Werner provided custom designed championship ladders throughout March Madness and celebrated with coaches, student-athletes and fans during NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship Games
For the 15th year in a row, Werner is the official sponsor of the NCAA Women’s and Men’s Basketball championships games. As part of the partnership, Werner designed a customized ladder featuring a larger platform and taller guardrails, built specifically for the 2023 champions, that will safely accommodate the taller student athletes and larger shoe sizes.
Werner announced the new Extension Ladder WalkThru, a ladder accessory that allows users to make an ergonomic transition area from extension ladder to roof.

Whether young or old, short or tall, every employee has the right to be safe while performing tasks on the jobsite, and high-reach work in the construction industry is no exception.
This multi-position ladder from Werner Co. is the lightest weight ladder, developed with a 375-pound load rating per side and POWERLITE rails to decrease its weight for easy handling.
The safety events are organized from May 7-11, 2018 and will be conducted nationwide, including high-visibility events where both Werner and OSHA representatives will be participating.
