Werner m7116-1 Fiberglass Manhole Ladder 16 Ft 375 Lb

Product Description

The WERNER m7116-1 is a fiberglass straight ladder designed specifically for manhole and below-grade access applications. Built to ANSI Type IAA duty rating, it carries a 375 lb load capacity — the highest residential and light commercial classification available. The fiberglass side rails are nonconductive, making this ladder appropriate for electricians and tradespeople working in environments with live or nearby electrical sources. At 40 pounds and 16 feet in overall length, it delivers a 12 ft maximum standing height and an 18.6 ft maximum reach height. The single-section design fits the narrow profile required for manhole entry.

This ladder is used in below-ground access situations including utility vaults, sewers, wells, and similar confined-entry structures. The 12.4-inch overall width is engineered to fit standard manhole openings. It is well suited for municipal utility crews, electrical contractors, plumbers, and general maintenance trades who routinely work in below-grade environments. The 16-rung layout with 12-inch rung spacing follows standard climbing ergonomics across the full 15 ft top-to-bottom rung height.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style straight ladder for manhole and below-grade access applications requiring a nonconductive, single-section fiberglass ladder meeting ANSI A14.2-2007 and OSHA compliance standards.

Installation Notes

Placement and retrieval of manhole ladders should be performed by qualified tradespeople following applicable OSHA confined-space entry regulations and local safety codes. Inspect the ladder for cracks, deformation, or damaged rungs before each use. Ensure the slip-resistant shoes are fully seated on a stable, level surface at the base before ascending. Do not exceed the rated 375 lb load capacity, including tools and equipment carried.
