The Truth about Werner LaddersArticulated Ladder: Subpar
; N, J/ C; u( s8 B+ o0 r3 `+ zWerner Ladder Co. is an excellent ladder company. Most of their5 f- e$ y$ c# e
ladders are of the finest quality, passing the OSHA tests with flying

: `' n! Z& l( K/ C0 R* URiveted Rungs: A Safer Alternative to Welded Rungs?
2 x- {( ^ C3 W) AWerner salesmen often tout their riveted rungs, claiming that the

Rivets are considered outmoded in many forms of manufacturing that+ w& q* @7 U& l/ |9 r. d( E5 m

to make a weld fail. Rivets, on the other hand, may break, shear off or

When these rivets fail, according to salespeople,http://www.nhr0598.cn/showtopic-20557.aspx, you can have the

The standard for telescoping convertible ladders was set by the0 U7 w" E% |5 Z1 Q3 D5 \

Giant Ladder System made by Wing Enterprises.
2 B3 o8 R! N0 _! I! ?& L# kI once read a review of a Little Giant Ladder from a Werner customer.
4 H# s. \2 Y1 N7 JHe touted the strength of Werner riveted rungs (obviously, he hadn% U$ d0 t! {- |4 S6 v! l, i
yet seen the need to eattach" any of them) and disparaged the Little
0 u4 O: I: g2 g0 Y+ m8 j1 w+ HGiant. He claimed the Little Giant rungs were held on with 鈥渙range5 Z5 d: u4 ` I+ S% ]
plastic clips." A little research reveal that instead of clips or
/ C6 ^, i& G4 |. ?rivets, the Little Giant is constructed using dual pass zigzag welds.+ ]+ k7 B* e$ m6 J: N% ]. U) g9 [5 @
The unique design of these ultra strong welds helps to keep you safe.

prevent cuts and other injuries. There no safer convertible ladder- j8 e4 l( ~* E, }% i
than a Little Giant--and don believe anybody who tells you otherwise.
" q* m2 V* u- n: o2 bThe bottom line is that the safety features of the Werner telescoping5 e H+ v L, p2 @4 L2 T
multiladder are subpar. So if safety is a concern in using your' A/ a! B4 `: p* w+ L
ladder--and safety should always be a concern in using a ladder--it
