FEATURES - Aluminium Type 1A   Multiple configurations
DURABLE
Made of heavy-wall 6005-T5 aluminum, this Type 1A ladder series is four to five times more durable than ordinary ladders.

While it possesses a workload rated capacity of 300 pounds, it has been tested to withstand four times that amount without structural failure.

 

 

Versatile
Independent tests conclude the Type 1A will replace approximately 60-70% of all portable ladders currently being manufactured.

For instance, the model 22 replaces five different size "A" frames ladders, nine different size extension ladders, two scaffolding trestles with five heights, ten staircase ladders (for working on uneven surfaces) and four 90 degree ladders (for getting closer to walls and etc.).

In fact, it would take nearly $800 in ordinary ladders to replace the capabilities of the Model 22 Little Giant. Even then, you would still lack the versatility, durability, and storage benefits of the Little Giant. Most of the models also come with a set of wheels for you to easily roll your ladder across the floor (except for model 13).

 

 

Compact Storage
Unbelievably, the Type 1A ladders stores in just 1.09m - 1.83m of space (depending on model), and weighs between 11.79kg - 24.49kg.

The Type 1A's adjustable design allows it to be safely used on stairs, ramps, curbs, docks, or other uneven surfaces.

A-FRAME

With a simple click of the patented hinge, the Little Giant can be used as a traditional A-Frame ladder.

Aframe
90°

Traditional ladders make working close to walls nearly impossible. With the Little Giant, one adjustment allows you to safely work against any vertical surface.

Aframe
STAIRCASE

Because it's adjustable in one-foot increments, the Little Giant allows one side of the ladder to be extended allowing safe use on uneven surfaces like staircases, curbs or docks.

Aframe
EXTENSION

For large projects the Little Giant easily converts to a stable extension ladder allowing you to reach rooftops, tree limbs and more with ease.

SCAFFOLDING

 

Since the Little Giant pulls apart to form two scaffold trestles, you just add the Little Giant work plank (sold separately) to form a convenient scaffolding system.
