Little Giant 10303W 250-Pound Duty Rating Ladder System with Work Platform, 22-Foot

by Little Giant

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Little Giant Ladder System Type 1 is more durable than ordinary ladders. The Little Giant is made of heavy-wall aluminum. And while it possesses a workload capacity of 250 pounds, it has been tested to withstand several times that amount without structural failure. The Model Twenty-Two replaces four different size "A" frames ladders, seven different size extension ladders, two scaffolding trestles with four heights, six staircase ladders (for working on uneven surfaces) and three 90 degree ladders (for getting closer to walls and etc.). In fact, it would take nearly $600 in ordinary ladders to replace the Model Twenty-Two Little Giant. Even then, you would still lack the versatility, durability, and storage benefits. Unbelievably, it stores in just 4-feet 7-inches of space, and weighs only 39 pounds. The Little Giant's adjustable features allows it to be safely* used on stairs, ramps, curbs, docks, or other uneven surfaces. The Type 1 is available in Models Thirteen, Seventeen, and Twenty-Two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ladder and extremely well designed and built!, October 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Giant 10303W 250-Pound Duty Rating Ladder System with Work Platform, 22-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

The 303 is a great ladder. It is top heavy when fully extended with the wall standoff and I'd recommend having two people when working with it this way. In all other cases, the ladder is very easy to work with and very easy to configure. The ladder is very solidly built and wobbled very little when fully extended. As an A-frame, it is rock-solid. It also stores easily, more easily than my ordinary six-foot ladder.
The work platform is a must if you plan on using the ladder as an A-frame and want a place to rest a can of paint. It is designed to handle up to 300 lbs. and looks like it could handle more.
For the average homeowner, I would stick with the 203 or 303. The 103 really is overkill for a non-professional and the extra weight I think would make it more of a hassle, especially with the wall standoff.

This review is from: Little Giant 10302W 250-Pound Duty Rating Ladder System with Work Platform, 17-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

Just got this ladder so I'm still trying it out but it works great for the kinds of things I need to do around the house. Much more stable than the two step ladders I've had. And supports my unfortunately large (260 lbs) frame quite well.

The various configurations make this ladder great. It can be used as a regular step or A frame ladder but the adjustments that allow you to move it closer to the house while in a modified A configuration really make it safe.

Using it as an extension ladder is great too although it has a shakey feel to it when climbing. However, that could be my weight or the fact that I'm not used to climbing that high on the ladders I've had.

Folds and stores very neatly into a small package and adjustments can be made simply and easily. The video tape that comes with it helps to understand the various formats and should be viewed before reading the booklet.

Saw this ladder advertised on TV for more money (although it did come with a neat step stand that can be used with it - Amazon doesn't offer that but should). Worth the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great ladder, September 12, 2004

If you want to purchase the Little Giant ladder as seen on TV, watch out. The one advertised on TV has a 300 lb. rating and is classified as industrial grade. This one has a 250 lb. rating and is classified as a household rated one. All in all, both are excellent. This one weighs about 6 lbs. ligher than the industrial grade model. In addition, for those struggling with its weight, you could break it down to two ladders and save your back.
