Little Giant Ladder Systems(R) today announced the introduction of two revolutionary new features for their popular articulating ladders. The new Little Giant is the only ladder available with patented Triple-Locking Hinges(R) -- for extra safety and stability -- and a new wheel system that engages when the ladder is in the storage position.
"We have always built the Little Giant to be extremely strong and safe," said Art Wing,company president. "When used properly, we believe the Little Giant is the strongest, safest, most versatile ladder system available, and now it's also the easiest to use. We care so much about safety that we are also one of the few ladder manufacturers that includes instructions right on each ladder, an instructional manual, and an additional instructional DVD with every Little Giant."
"Little Giant continues to look for ways to make our products even safer, stronger and easier to use. That's why we are so excited to announce these two newest innovations. With the addition of the new, patented,Triple-Locking Hinges(R) our Little Giant is now even stronger and easier to use," continued Wing, "and the new Tip & Glide Wheel System(R) makes it very easy for anyone to move around."
Little Giant supports the Consumers Union, Consumer Reports, and The American Ladder Institute's recommendations to update and increase mandatory ladder safety standards for all ladder manufacturers. This process is an ongoing consideration at Little Giant Ladders, resulting in the newly completed innovations.
The patented Little Giant Ladder Systems are the only multi-use ladders manufactured in America, just as they have been for over thirty years. The Little Giant Type IA has earned an impressive OSHA and ANSI 300 pound rating and it is the only ladder currently backed by the prestigious Good Housekeeping(R) Seal.
