            The AC78 Stabilizer will not work with many of the aluminum ladders, however most will take the AC96 stabilizer (unless it is one of the 500's series). The AC78 will only fit the following Aluminum ladders - Series D1300-2, D1800-2EQ, All D1500 series, D500-2 series

            By|Aug 7, 2026

              Model AC78 is designed for Werner ladders. Please contact Customer Care at 888-523-3371, when you are at your ladder, so we can determine if it will work for your ladder.

                              Don't listen to them, I've been using Werner universal ladder stabilizers on Gorilla AND Little Giant ladders for 8 years without issue. Just be sure you have the bar attached to the outer legs so it extends upward.

                                        Box was already open when it was delivered and it was missing the arms. I’m not sure what’s going on that this is a recurring theme for this product unless they keep shipping the same box with pieces missing to lots of different customers.

                                          I feel much safer
                                          I bought this a few days ago. I feel much safer working 2 stories up. My only issue is the pin that locks the lower portion of the stabilizer assembly to the ladder. Each time I have removed the assembly - twice now - I have found the pin to be bent. While kit is still doing its job, it becomes a bit more difficult to remove. I will try to include a picture.

                                            Totally worth it and well made
                                            I bought it a while ago to work on the gutters and whatnot. Finally got to use it to fix a flood light. This was the second time I had to change the flood light and this time was so much easier because I was able to maintain a safe distance from the wall and be able to work safely and efficiently. Totally worth it.

                                              Great buy for safety
                                              Bought this item as I need to stabilize my 22ft Gorilla multi position ladder at full extent. It fits well and I feel confident to claim up height. To make sure this will not slide up or down from the ladder rung, as others did I added a claim to clock it. You can also attach to any rung of a ladder which is barely mentioned from any instructions

                                                Stable, essential for gutter work, compatible with gorilla ladders
                                                Works beautifully on gorilla ladders. Just follow instructions for installing on MT style ladder. Werner does not recommend due to liability, maybe?

                                                  Three points of contact are better than two!
                                                  I don't like heights, even more so every year I get older. Had to get up to fix some gutter issues and look into window drip caps .. already had a Werner ladder, so got this stabilizer and it does give you some piece of mind with it's adjustable width. Three points of contact are better than two! Unfortunately it wasn't quite wide enough to span the 30 year old vinyl shudders on either sides of the windows, so I made two foot wide "shoes" for the stabilizer feet, covered with old towel cloth, to widen the area of the pressure the feet would put on those old shutters. Stabilizer was initially fairly easy to install once you read the directions through a couple times. The extensions being easy to remove makes storing the ladder easier.
