I am in the market for one. It seems the only one that I can locate is the Werner double sided model. Is that the only model out there?
16' Ladder
1 - 20 of 27 Posts
We have that ladder, it's heavy as hell and takes two guys to stand it up and get it in position. Everyone hates it!!! Sucks moving it around once its up too.
We have an old electric Genie lift that most of us would rather use, like this:

I have wanted to buy a small one man lift like those for a while now. I was looking at some used prices, cant remember what type or brand, but they were still the price of a used car. Kinda hard to part with money like that if you don't use it all the time.
It would keep me from doing my stupid circus tricks every time I need to change a light high up. That alone is worth it. I just don't have 3-5k laying around though. :laughing:
It's only money...:whistling2::laughing:

I know right. If it were only that easy.
When ever my wife goes shopping, she never directly answers me when I ask how much money she spent. She always says "You wont believe how much money I saved....". She only does that cause the veins in my neck starts pulsating and beads of sweat line my forehead.
:laughing:Maybe I just need to keep reminding myself that its only money. :laughing:

The correct response is "Show me, honey. Just SHOW ME all the money you saved..." :blink:I know right. If it were only that easy.

I would seriously find a place to rent one or convince a rental place to bring one in for you.

We have a 18' A frame. It is heavy, takes up a lot of room but I am glad we have it. For years we would set up staging, hang one light and then dismantle the staging. Then we would rent one if we needed to get in and out. Ours is nice and clean, no paint or 10 lbs of drywall mud!!

In the 70's our 12' wooden ladder was called Wiggly Nellie!! You could install 8' fluorescent fixtures by yourself. Set it in the middle of the fixture, get one screw, lean left, get one screw, lean right, get the last screw. It was like being at the top of a 40' pole in a 60 mph wind!!!
We have let the a /c man,sheet rocker and another EC use it for a small donation a few times since it was purchased a couple years ago and is still in great condition.
Plus we throw in 50 if we need it on a T\M job.
The ROI is around 200 % percent with the help our little friends.

I feel like I should just get one. I don't see how renting one is going to save me money when it cost less than $700 for the ladder.
But that was before I got my 12' now my men use the saw horses but don't have to stand on the top.
