Overview

The Little Giant is a hinged multi-position ladder. The same ladder locks into an A-frame step ladder, extends into a straight ladder, sets up with its legs at different lengths to stand level on a staircase, or opens at 90° to work against a wall.

We rent two: 5–19 ft, and 6–23 ft for longer reach.

It suits work that changes through the day and trade work that moves between jobs, because one ladder covers what would otherwise be three.

Everything depends on the locks. Listen and look for every lock tab snapping fully into place before climbing, and set both sides to the same rung unless you are deliberately standing it on stairs. A lock that will not fully engage puts the ladder out of service.

Troubleshooting

Lock tabs won't engage

Checks to try, in order

  1. Line up the holes by sliding the section slightly until the lock snaps in.
  2. Clean dirt or paint out of the lock mechanism.

A lock that won't fully engage means the ladder is out of service.

Reference draft — always follow the manufacturer’s manual.
