Louisville Ladder FM1416HD Twin Front Stepladder, 16 Feet

Heavy, but very sturdy. Used mostly for getting into the attic to bring stored things down. Much safer than an ordinary aluminum ladder which wobbled and resulted in a fall.

Bought this to replace an aluminum ladder that I bought at a garage sale in 1979. Obviously this is a night-and-day experience. It looks good and it is extremely sturdy. The 'Two-Front' configuration is very convenient around the small spaces I work in. No need to keep spinning it around. There are a couple of sacrifices made when you buy a ladder like this. 1. I wouldn't at all characterize it as 'Light Weight'. It's beefiness comes with some heft. 2. I'm still not sure how I'm going to make up for the lack of a paint pail shelf. I'm heading toward something out of ply and scrap wood. So far, I haven't see anything available at Louisville that will work. In any case, I'm not regretting the purchase. Enjoy.

This ladder is solid! It is heavy and strong, but not so heavy that it can’t be handled by two people or carefully by one strong person. It has steps on both sides which add to its strength and allow two to use it at the same time. The feet are firm and non-slip. The orange finish is bright and attention getting. This is expensive, but I feel very secure with this. When I think about other wobbly ladders, this ladder is worth far more than the asking price if it prevents one fall from a less secure ladder. This comes in several different sizes, be sure to measure what you need it for and order the correct size.

This is an excellent product and works great but just know that it is heavy. I can carry it by myself but it is all I want to handle. I like the fact that it has steps on both sides. Very useful !!!!

How often do you LOVE a ladder? This time for sure. Love it. As solid as Mount Washington. At 21 pounds (4-foot ladder) it's not too heavy to lug around, or to get up and down stairs and around corners. It's a two-hand lift, not a flimsy, lightweight fluff ladder you can bounce around with one hand. That's okay. It's a bit heavier for a good reason. The steps are the same on either side so you never have to fuss about which way the ladder is facing. It's always ready for you. I particularly like the two-sided feature because you can straddle the top with a foot on either side. Very comfortable and stable. It's a bit stiff to open but hey, it's a new ladder. It opens and closes smoothly, which is the main thing. There is no provision for holding tools--no slots, no holes. That is not a failing, particularly with a 4-foot ladder. This one is all about being sturdy, not about any other features, no matter how handy they may be on other ladders. If Atlas needed a ladder to hold the world up just a little higher, this is the ladder he'd want. It's that solid.

Bought this ladder to work on a hanging porch light. I found it to be very stable. It was handier than I thought to be able to have someone else climb the other side of the ladder at the same time to assist. A little heavy for one person to carry or set up but perfect for two.

Great, durable ladder, but really heavy!! 80lbs? Be young and strong to handle on own, but generally for 2 or more persons to handle. Looking to replace with more expensive fiberglass equivalent. Size is great for trimming tall plants, trees, reaching high interior places. Weight and footing pads make for stability. So far holding up nicely in outdoor storage exposure to elements.

This is a very solid ladder and will allow a reach unlike other ladders I currently own. I was shocked that the legs are uneven. I cannot safely use it. It was either damaged in shipping or assembly. Being so large & hard to transport you would assume that the flaw would have been caught by quality control. I ordered a replacement & hope the same issue doesn’t repeat itself. Delays are annoying. I finally got the replacement after 3 promised dates. The replacement was wrapped nicely unlike first one. It is level on all legs. It works great though I recommend 2 people so there is a counterbalance for unlevel ground. I love it.

This was totally worth the price. Strong, secure and two people can climb it at once
