Werner SSA03 375-Pound Duty Rating Aluminum Step Stand, 3-Foot Review

The Werner SSA00 Series (Aluminum) and SSF00 Series (Fiberblass) step stands are built like tanks and will truly last a lifetime. I currently own two each of both the aluminum & fiberglass 3' step stands (SSF03 & SSA03) and have enjoyed every single use with them over the past year and a half (I use them at least 4-5 times per week and have used/abused them to no end!).

Anyway, I think it is important to clairify some key facts relating to the product's duty rating/load capacity. I say this because there is a review posted about 2+ years ago that really confused me in relation to their (incorrect) statements regarding load capacity/duty rating. So, I think it is important to set the record straight and outline the current product specifications for the various models of Werner step stands being sold on Amazon (as of 2012-Mar-23):

SSF02 (2-foot) Fiberglass Step Stand: 375-lbs. load capacity / Type IAA Duty Rating.
SSF03 (3-foot) Fiberglass Step Stand: 375-lbs. load capacity / Type IAA Duty Rating.
SSA02 (2-foot) Aluminum Step Stand: 375-lbs. load capacity / Type IAA Duty Rating.
SSA03 (3-foot) Aluminum Step Stand: 375-lbs. load capacity / Type IAA Duty Rating.

In short, and contrary to the old review that I'm referring to, *all* the 2' & 3' aluminum/fiberglass Werner step stands listed above carry the highest load capacity & duty rating available (375-lbs. / Type IAA, respectively).

I think the confusion was due to the fact that *BEFORE 2008*, Werner's step stand products only carried the slightly lower 300-pound load capacity / Type IA duty rating. Accordingly, for all *2008 AND NEWER* shipments from the Werner factory, these re-designed step stand models (listed above) now feature their strongest and highest capacity/rating (i.e., 375-lbs. load capacity & Type IAA duty rating).

Anyway, all of the current inventory that Amazon now sells is apparently of this "NEW" (2008 and newer) design and therefore carries the 375-lbs load capacity / Type IAA duty rating, just as they advertise. NOTE: Just as a word of caution: I believe this is the case for all inventory shipped & sold by *Amazon*...this does *not* necessarily mean that all of the 3rd Pary Sellers (non-Amazon) selling these products are actually shipping/have in-stock the "new" (2008+) higher-rated/higher-capacity product.

In summary, this is definitely an expensive product; however, as has been my personal experience, it's meant to be a "last a lifetime" type of product...you get what you pay for.
