Werner, the world leader in ladders and manufacturer of climbing products and fall protection equipment, recently introduced the new Podium+ Type 1A ladder with a 300-lb load capacity. Designed for electricians, HVAC, general contractors and residential construction projects – from framing to finishing – the new Podium+ provides a large 360-degree platform and all the other benefits of the Werner Podium ladder in a lighter weight and compact size.
Ideal for safely and comfortably working at a fixed height and in any direction, the lighter weight of the new Podium+ makes it easy to set up and maneuver in tight spots. The large work platform lets professionals work in any direction without repositioning the ladder, while also helping to eliminate user fatigue from prolonged standing on a step. The contoured guardrail provides an added layer of stability for the user by providing a wraparound cradle at waist-height. And the Podium+ features a newly redesigned top for maximum productivity and safety with ten unique design features to hold tools for multiple application needs.
“We’ve continued to expand the Podium product line because of the ease of use. While being lighter weight than other Podium ladders, it still has a large 15″x18.5″ work platform and an upgraded wraparound LOCKTOP increases storage and workspace at the top of ladder,” said Diana Arshin, Sr. Product Manager at WernerCo. “The introduction of the new Podium+ provides our users with the best balance of safety, size and cost for the most diverse application needs.”
