GREENVILLE, Pa., Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Werner, the global leader in ladders and manufacturer of a complete line of climbing products, introduces two new work platforms: the AP-25 Aluminum Pro and the AP-35 Aluminum Pro Linking Work Platforms. The new platforms each have an increased load capacity over their predecessors, as well as several new features designed for comfort and ease of use.

"Our new work platforms improve on products that pros and homeowners already use every day," said Michael Melton, Group Product Manager at WernerCo. "Painters, drywallers and anyone who needs to work side-to-side will appreciate our new and improved work platforms for their functionality and durability."

New features on the AP-25 and AP-35 include:

Oversized Platform provides a non-skid area for standing.
EASY-GRAB Handles built into the center of the work platforms, allowing for easy transportation and mobility around a work site. Users can now transport the platform in one hand while carrying supplies in the other.
Dual self-locking legs made to lock in both the open and closed positions for safety and easy storage and transportation.
Non-marring feet provide a secure, no-slip foundation for each model.
Increased load capacity in a lightweight aluminum design; up to 300 lbs for the AP-25 and 375 lbs for the AP-35.

Linking System Safely Connects AP-35 Work Platforms

In addition to these features, the larger AP-35 Aluminum Pro Linking Work Platform is capable of connecting up to four platforms using its integrated linking design. By connecting platforms together, pros can quadruple their work surface up to 16 feet in length without having to step down.

The AP-25 and AP-35 Aluminum Pro Work Platforms are available online at select retail locations. For more information on Werner's new work platforms, use the following links to view the official product videos:
