Key Benefits
- Non-conductive DuPont™ Kevlar® composite rails for safer work around energized systems
- 8.5 ft ladder height / 12 ft reach height for overhead work, indoor service tasks, and stairwell access
- Lightweight Kevlar® construction at 34 lb for easier transport and deployment than traditional fiberglass step ladders
- Dual-use telescoping design functions as a freestanding A-frame and can be positioned closed for straight-ladder-style access
- Compact storage retracts to just 31 in closed height for vans, closets, trucks, and job boxes
- 375 lb load capacity (Type 1AA rated) for daily professional use
- Wide anti-slip comfort rungs provide improved stability and reduced fatigue during extended climbs, especially when wearing steel-toe boots and professional footwear.
Top Features
- Patented one-touch controlled retraction allows smooth, gradual ladder retraction to reduce pinch risk and sudden rung drop
- Extended top frame adds upper-frame height for more stable overhead work and support
- Safety lock indicator windows provide clear red/green visual confirmation that rung locks are secure
- Stair offset capability levels more safely on stairs or uneven ground using the integrated offset block between rear rungs
- Over 3" wide rungs feature an ergonomic 75° rear support angle designed to help maintain secure footing while climbing at working pitch.
- Wide stabilizer bar helps provide a broad, stable footprint for indoor and jobsite applications
- Compact telescoping design reduces storage footprint without sacrificing working height
Why Kevlar® Over Fiberglass
Unlike traditional fiberglass ladders, DuPont™ Kevlar® composite rails do not rely on a surface gel coat for insulation and do not develop hidden internal cracking over time. Kevlar® maintains non-conductive performance, structural integrity, and a superior strength-to-weight ratio throughout its service life, making it a preferred material for energized, industrial, and mission-critical applications.

- Opening as an A-frame: fully open the ladder and confirm each locking point is secure before climbing.
- Using on stairs: position the ladder so the integrated stair offset block between the rear rungs levels the ladder more safely on uneven surfaces.
- Closed-position access: when appropriate for the task and safe setup conditions, the ladder can be positioned closed against a structure for straight-ladder-style access.
- Retracting: use the one-touch unlock system and keep hands clear as the ladder lowers gradually with controlled retraction.
