Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
Werner aluminum extension planks come in three sizes: 6-foot to 9-foot, 8-foot to 13-foot, and 10-foot to 17-foot. These convenient, easy-to-store extension planks have a 250 pound duty rating. They have positive stops every foot, which also prevents over-extension. Made of 2-inch deep box section extrusion, each extruded cross member is riveted with solid aluminum rivets. Molded thermo-plastic spacer guides provide easy open and close action. The outer flange is open for ladder jack clamps.

Great for homeowners with storage problems

By Chris A. Desselles

Since this is not a very technical item, There isn’t much to say about how well it works for its intended purpose. After all, it’s a plank… But the real beauty comes in the fact that the adjustable length makes it very easy to store such a long stage in a confined area. I use mine incombination with 2 extension ladders and a couple of scaffold jacks. Works great.

Great price for a scaffolding plank

By J. R. Graybill

I bought this scaffolding plank to use with my COSCO ladder that is a less expensive version of the Little Giant. The plank is solidly made and makes a great platform to work on.

My only complaint is that the plank is too wide to fit between my ladder rungs if it is in the shortest setting. Just to clarify, the plank is two symmetrical pieces that slide together, which allows the length extension. When extended, either of the two ends fits perfectly through the ladder rungs, so maybe it is designed this way on purpose.

I also bought the medium length plank because I thought it would give me the most use over time, but I found the medium length plank to be a bit akward when used on stairs with the ladder in A-frame mode or 90 degree mode. Because the plank doesn’t fit through the rungs where both pieces meet, this medium length only works at the top of the stairs so it can spread out on the landing. The smaller version ( 6-9 ft.) might work better if you plan on using it inside a lot. Also, I need to find out if other ladders like the werners or little giant are wider to accommodate the plank, but my guess is that they are still not that wide (4″ more needed).

Overall, the plank is a great buy for the price, but you might want to get the shorter one if you plan to use it inside on stairs.

Great alternative to full size plank scaffolding…

By BoatCarpenter

Let me start by saying I am a lifelong carpenter and have used scaffolding and planking of all types. When confronted with a cut-up sidewalling project I decided to give this plank a try just based on the nature of the job and various plank lengths that would otherwise be needed. This Werner 8′-13′ plank is light, sturdy (less so in full extension, but like all scaffolding just takes some getting used to) and is extremely versatile. This plank has become the one go to plank I carry on my truck at all times. It can do almost everything. I have used it high off the ground on ladder jacks, low to the ground on step ladders and off the side of a house on staging brackets. It is so easy to move, I almost always set it alone. This product gets 2 thumbs way up in my book. My next plank is going to be Werner’s larger 10-15 foot plank. Two thumbs up.

STURDIEST LADDER EVER!

By S. MARKS

I’ve had and used several ladders over the years. This is by far the best and sturdiest ladder I’ve ever used. I’m a big guy at 200+ pounds. This ladder is rock steady… Even when I tried to rock it, it wouldn’t budge! It’s well made, has some nice features like a conduit holder (for cutting) and a tool holder at the top! If you plan to use it for painting you’ll need to buy the Werner PK76-3 pail holder for a few dollars more, Werner PK76-3 Black Molded Universal Auto Closing Pail Shelf but that’s no big deal if you’re looking for a strong ladder that wll last a lifetime. Just think about the last time you were on a ladder… You felt it wiggle, move and make you feel insecure at times.. NOT THIS ONE! IT’S THE LAST ONE ONE YOU’LL EVER WANT! Spend a few dollars more… Get a ladder you’ll feel secure on. This one.

A step above

By Jay-Ski

This is a good solid ladder, well engineered and planned out. It’s obvious the people who designed this ladder actually worked in the field. It’s solid, doesn’t “walk” when set up properly, and is not heavy for a ladder of this rating.

Great ladder but …

By Craig Carver

Great ladder but the conduit cutting system is not available on 4′ model. The pictures show it but not the picture of the 4′ model, the Product Description seems like it’s for all models because it’s listed there. So it only gets 4 stars because it doesn’t have the conduit cutting system like I thought it would from reading the Product Description. Also the Hacksaw hook is only on the models with the conduit cutting system

AWESOME LADDDER

By CLH

I recently purchased the eight foot double sided step laddder and would seriously recommend it to any one looking for a heavy duty ladder! I am a residental contracter and use it every day. Its works great for two guys to work off of and also strong enough to use with an aluminum walk plank. The heavy duty spreaders and fiberglass rail sheilds make this ladder very sturdy even on soft ground. I have used many other ladders but this is by far the best one yet!!

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO OWN ONE!?!?!

By Narley Charley

I have owned and worked on just about every ladder made, over many years, and I have to say, this has got to be one of the safest, most stable ladders on the market. It’s a tad bit heavy, but well worth the extra lugging.

It does take a little to get used to, like I find myself debating as to which side to climb down when standing straddled over the top, and it is wider when folded up, using up more room in the construction trailer, but I plan to buy more over the years. I bought a 6 footer and plan to buy another along with two 8 footers. Very stable and works great to span scaffolding planks to. I highly recommend one, especially to any contractor.

Very Stable & Strong Step Ladder

By Victor H. Agresti

Werner T7406 6′ Type 1AA 375-Pound Rated Fiberglass Twin Ladder

With me on one side (6/4, 270 lbs.) and my son on the other side (6/8, 300 lbs.), the T7406 is as stable as can be. Since it easily holds the two of us, perhaps the rating should say “375 lb. per side”. It doesn’t rock, creak, or feel not-up-to, the task. All twin-sided step-ladders will cost more than their single-sided counterparts. However, the flexibility of being able to use either side, or to safely support two people, is the major advantage of this ladder. While on the ladder, I frequently switch to the other side, for better positioning, without dismounting first. Also, having a fiberglass frame, it won’t transmit electricity. It’s high-quality and designed to last a very long time under heavy use. It’s comfortable to stand upon, as the treads are quite deep and heavily grooved to prevent slipping.

There are three “disadvantages”, which any heavy-duty twin-step-ladder would have.

1. It weighs much more than a single-sided ladder; e.g., it’s too heavy for my wife to lug around.

2. When folded, it’s quite a bit larger than a single-sided ladder, making it more awkward to carry inside a finished house (e.g., you could run into things). Also, that larger size could be an issue if storage space is really cramped.

3. You can’t lean the folded ladder against something and then [safely] climb it, as with a single-sided ladder. This is because the “feet” of the ladder half you would then climb on woudn’t be on the ground.

All in all, this is one terrific step-ladder, and is Werner’s highest rated model.
