    WERNER announces the launch of its newest innovation, the WERNER Ready Step, a lightweight and compact fiberglass step ladder built for residential trades professionals, including HVAC technicians, electricians, remodelers and contractors who demand safety, worksite durability, and tool organization in one highly efficient, professional-grade design.

    Available in 4-foot and 5.5-foot sizes, the WERNER Ready Step is 15 percent lighter than standard step ladders without compromising strength or stability. With a 300-pound load capacity and a slim 4-inch profile when closed, it is engineered for easy transport and storage in work trucks and vans, or storage in tight worksite spaces.

    Extra-Large Platform and Integrated Tool Access for Enhanced Productivity

    The WERNER Ready Step features a Quick-Setup Platform, providing an extra-large, standing surface, delivering 5X (4-foot model) or 3X (5.5-foot model) the standing room of a traditional step ladder. This stable, slip-resistant surface allows users to work longer with less fatigue. And the one-handed open-and-close operation with a no-pinch design gets users to the task quickly and safely, while minimizing downtime.

    The new LOCKTOP ladder top keeps essential tools close at hand with the ability to hold ten different tools, securely placing an impact driver, screwdrivers, tape measure, small parts, and a phone at hand while working. The new WERNER Ready Step is also LOCK-IN accessory compatible, allowing pros to attach paint cups, job caddies and basic tools to expand storage as needed.

    Key Features of the new WERNER Ready Step ladder include:

    • Lightweight & Compact: Weighs 15 percent lighter than a traditional 300-pound ladder and fits into 4-inch spaces for easy storage and portability.
    • Extra-large Work Zone Platform: Provides 5X (4 feet) or 3X (5.5 feet) standing surface for enhanced comfort while working at height.
    • Easy Set Up: Quick one-handed setup for faster, safer use.
    • Productivity Top: Designed to hold standard Android or iPhone devices, small parts and basic tools; expands storage with various LOCK-IN accessories. 
    • Added Durability: EDGE bracing for added rail protection and longer ladder life.
    • Certifications: Meets or exceeds both ANSI and OSHA requirements.

    The WERNER Ready Step is now available at professional distributors and retailers. For more information, visit: https://www.wernerco.com/us/products/ladders/step-ladders/READYSTEPSeries.
