Little Giant Ladders RSS Feed

The Little Giant Ladder Company has a reputation for quality and innovation – their classic model is the leader in the multi-purpose ladder market, having 24 separate configurations possible from what looks like an unassuming step ladder.  Their new Stadium steps are just as impressive and demonstrate their commitment to worker safety in a quality product. The Stadium steps have sturdy sides made from fibreglass, making these ladders suitable for electrical work as well as any construction and maintenance jobs.  The bright green fibreglass also adds excellent visibility, vital for a busy site.  There's no need to worry about accidental knocks from the ground; if the bright colour wasn't enough to make people aware there's a ladder there, the stabilising bars at the rear widen the footprint..

Imagine you could design a ladder, with complete freedom of choice over materials, dimensions, capabilities and accessories.  What sort of ladder would you design?  A major concern for many people when choosing a ladder is where it is going to be stored when it is not being used, or how it will be transported to and from work if it is a trade ladder.  For that reason, it is tempting to think that telescopic technology might be favoured in the design of a fantasy ladder, as this is one of the most compact types of ladder out there.  The concertina style folds of the space saving loft ladder are also appealing, but there is a risk of getting fingers caught up in the mechanism. For this imaginary ladder, we will stick with telescopic legs. The most useful ladders are multi-functional, serving..

A step ladder is your best friend around the home.  A short one is useful for reaching on top of cupboards and high shelves, and a tall one is the best for hanging wallpaper, painting or putting up shelves or picture hooks.  Not many step ladders can be both short and tall at the same time, so you might think about buying two that will fulfil all your height needs.  Domestic rated step ladders are not expensive, and if you already have, say, a tall step ladder then you only need to buy a shorter one if you have the need for it.  If you don't have any step ladders, or need to replace the ones you already have, then the Little Giant Select Step or Little Giant Classic is a good bet.  With the Select Step achieving platform heights of between 80cm and 1.6 metres and the Classic available..

The Little Giant Classic series of ladders is the original 24-in-1 ladder system from the highly regarded American manufacturer and the 3-rung model is the shortest available.  Although there may only be three rungs in the shortest step-ladder configuration, the legs extend to give a six-rung step ladder with a maximum height of 1.48 metres.  When fully extended as a straight ladder, the height of 3.04 metres is enough to reach the roofline of a bungalow or the bottom of the first floor windows of a two-storey home. As with all Little Giant 24-in-1 ladders, the three-rung Classic can be used as a step ladder, 90-degree step ladder, straight extension ladder, stairway ladder and trestle for a work platform.  The 90-degree step ladder configuration is perfect for cleaning windows as th..

Springtime is here! Summer nearly too! whilst that might seem optimistic given the recent and ongoing bad weather, it won't be long before enjoying the outdoors is once again on the cards.  If you have a conservatory then you can enjoy the coming warmer weather without being exposed to the elements; you can even enjoy a thunderstorm or April shower from the comfort of a conservatory.  However, after the high winds, storms and mini tornadoes some of us have experienced over the past few months, the outside of many conservatories will need a good clean, otherwise you can't enjoy the outdoor views. Cleaning the vertical windows of a conservatory is easy, as they are all on the first floor and can be cleaned by hand from the ground.  You may need a small step ladder or extension ladder to reac..
