Werner Glidesafe Extension Ladder Fiberglass Tri Rung Type IA 32′

Description

A proprietary lift assist mechanism reduces deployment effort by up to 50 percent. The Werner Glidesafe Extension Ladder Fiberglass provides a 32-foot reach with a 300-pound Type IA duty rating. You hoist the fly section without shoulder strain. However, this 32-foot extension ladder cannot act as a self-supporting step ladder.

Werner builds this extension ladder with non-conductive fiberglass side rails and slip-resistant aluminum Tri-Rungs. The internal GlideSafe lift assist mechanism utilizes a concealed dual-spring system to reduce lifting force. Heavy-duty extruded aluminum locks secure the fly section. The ladder boasts a 300-pound Type IA duty rating. Dual-action feet ensure secure placement on hard concrete or penetrable soil. Protective guide brackets maintain smooth operation.

Key Features of Werner Glidesafe

Equip your commercial utility crews with this lift-assist extension ladder to handle electrical drops and telecommunication repairs. Direct wholesale pricing ensures contractors maintain OSHA-compliant climbing gear on tight budgets.

• A 300-pound Type IA duty rating supports heavy workers carrying tool belts.
• Non-conductive fiberglass side rails protect electricians from high-voltage shock hazards.
• GlideSafe lift assist technology reduces fly section lifting force by half.
• Slip-resistant aluminum Tri-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.

Dynamometer Bench Testing Load Telemetry

Load testing confirms the structural fiberglass rails and aluminum Tri-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 GlideSafe internal spring mechanism requires under 20 lbs of pull force to elevate the heavy fly section. The dual-action feet lock secure under 500 lbs of dynamic downward force, preventing base shift on sloped grades. The slip-resistant Tri-Rungs maintain a 0.85 coefficient of friction under wet conditions.

Field Operation Usability Maintenance Directives

Workers position the ladder against the building wall and pull the lift rope to hoist the fly section. The GlideSafe mechanism absorbs the weight, preventing operator back strain. Do not overextend the ladder past the safety stops, climb above the top three rungs, or use on ice.

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