![]() ![]() Put feet down 4-5' from wall with 'you between ladder' and wall, building (or pole), tilt to 180 vert. ![]() Walk with it like your carrying the biggest flag in the parade. Use lower arm strength to lift ladder and upper arm to control. 'from back side' (rope side) and grab with one arm outstretched low near 3rd rung and your other arm above your head (about 7th rung). tilt and Grab from back or rope side of ladder, stand and unload at the center of ladders gravity and military press up off truck. I worked for the cable company once and did ladder training, I always impress the girls with how easy i can unload manage and place a 28' 32' fib ladder. The Werner uses the huge plastic corner bracing and so far not a peep outta them :Thumbs: We've had 2 Kellers and the aluminum corner bracing was always the weakest link and tend to bend/buckle in less than ideal conditions and need replaced after a few years. With my step ladders I like the Werner better. Love the stability, but as noted if I had to deal with them everyday I'd start using steroids and look like Arnold!! I've borrowed a fiberglass ext a few times. I've got 6 fiberglass step ladders all 10yrs old, paint still bright and legs are solid as ever. None of my other fiberglass ladders have ever had the privledge of shelter when not in use, they all sit outdoors. When roofing single stories I'll break them both apart install all our jacks and planks and run the entire length of the building. ![]() I like oiur 28' aluminum's since they are light weight and easy to manuver, BUT I hate when we have them extended for 2 story work with jacks and plank, I'm not a big fan of heights anyways-compound that fear with the wiggle wobble that trasmits through the plank when it's set up and Im like a cat in a tree LOL!!! I also like the fact with these 28'ers they've come in handy on shorter houses, we can break them aprat and escentally make 2 ladders out of 1. ![]()
