Product Description Tripod Stepladder, Fiberglass Material, ANSI Type IA, Height of Ladder 8 ft., Load Capacity 300 lb., Steps Number 8, Base Spread 40 In., Width Bottom 50 In., Tread Step Ribbed, Series FTP6200 From the Manufacturer Werner Model FTP6208 is a Type 1A 300 pound duty rating fiberglass tripod stepladder at 8 feet.
Compared to a typical stepladder, tripod stepladders offer unique advantages.
The single rear leg can better span over obstructions than the rear section of a typical stepladder, including placement through roughed-in walls.
A tripod ladder can also be positioned close to the wall without needing to be turned sideways and perpendicular to your work area.
It is ideal for working comfortably around trees, poles, corners, or other areas where you need to be especially close to your work.
Features include slip resistant steps that are double riveted; slip resistant feet that are replaceable and a convenient Tool-Tra-Top with a drill holster and paint can holder.
The highest standing level on this or any stepladder is 2 feet from the top.
