Cosco Steps Up into New Product Category
Introducing: The World’s Greatest™ Ladders

Cosco has expanded it’s successful 3-step step stool line into the ladder category with the introduction of the World’s Greatest™ Multi-Use Ladder. It will be available in 13-, 17-, and 21-foot heights, in both Type III household and Type IA commercial versions.

All versions of the World’s Greatest™ convert from a step ladder to an extension ladder to a stairway ladder to a scaffold. Locks snap into place with a loud click for security, yet pulls out easily for quick adjustment. Stabilizing feet help steady the sturdy aluminum ladder. Compact fold allows ladder to be easily stored or transported.

Cosco is also introducing a line of Adepta™ articulating ladders. All ladders will be displayed at Cosco’s Hardware Show booth 37106.
