Greenville, Pa. — March 5, 2015 — Werner has announced a new addition to its innovative line of Podium ladders. The PDFS103 Fiberglass Podium Ladder is now available through select retailers nationwide.
The new model joins a growing family of Podium ladders, a new style of ladder that features an extra-large standing platform, allowing the user to face any direction while working.
A wrap-around guardrail also provides an extra point of contact, while the HolsterTop organizes tools and accessories at the top of the ladder where they are needed.
"We are continuing to build on the successful launch of our Podium family of ladders by offering options for all users — from professional contractors to DIY enthusiasts. Now everyone can enjoy the benefits of this new category of ladders,” said John Werner, senior product manager at Werner Co.
Through continued focus on creating safe home and work environments, Werner’s introduction of the Podium ladder allows consumers and professional contractors to comfortably work at fixed heights for longer periods of time. The new ladder provides a reach height of 9 feet and is priced under $99.
Other product highlights include:
• Edge-bracing system: Provides enhanced strength and helps prevent rail damage.
• Load capacity: The Podium has a load capacity of 250 pounds and a Type 1 duty rating.
• Fiberglass construction: The seven-layer fiberglass construction is non-conductive, providing extra safety for those working near electricity.
• Slip-resistant: TRACTION-TRED steps provide an extra level of safety.
