It is built for residential trades professionals and contractors who demand safety, worksite durability, and tool organization in one highly efficient, professional-grade design.
Available in 4 foot and 5.5 foot. sizes, the Werner Ready Step is 15% lighter than standard step ladders without compromising strength or stability. With a 300 lb. load capacity and a slim 4-inch profile when closed, it is engineered for easy transport and storage in work trucks and vans, or storage in tight worksite spaces.
"Whether it’s servicing a mini-split unit or wiring a panel in a residential space, professional tradesmen need a ladder that’s stable, portable and provides fast set up,” said 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.”
The WERNER Ready Step features a Quick-Setup Platform, providing an extra-large, standing surface, delivering 5-times (4 foot model) or 3-times (5.5 foot model) the standing room of a traditional step ladder. This stable, slip-resistant surface allows users to work longer with less fatigue. And the one-handed open-and-close operation with a no-pinch design gets users to the task quickly and safely, while minimizing downtime.
The new LOCKTOP ladder top keeps essential tools close at hand with the ability to hold ten different tools, securely placing an impact driver, screwdrivers, tape measure, small parts, and a phone at hand while working. The new WERNER Ready Step is also LOCK-IN accessory compatible, allowing pros to attach paint cups, job caddies and basic tools to expand storage as needed.
The Werner Ready Step is now available for professional distributors and retailers.
