Duo-Safety Ladder Corporation

About Duo-Safety Ladder Corporation

Duo-Safety Ladder Corporation is a privately owned company started in 1931 in Chilton Wisconsin and incorporated in Oshkosh Wisconsin in 1933. The Corporation has its roots with two families from its start in the early 1920’s as a ladder manufacturer and remains in the last surviving family today. Duo-Safety is currently welcoming in the 3rd generation of management. Within those humble beginnings was a booming business for the Oshkosh area showcasing product lines for industrial use in the 1940’s and fire service use throughout our history. The industrial line included industrial step ladders, marine ladders, sectional ladders, scaffolding spans and folding ladders in aluminum and wood. The Fire Service line included wood and aluminum roof ladders, 2-section extension, 3-section extension, folding ladders, along with wood and aluminum pike poles and Boom truck Ladders. We also have a history of manufacturing ladder sections for aerial ladder manufacturers both in wood and steel in the early years to aluminum today. The industrial line phased out in the mid 1970’s and we produced and sold the balance of our materials for industrial ladders and wooden products by the late 1980’s. The reduction and eventual discontinuation of wooden ladder products came with environmental concerns in the Northwest of the United States, the direct supply area for wood materials. Today, our wooden ladder products are used minimally around the United States(mostly for parade purposes), as they require a great deal of care and maintenance to keep them up to NFPA standards required. By 1988, Duo-Safety continued to focus solely on the Fire Service line in Aluminum and Fiberglass Ladders. Through time our product lines have shifted and over 80 years later we are still focused on the Fire Service needs and requirements for today. The Duo-Safety name has been known for many things through the years and quality and safety have always been at the core of those items.
