Why Ladders?

Ladders are a staple on every job site. They’re essential—but they’re also bulky, heavy, and awkward to handle. This isn’t just inconvenient. It’s dangerous.

We lived this. We ran a handyman company with 200 employees that did over 70,000 jobs. People get hurt moving ladders around. Putting them on top of (or jamming them into) cars. Rotator cuffs got torn. Lower backs spasmed. Workers repeatedly leaned off the side of the ladders rather than dragging them around.

After a couple injuries we realized the problems were bigger than training. Nobody has innovated meaningfully on ladders in over 30 years. So, we thought, “why not us?”

Designed For The Job

  • Stable by design, not by dead weight. A wider top and a wider base create a more stable structure.

  • 4” wide steps. Comfortable on the feet. Easier for balance.

  • Double sided. Yes. Steps on both sides. Prevents leaning when the ladders in a tricky spot.

  • Extra tall top. 18” between the top step and the top cap means the top step is usable as a step. Everyone does this anyway, regardless of the manufacturers warnings. We made it safe.

  • Shore A90 Polyurethane Feet. Basically the same stuff as skateboard wheels instead of a flimsy plastic tab. Much stickier. Super tough.

  • Nickel alloy fasteners for long term corrosion resistance.

  • 2k Clear coat exterior. The same stuff that makes your car UV resistant in the sun.

    It looks Super Cool.

Rigorous Testing

Test. Test. Test.

Every single ladder is put through a battery of OSHA and ANSI testing. We put a wide safety margin above and beyond these already intense testing standards.

Every single ladder we sell is proven under 1500 pounds of compressive load before it leaves the factory.

We scratch, twist, drop, smack, pull, push, squeeze, submerge, freeze, and heat our ladders (and sections of the ladders) to make sure they can stand up in the field.
