Louisville Ladder FM1416HD Twin Front Stepladder, 16 Feet

This ladder is exactly what we needed! We were looking for a good, sturdy, tall ladder at church, and this one is perfect. It feels very stable and secure, even at full height, and the 375-pound load capacity gives added confidence when using it. The twin front design is also a great feature, making it easy for more than one person to work when needed. It’s well-built, reliable, and a great investment for any setting. It folds up nicely for storage and is easy to carry around.

Excellent and sturdy ladder. It is pretty heavy for one person to move and you definitely need a second person. Overall the ladder is perfect for house projects.

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.

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.

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 was a Christmas present for my husband and he loves it!! Me too, I’ve used it several times. My only complaint is that is Very Heavy, but my husband doesn’t care about that…. It is Very good Quality and Very Sturdy. You can go up on either side which is very helpful, you don’t need to move it all the time.

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.

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