Product Description

Telescoping Multiladder quickly converts 20 working heights or positions, including a twin stepladder (4' to 7' high), extension ladder (8' to 14' high), stairway stepladder (5' to 7' high) and self-support 1' to 2' high, two-scaffold base (plank and tied downs not included). Features smooth curved rails for comfortable climbing, extra wide flared bottom for firm support, slip-resistant feet and double-riveted steps for long-lasting durability. Holds 300 lb. Aluminum professional grade ladder consists of three sections and two different locking mechanisms. The ladders outer sections allow the ladder to telescope and change heights in all the configurations, besides the scaffold mode. Adjust height quickly with spring-loaded "J" locks, two each on either side. Operate the spring-loaded "J" locks by pulling straight out and then rotating them away from the holes in the rails. Each "J" lock works independently so you work the lock with one hand while holding the ladder with the other.

Multiple Working Positions
The only ladder you may ever need, each MT Series ladder is incredibly versatile and can be easily converted to a stepladder, stairway stepladder, twin stepladder, extension ladder, or two scaffold bases to be used with a plank (plank not included).

The MT Series is available in four models--MT-13, MT-17, MT-22, and MT-26--allowing the choice of the perfect size for individual applications.

Twin Stepladder Position Supports 300 Pounds Per Side
When set up as a stepladder, the Werner MT Series has a load capacity of 300 pounds per side, including person and materials.

Easy Conversions and Height Adjustments
Each ladder's inner section allows it to be folded into three set positions: extension ladder, twin stepladder, and storage. Each of these configurations is made possible by using the push-knob locking hinges located on the sides of the ladder.

Height adjustments are also a snap thanks to the spring loaded J-locks. Simply disengage the J-locks on either side, telescope the section out to the desired length (in one-foot increments), and then reengage the J-hooks.

Durable and Safe
MT Series Telescoping Multiladders are just as durable as they are versatile. Double-riveted steps provide long-lasting durability, and an extra wide flared bottom provides firm support. What's more, smooth curved side rails provide comfort and safe climbing, while heavy duty non-marring feet provide slip resistance.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Versatil Essential for the Homeowner, December 1, 2004
Like another reviewer, the 'Little Giant' infomercial piqued my interest about this type of product. I was in need of an extension ladder in the 20ft range, but didn't really want to deal with storing it. The idea of meeting this need with a unit that stores in a compact space was appealing, and I could get rid of my eight foot step ladder to boot. I found the Werner MT-22 at Lowes for $198 plus tax. Little Giant didn't really lose a sale because there was no way I was going to pay $400 for a ladder no matter how well made or versatile.

The ladder is everything I expected. It works great as an A-frame stepladder. Although it is heaver than the 8-foot stepladder I'm retiring, it is also less bulky which is a good trade off when manuvering it to where I need to use it. It is also useful outdoors as a taller stepladder. The feature to allow it to be set up on stairs is a great plus.

The main reason I wanted a new ladder was to get a long enough extension to... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars One half the price of the Little Giant, June 29, 2004

As a contractor, I use a lot of ladders.

COSCO was the first to clone the Little Giant Ladder about five years ago. Apparently, Little Giant's patent was still in force for the hinges. I own the COSCO 17FT Worlds Greatest Ladder and used it for a couple of years, but I needed something longer.

In January 2002, I purchased the Type 1 22 FT Little Giant from Amazon.com. The only difference was the hinges and a few annoying braces in the climbing area of the two narrow extension pieces of the COSCO. The COSCO is made in Korea. The Little Giant is made in USA. Both functions flawlessly to this day.

I found the Little Giant cloned at Home Depot as the Gorrila Brand ladder at Home Depot. $99 for the 13 ft model and $199 for a 21 ft model. The ladder is essentially a China made copy of the Type 1A Little Giant.

My last purchase is the MT-13 Werner. It appears to be another clone of the Little Giant Type 1A, also made in China, probably by the same company that makes the... Read more

I own the COSCO 17FT Worlds Greatest Ladder and used it for a couple of years, but I needed something longer. The only flaw in the COSCO are the angular steel braces on the inside of the ends of the center hinged section. These are a bit annoying, when you are using it as an extension ladder.
