Werner MT1AA-22 Multi-Position Ladder vs Gorilla Ladders 22 ft Multi-Position Ladder

Buy the Werner MT1AA-22 if you need a ladder rated for two-person work or heavy industrial loads; its 375 lb per-side Type IAA rating and shatterproof J-locks are the deciding factors. Buy the Gorilla 22 ft multi-position ladder if you mostly climb alone and want convenience features: a removable project bucket, tool hangers and wheels. Both are aluminum multi-position ladders with five configurations and a 22 ft reach, so the real split is load rating and locks versus storage and tool-carrying extras. Owners of the Gorilla rate it highly, while Werner's Type IAA rating is the stronger safety margin for pros.

• Choose the Werner MT1AA-22 if you work with a second person, carry heavy tools, or want the higher 375 lb Type IAA duty rating and simpler J-lock hinges.
• Choose the Gorilla 22 ft ladder if you work solo and want the project bucket, built-in tool hangers and wheels for moving it around a job site.
