Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Wing Enterprises, the maker of the celebrated Little Giant Ladder System, has recently launched this new line of ladders for home and professional use. This innovative line of ladders, known as the Ultra Step, has been designed specifically to provide a lightweight alternative for those who need a 5' - 8' A-frame, and a ladder that can handle staircases or go vertically against walls and corners. The Little Giant Ultra Step has a unique tripod-like design that gives the ladder Little Giant stability while delivering significant reduction in weight. Using the easy-to-use mechanisms well known to those who have ladders from Wing's main lines, the ladder can adjust to fit staircases, sloping ground, and ramps. Additionally, with the tripod leg in the vertical position, users can get right up close to walls or corners, where with traditional A-frame ladders, the higher you go, the further you are from your work space. As has been shown in numerous tests and comparisons, safety and quality have always been a priority at Little Giant. As such, the Ultra Step is rated up to 300 lbs, and meets or exceeds all applicable OSHA and ANSI standards. This fiberglass version of the Ultra Step is designed for use by those who need to work with electrical components.

This review is from: Little Giant 12580 Ultra Step 300-Pound Duty Rating Fiberglass Ladder, 5-to-8-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is a sturdy well made ladder that offers a very convenient adjustment range to work at the optimum height in my apartment (ceilings as high as 11 feet). Also, the tripod support system allows ladder to fit into tight corners and work close to walls. Amazon delivery was very quick; I got the ladder three days after ordering it!

This review is from: Little Giant 12580 Ultra Step 300-Pound Duty Rating Fiberglass Ladder, 5-to-8-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)
A well built gadget ladder that works in a variety of situations like unlevel surfaces or stairwells. It is the best ladder I've ever owned. Here's a couple of bits of information that might be helpful: 1. When fully extended, the highest rung/step rated safe to stand on is 69 inches above the level ground surface. It is the second rung from the top. So, this 8-foot ladder offers a maximum safe standing height of 5 feet 9 inches. 2. The next step up - or the first rung from the top - is labled with "Danger" and "Warning" stickers. "This is not a step." Well, it is built just like the other rungs and is solid. Therefore, it is a step, if you have uncanny balance and want it to be a step. It is 80 inches above level surface, but I wouldn't want to stand on it without something sturdy to hold on to. Another thing that makes life easier with this ladder is a good quality silicone spray like CRC Heavy Duty or NAPA. Don't use the foaming junk! Silicone does not collect dirt and dust like WD40. It is a clean lubricant. Spray the sliding boom, latches and hooks as well as the slide locks on top. After playing with the ladder right out of the box for a few minutes, I sprayed it with silicone. What a difference. It adjusts and glides into position smoothly. 34 pounds is not an issue. Move on up to the next level, which, for a change, is one you can actually see and touch.

This review is from: Little Giant 12580 Ultra Step 300-Pound Duty Rating Fiberglass Ladder, 5-to-8-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is an excellent handyman's tool. The only issue is that it's a bit heavy, but any fiberglass eight foot ladder will be. It works great on solid level surfaces, of course, and is much more rigid than most stepladders. The real benefit comes up when used, (probably against recommendations) on a steep slope. You can have the support leg at a different height than the step side. If you're painting a house on a hillside or working under a deck you'll appreciate that ability.I've also used mine orchard ladder style while working on my apple trees. It's nearly as stable as a three legged orchard ladder and if used carefully is perfectly safe for that application. Once again, the manufacturer probably wouldn't recommend that but it's worked fine for me. One very minor complaint is the locking mechanism that prevents the ladder from folding up on you while in use. There is a large button on either side of the top (not a step-heh heh). If the legs are fully extended you can't reach the buttons to fold up the ladder for moving it. You have to close up the legs first so you can manage the buttons. On the plus side, this system absolutely prevents the ladder from accidentally closing up on you when you are up in the air. This is positively the safest ladder I've used.
