5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME LADDDER, August 16, 2001

This review is from: Werner T7406 375-Pound Duty Rating Fiberglass Multi-Use Twin Ladder, 6-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

I recently purchased the eight foot double sided step laddder and would seriously recommend it to any one looking for a heavy duty ladder! I am a residental contracter and use it every day. Its works great for two guys to work off of and also strong enough to use with an aluminum walk plank. The heavy duty spreaders and fiberglass rail sheilds make this ladder very sturdy even on soft ground. I have used many other ladders but this is by far the best one yet!!

5.0 out of 5 stars WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO OWN ONE!?!?!, April 26, 2003

This review is from: Werner T7406 375-Pound Duty Rating Fiberglass Multi-Use Twin Ladder, 6-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have owned and worked on just about every ladder made, over many years, and I have to say, this has got to be one of the safest, most stable ladders on the market. It's a tad bit heavy, but well worth the extra lugging.

It does take a little to get used to, like I find myself debating as to which side to climb down when standing straddled over the top, and it is wider when folded up, using up more room in the construction trailer, but I plan to buy more over the years. I bought a 6 footer and plan to buy another along with two 8 footers. Very stable and works great to span scaffolding planks to. I highly recommend one, especially to any contractor.

Werner T7406 6' Type 1AA 375-Pound Rated Fiberglass Twin Ladder

With me on one side (6/4, 270 lbs.) and my son on the other side (6/8, 300 lbs.), the T7406 is as stable as can be. Since it easily holds the two of us, perhaps the rating should say "375 lb. per side". It doesn't rock, creak, or feel not-up-to, the task. All twin-sided step-ladders will cost more than their single-sided counterparts. However, the flexibility of being able to use either side, or to safely support two people, is the major advantage of this ladder. While on the ladder, I frequently switch to the other side, for better positioning, without dismounting first. Also, having a fiberglass frame, it won't transmit electricity. It's high-quality and designed to last a very long time under heavy use. It's comfortable to stand upon, as the treads are quite deep and heavily grooved to prevent slipping.

There are three "disadvantages", which any heavy-duty twin-step-ladder would have.

1. It weighs much more than a single-sided ladder; e.g., it's too heavy for my wife to lug around.
2. When folded, it's quite a bit larger than a single-sided ladder, making it more awkward to carry inside a finished house (e.g., you could run into things). Also, that larger size could be an issue if storage space is really cramped.
3. You can't lean the folded ladder against something and then [safely] climb it, as with a single-sided ladder. This is because the "feet" of the ladder half you would then climb on woudn't be on the ground.

All in all, this is one terrific step-ladder, and is Werner's highest rated model.
