AC78 Aluminum Stabilizer For Extension ladders

Werner AC78 Aluminum Stabilizer For Extension ladders

Werner says this "should not" be used with Type III aluminum ladder. Does that mean absolutely not? If so, why not? Any way to make adjustments?


I believe the Type III aluminum ladders are made in 3 sections so you can reach greater heights than a 2 section extension ladder. These 3 section ladders also have bigger rungs. So you might have trouble installing the stabilizer on the rungs as well as controlling the ladder when extended. I use it on a 28ft fiberglass ladder and its a real challenge when you install the stabilizer on the top rung and then fully extend the ladder prior to leaning it onto the roof.
