The Truth about Werner LaddersArticulated Ladder: Subpar

Riveted Rungs: A Safer Alternative to Welded Rungs?
; z, p; Q0 T/ H, o# c gWerner salesmen often tout their riveted rungs, claiming that the

I once read a review of a Little Giant Ladder from a Werner customer.
) R b+ l, p# w( l( RHe touted the strength of Werner riveted rungs (obviously, he hadn# \0 J/ {+ _! @. R9 b# p' Z1 [
yet seen the need to eattach" any of them) and disparaged the Little
5 U9 Q. T2 n* P8 HGiant. He claimed the Little Giant rungs were held on with 鈥渙range
& U$ p; G7 T0 \- J, E2 mplastic clips." A little research reveal that instead of clips or+ S* f/ |/ V8 ]* U9 b- V2 W
rivets, the Little Giant is constructed using dual pass zigzag welds.2 b( r( E: t" q% i, w) P
The unique design of these ultra strong welds helps to keep you safe.
8 _9 B5 d/ C$ {The edges of the rungs are then covered with orange plastic clips to

than a Little Giant--and don believe anybody who tells you otherwise.
, u7 Z" x/ G( h0 G* r x5 O7 Q- pThe bottom line is that the safety features of the Werner telescoping

convertible ladders. Give Little Giant a try. Your safety--and possibly0 W) o( O2 d$ L8 r9 }2 U- b
your life--is worth it.
