Description
Maneuver around tight commercial corners and complex structural framing with a single rear rail. The **Werner 12 Ft. Type IA** Fiberglass Tripod Ladder delivers a 300-pound load capacity. You position the tripod ladder over floor obstacles and interior stud walls. However, this tripod ladder cannot accommodate two workers climbing simultaneously.
Werner builds this tripod step ladder with non-conductive fiberglass side rails and heavy-gauge aluminum steps. The single rear rail design fits into tight corners and over plumbing pipes where standard four-leg ladders fail. The steps feature serrated Traction-Tred slip-resistant aluminum profiles connected via heavy-duty internal steel spreaders. A molded aluminum top cap holds tools and hardware. The ladder boasts a 300-pound Type IA duty rating.
Key Features of Werner Tripod
Equip your commercial electrical and framing crews with this fiberglass tripod ladder to work inside tight architectural spaces. Direct wholesale pricing helps contractors maintain OSHA-compliant climbing gear.
- A 300-pound Type IA load rating supports heavy workers carrying conduit up the 12-foot frame.
- Non-conductive fiberglass side rails protect electricians from high-voltage shock hazards on the tripod ladder.
- A single rear rail design navigates 90-degree corners and open stud walls.
- Traction-Tred aluminum steps provide slip-resistant footing in dusty work environments.
- Internal steel spreaders prevent ladder collapse during heavy dynamic loading.
- A molded tool top secures drills, tape measures, and fasteners during work.
- EDGE molded bracing protects the bottom fiberglass rails from impact damage.
Dynamic Load Testing Telemetry
Load testing confirms the structural fiberglass rails and aluminum steps withstand 300 lbs of static downward pressure without deflection or rivet failure. Electrical insulation telemetry verifies zero current transfer across the fiberglass rails at 25000 volts. The internal steel spreaders lock out to provide a stable tripod base spread, preventing lateral tipping under dynamic side-loading. The Traction-Tred steps maintain a 0.85 coefficient of friction under wet and dusty conditions, preventing boot slippage during rapid ascent. Base pad compression testing shows zero deformation under full load on concrete.
Field Operation Usability Directives
Workers unfold the tripod ladder and lock the internal steel spreader down before climbing to the work height. The single rear leg slides between studs and pipes to get the operator closer to the work surface. Do not stand on the top cap, overreach beyond the fiberglass side rails, or use this tripod ladder on uneven ground.
- Inspect the Type IA fiberglass side rails for cracks or delamination before each work shift.
- Check aluminum step rivets and tripod spreader hinges for tightness every 30 days.
- Wipe grease and mud off the Traction-Tred steps after each use.
