The WERNER Ready Step, available in 4 and 5.5 foot versions, is 15% lighter than normal step ladders while maintaining strength and stability.
WERNER, the world’s leading manufacturer of ladders and advanced climbing and fall protection products, has introduced its newest innovation, the WERNER Ready Step, a lightweight and compact fiberglass step ladder designed for residential trades professionals such as HVAC technicians, electricians, remodelers, and contractors who require safety, worksite durability, and tool organization in one highly efficient, professional-grade design.
The WERNER Ready Step, available in 4 and 5.5 foot versions, is 15% lighter than normal step ladders while maintaining strength and stability. With a 300-pound load capacity and a small 4-inch profile when closed, it is designed for simple transport and storage in work trucks and vans, as well as in confined workplace situations.
“Whether servicing a mini-split unit or wiring a panel in a residential space, professional tradesmen require a ladder that is stable, portable, and quick to set up,” stated Shannon Kennedy, Senior Director of Product Marketing at WERNER. “The Ready Step combines the safety and durability users expect from WERNER with a lightweight design, wide platform, and high efficiency work top to keep tools close at hand.”
Extra-Large Platform with Integrated Tool Access for Increased Productivity
The WERNER Ready Step has a Quick-Setup Platform, which provides an extra-large standing area that is 5X (4 ft model) or 3X (5.5 ft model) the size of a standard step ladder. This firm, slip-resistant surface enables users to work longer and with less fatigue. The one-handed open-and-close mechanism, along with a no-pinch design, allows users to do tasks swiftly and safely, while minimizing downtime.
The innovative LOCKTOP ladder top can contain 10 different tools, including an impact driver, screwdrivers, tape measure, small parts, and a phone. The new WERNER Ready Step is compatible with LOCK-IN accessories, allowing professionals to add paint cups, job caddies, and basic equipment for additional storage.
The new WERNER Ready Step ladder has several key features, including:
- Lightweight and Compact: Weighs 15% less than a standard 300-pound ladder and fits into 4-inch gaps for simple storage and portability.
- Extra-large Work Zone Platform: Offers a 5X (4 ft) or 3X (5.5 ft) standing surface for increased comfort when working at heights.
- Simple Setup: Quick one-handed setup for faster, safer operation.
