Werner LockTop Ladder: Overview
- Incorporated into the NXT, 6200, and 6300 series of fiberglass step ladders

The Werner LockTop ladder tops are incorporated into a variety of the brand’s ladders, including the NXT series, 6200 series, and 6300 series of fiberglass step ladders. They provide much-needed storage at height, with compartments for tools and accessories Pros carry with them on the job.
In fact, the center insert of the LockTop is designed specifically to store an impact driver, one of the most commonly used power tools. Now, instead of clipping it to your belt or trying to balance it on the top of a standard ladder, you can keep it out of the way with a specialized impact driver compartment.
The 6200 and 6300 series ladders include advanced ladder tops with additional features, such as a metal mounting plate for magnetic accessories and extra carabiner holes.
