The Ready Step is 15% lighter than comparable standard step ladders and features a slim 4-inch profile when folded, making it easy to transport and store in vehicles or confined job spaces. Despite its reduced weight, the ladder supports a 300-pound load capacity and complies with ANSI and OSHA safety standards, ensuring reliability and durability.
“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 safety and durability with a lightweight design, wide platform and a work top to keep tools close at hand.” The ladder’s design prioritizes user convenience and safety for demanding work environments.
Key features include an extra-large, slip-resistant platform offering three to five times more standing space than traditional step ladders, reducing fatigue during extended use. The LOCKTOP ladder top securely holds up to ten tools, such as impact drivers and screwdrivers, and is compatible with Werner’s LOCK-IN accessory system for added versatility. A one-handed, no-pinch mechanism enables quick opening and closing, streamlining setup. Additionally, EDGE bracing enhances rail protection, extending the ladder’s service life.
The Ready Step is tailored to meet the needs of professionals working in residential and commercial settings, where efficient tool access and mobility are critical. By combining lightweight construction with robust functionality, Werner’s new ladder supports productivity and safety, reinforcing the company’s reputation for innovative solutions in the professional tools market.
