Dewalt is always a step ahead. Builders can now go ladderless.

Contractor here, This is totally useless

Why do you think it’s useless as an experienced contractor?

@patrickb3333 To be fair I agree, Footprint of this is larger than a ladder, You would spent a vast amount of time getting this into place It’s too heavy to lift into place If your using this you may as well just use a cherry picker / scissor lift It would also need LOLAR inspections yrly

@patrickb3333 Your observations are great. But have you also thought about the negative effects of using a ladder?

Are you kidding me? Who’s going to move that contraption around and take 20 minutes to get it where you need it to go when you can pick up a ladder and do it in two minutes

Looks like it'll cost 100x more than a ladder, be more prone to breakage, harder to maintain and replace, and harder to transport.... Sorry I think contractors will prefer something that is more usable unless they got the money for vanity and the space...

It delivers 100x more than a L

Raymond order pickers have been around late 70's to early 80's. battery operated, mobile.

Just funny it's hand crank they are a a battery tool maker 😆.

This would have worked in around 2% of the thousands of times I've been on a ladder.

wow you mean I can have a bulky lift that is heavier and slower and it doesn't fit in as many places and doesn't go as high and isn't even electric for only 20 times the price of a ladder sign me right the fuck up

My back hurts thinking about loading this in and out of work truck

Ditch the hand crank and juice it wit snap on some 20v battery packs and I'm buying! I love DeWalt tools!

You sound more interesting..

Can't wait for this to malfunction and fling someone across a warehouse depot

Human is full of evil.. you don’t think like this in 2026 bro!

Bro speak fucking english, what the fuck is this sentence. Also, fuck off!

Some smart and cost effective approach in concrete works.

Couldn’t make a battery crank that?

Carry that over your shoulder to the job site... I dare you.

Lol - yeah let me just easily remove that from the top of my work van, get it into the house - no biggie.

This seems like a logical next step.

I can just toss stilts in my vehicle and it won't cost me 20k

That level of frustration when you drop a screw and have to crank your way down

Can only imagine what this costs compared to a ladder. Very cool though. Would help older tradesmen stay in the game.

Great. Can't wait for these to come flying off the back of an illegal's clapped out pickup on the highway.

If it can work on a unleveled surface. If it is light enough to carry. If it can roll across rocks. If it can reach 16ft high. If it was made more stable than that scary thing…

Yea…no. Unless I can hook up my drill to move it and to power the lift then it is indeed useless.

And it’s battery powered so you can work and not spend time spinning a crank.

Imagine having to throw that in the bed of the truck or on the ladder rack.

From a safety perspective this is 🔥

Absolutely 👍

We will never see one of those riding on top of a van or on a ladder rack. Ladders are lighter and more mobile than that…. Single man lift. Quit being a bitch, throw a ladder on your shoulder, go to your work area, set the ladder up. Climb on first rung, give it the shack test, climb to the top. Keep your dick around center, and feet on the step and you go to work. Stop being a soft ass bitch.

that’s terrible how much more expensive is that to a ladder ? On going Costs ? How fast can you get that assembled dis assembled how many people does it take to get it into a van ? I’ll stick with with a wooden ladder Talk about stupid technology solutions for none problems

"goodbye $30 ladders, here is a $15,000 replacement that needs another robot to carry it"

Goodbye ladders get the fuck out of here that's called laziness a ladder is much more easy to set up and purchase something like that I can store a lot of almost anywhere in my house or garage I can't store that shit anywhere that's not gonna take up a lot of space who's carrying that shit not me

Not necessarily a goodbye to ladder. But professionally and as per safety precautions and regulations, this new innovation supersedes ladder.

I literally drive a single man lift every day at work here I am drafting from one and here’s 3 dumb apprentices on one too

Weldone, Lamar👏🏻👏🏻 Always think about safety!!

His has absolutely nothing to do with replacing ladders. The added text overlay is from some retard that continues to get shared. See black stabilizing blocks that lift about standard 8ft ceiling. For hvac probably but would be huge for AV techs like me.

That’s awesome but good luck packing 25 of those on a van for a night crew switching out lights in a school. I could carry 4 ladders if needed but these would take at lest 4 men to carry it. Lol

I’m seeing workman’s comp coming from just loading it in the van.

They’re called aerial work platforms, aka scissor lifts. Carry on

What’s so special about it? It’s slow, impractical, useless in tight spaces, and most likely expensive. On top of that, DeWalt has the money to lobby so every job site is forced to use it. With tight deadlines and multiple trades working at once, we need something mobile that can be moved easily. Dewalt is not step ahead, then design better product. I hope Dewalt read my comment.

That thing is huge. Will it too wind up on the freeway?
