt.
• Protective guide brackets maintain smooth operation when extending the fiberglass extension ladder.

Dynamic Load Testing Telemetry

Load testing confirms the structural fiberglass rails and aluminum D-rungs withstand 300 lbs of static downward pressure without deflection or lock failure. Electrical insulation telemetry verifies zero current transfer across the fiberglass rails at 25000 volts. 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 sections without binding under full load. Base pad compression testing shows zero deformation under full load on concrete.

Field Operation Usability Directives

Workers position the ladder against the wall and use the rope and pulley system to hoist the dual fly sections into place. The compact fiberglass frame permits maneuverability inside tight commercial stairwells. Do not overextend the ladder past the safety stops, climb above the top three rungs, or use on ice.

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