With patent-pending lift-assist technology, the GLIDESAFE Extension Ladder provides up to 50% assistance to raise and lower the ladder's fly section comfortably. Designed for all professionals who use fiberglass extension ladders, from commercial construction to facilities maintenance, GLIDESAFE takes ease-of-use to the next level.
The internal spring mechanism operates similar to a garage door system providing assistance to raise it when you need it most. As the user pulls the internal lift cable, the spring releases tension and helps lift the extension ladder’s fly section with less effort required. When the fly section is lowered, it reloads tension on the spring, providing resistance that keeps the ladder’s fly section from slamming to the ground.
The lift assist mechanism is connected through an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene rope, the same material used for lines on sport parachutes and in the marine industry. The result of the Lift-Assist Technology is a pro-grade fiberglass extension ladder that slides up and down smoothly and with less effort, removing common pain points caused by free-moving fly sections.
A built-in auto-lock automatically engages when the extension ladder is fully collapsed. A yellow tab must be pressed to unlock the ladder and allow it to extend. Additional heavy-duty locks keep the GLIDESAFE secure and stable when it is extended during use. The ladder also comes with built-in transportation latches which can be buckled around the rungs of both ladder sections. The latches help ensure safe transportation of the ladder, keeping it from extending while on the go.
Available in six sizes ranging from 20 to 40 ft, each GLIDESAFE extension ladder is rated for a 300-lb. load capacity. The ladder features dual-action feet that can be used on both hard and penetrable surfaces as well as exclusive ALFLO rung joints, providing twist-proof performance. Dual-colored rails help users stay oriented and allow them to focus on the task at hand.
