Little Giant Aluminum Ladder—A household Essential
Posted on: August 25, 2011
The Little Giant Aluminum Ladder is one of the most ingenious inventions for household use. This adjustable ladder can be used for extra high places, awkward hard to reach places, as well as just your standard ladder need places.
The Little Giant is designed so that it can be folded in half, which is its most common position, or it can be unfolded and extended to reach heights of up to 19' depending on the model. With an extension ladder that can extend that high, the task of hanging Christmas lights, cleaning out rain gutters, retrieving that frisbee off the roof or making rooftop repairs becomes everything but a challenge. Tree limbs can also be easily reached for building tree houses, hanging swings, or trimming branches; maybe even rescuing the neighbor's cat. The Little Giant ladder also has a flared base making the ladder more stable in its extended position than any other extension ladder. Now an additional person holding the ladder at the bottom is no longer a necessity.
One of the most amazing features of the Little Giant aluminum ladder is its ability to have each side independently adjusted in one foot increments so one side can be taller than the other. This makes it the perfect companion for working over staircases, or on staircases, curbs, docks, or any other place where there is an uneven floor surface. Once again, the flared base on each side provides optimum strength and stability. The easy to use pin system on the sides of each leg makes the adjustments a "snap". That's right. The pin is simply pulled out of the hole on each side. The ladder then slides up or down depending on the height needed and then the pin is inserted in the hole on the next needed length. The "snap" sound as it locks in place is an indicator that the ladder is safe, secure, and strong. This process can be repeated on the other side, adjusting the height according to the unevenness of the work area.
Another unique feature of the Little Giant ladder is its ability to stand flush against a wall or other vertical surface. The unique patented locking hinge allows one side of the ladder to stay completely vertical while the other side can be adjusted out to the normal ladder angle. This is very convenient for tasks such as hanging things on walls or washing high windows.
Need a traditional A-frame ladder? The Little Giant ladder is the best available. It can adjust height for low tasks or high ones like changing light bulbs in high ceilings, or decorating the top of that tall Christmas tree. This ladder is unique because both sides can be used for climbing and the top can be used at a step or a seat! This decreases the number of times the ladder needs to be moved. The ability to use both sides of the ladder makes it possible to straddle the ladder on top for increased user balance and stability.
There is no question that the Little Giant aluminum ladder is the best aluminum ladder on the market. Made of heavy-wall aerospace aluminum, the Little Giant ladder is ultra-strong, but still light weight and portable.
