Extension ladder
The Werner GLIDESAFE Extension Ladder is easy-to-operate. The internal spring mechanism operates similar to a garage door system, providing assistance to raise it when you need it most. As the user pulls the internal lift cable, the spring releases tension and helps lift the extension ladder’s fly section. When the fly section is lowered, it reloads tension on the spring, providing resistance that keeps the ladder’s fly section from slamming to the ground. The lift assist mechanism is connected through an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene rope. A built-in auto-lock engages when the extension ladder is fully collapsed. A yellow tab must be pressed to unlock the ladder and allow it to extend. Additional heavy-duty locks keep the GLIDESAFE secure and stable when it is extended during use.
