Louisville Ladder AE2240 40 Ft Type Ia Extension Ladder

Product Description

The LOUISVILLE LADDER AE2240 is a 40-foot aluminum extension ladder rated Type IA with a 300-pound duty rating. Built with modified I-beam rail construction, it delivers the structural rigidity required for demanding job site use. The AE2240 is designed for trade professionals who need a full-height extension ladder that meets OSHA, ANSI, and CSA standards. Key functional features include a rope-and-pulley extension system, a safety rung lock for positive rung engagement, and D-shaped rungs for secure footing. The ladder weighs 84 pounds and ships as a single unit.

The AE2240 is suited for commercial and residential applications where working heights require a 40-foot extension ladder. HVAC technicians, electricians, roofers, and general contractors use this ladder for rooftop access, exterior wall work, and elevated equipment service. The swivel safety shoes provide stable footing on both hard and soft surfaces, and the mar-resistant end caps protect finished surfaces at the top rest points. The quick latch rung locks allow for fast, single-handed height adjustment during repositioning on the job.

Installation Notes

Extension ladders of this size and weight should be set up and repositioned by two people whenever possible. Before climbing, verify the rung locks are fully engaged and the base shoes are planted on firm, level ground. Follow ANSI A14.2 guidelines for proper angle of inclination — typically a 4-to-1 ratio of height to base distance. Inspect rails, rungs, and locking hardware for damage before each use.
