Louisville Ladder(TM) Launches New Line of Dewalt Professional Grade Ladders, Scaffolds, Working Platforms and Accessories

LAS VEGAS, May 3, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Louisville Ladder has entered into a licensing agreement to design, manufacture and market a line of ladders and ladder accessories under the DEWALT brand. The new DEWALT climbing line includes 13 unique products that offer the performance and versatility that professionals need to tackle nearly any climbing task on a jobsite.

Among the new DEWALT ladders is the flagship DXL3810 stepladder. The DXL3810 features wrap-around internal spreaders, non-marring slip-resistant shoes, a heavy-duty metal top with convenient tool slots, and an innovative impact absorption system, which helps prevent damage and extend the life of the ladder. The combination of all of these features enables the DXL3810 to safely support loads up of to 500 pounds.

All of the new products were designed and engineered in partnership with climbing industry leader, Louisville Ladder.

"It has been a pleasure to work alongside the team at DEWALT," said Santiago Veytia, Director of Marketing for Louisville Ladder. "Like Louisville Ladder, DEWALT is committed to delivering innovative, heavy-duty products for the professional market, so the partnership is a natural fit."

The new DEWALT climbing line will be available at retailers nationwide in late spring of 2012.
