This 40 ft ladder is sturdy. Too sturdy in fact. This ladder is a industrial strength beast. No bow, no bend, no damage to speak of. I bought it off CL in Portland to help do siding on my house. But as a single dude I can't manage this ladder, it's just too heavy. A contractor with a couple guys will love this thing. I got what I needed it for done and now I'm looking to downsize a bit.
I had a Werner 40' ladder before and I felt much, much more comfortable on this ladder at height. It doesn't flex or bend like the Werner did. I can deliver Roseburg to Eugene.
