Little Giant VS. Gorilla ladder: Which one is better?
366275
Good review, even though 2 years ago. Still good info. I'm thinking for the pro the Little Giant might show better quality after much use, but for home owners the Gorilla might be fine. Just a guess based on unrelated experience.

Aluminium is much lighter. I have never seen a wooden attic ladder rated for 350lbs so presumably aluminium is also much stronger in this application at least.

I bought the ladder a few years ago for my home inspection business. I have used the werners you can buy at lowes and was not impressed and would not trust my life on one. The little giant xe is great. Its well built, strong, and seems like it will last a lifetime. Obviously its heavier but a lightweight ladder is not safer and not going to handle years of use and abuse. I spent the extra money because I wanted to only buy a ladder once and not worry about it failing while I am on it. Medical bills far exceed the cost of this ladder

Without a doubt. I used the ladder in a stairwell and had almost the same height ratio. The ladder was very stable and I felt completely safe 10 feet in the air.

Even though I have purchased three Little Giants you cannot make it more than a 7 foot A-Frame. I really like the Little Giant and recently purchased one for our son to go along with the two I already have for myself. I hope that answers your question.

Sorry for the delay in answering you, but I do not check my mail daily. This is to the best of my knowledge and observation. I bought the AA10 telescopic ladder (my ceiling was 9 feet). I chose the telescopic because I had limited floor space and attic space for the ladder to fold up. The AA1510 looks like it is in three part sections. This takes up a lot of attic space (don't forget you have rafters up their). The AA1510 was just too big for my area. So far I have no problems with the AA10's attic accessibility nor storage of the ladder. Because of new construction and a sealed attic area, the ladder will be used for a 1x a year pest inspection. Hope this helps. Jeri Sorry for the delay in answering you, but I do not check my mail daily. This is to the best of my knowledge and observation.

I'm not sure about the difference but I can tell you that the Classic is a great ladder except that it is very heavy and the rungs are very narrow. It does have wheels so it can be rolled but it's wide so it it's not easy to get it through doors and sometimes you do have to lift it. I love that I can get close to the wall by shortening one side and that feature also means it doesn't take up as much space in the room when you need to place it around furniture. Mine came with a work platform so that once you climb to the height you need it is comfortable to stand on it. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I have, and it seems to be safe enough, you should though, take into consideration the weight limits in the spec's if it is shown in them.This has been a really handy ladder, which I have used a lot since I purchased it.

I have the M22 ladder. In the reduced (collapsed) A frame position, it is slightly shorter than my height, which is 6 foot. This is an excellent ladder, great for 10 foot ceilings.

Both! The frame is a light weight anodized aluminum, with the steps being plastic and the top of the ladder having a plastic rubbery handle for easy grip pick up & toting over the shoulder! I 'm 5"1' and my husband is 6"1', so this ladder makes it perfect for the times he's not around for me and even better for the times he is around, he can reach the REALLY tall stuff! Very sturdily built!

My husband is a construction business owner and has a wide variety of ladders. He loves this ladder due to the fact that it is light weight and that it slides up and down easily. He says that it is also very durable and sturdy. Hope that helps you with your decision. It truly is a great ladder.

Go with the Ultra model....just a little sturdier. I have 2 boys. This model is good, but I think the Ultra model is a little heavier plastic.

I assemble swingsets for a living and Im 165 lb.s, I climb all over it while working and it will support more weight, their site says ages 3 to 10 so I would say it is fine,, if you want a stronger model Gorilla uses thicker wood but you pay more,, mm-assembly.com

Aluminum is definitely lighter, and in the attic ladder application, light weight is a definite benefit -- easier to raise and lower. The more important feature is weight capacity. This ladder has a 350 lbs capacity; most wooden ones are 250 lbs.

Sharon, I believe you would need 4 step or higher ladder. I'm 67 and enjoy the ladder. It is a well-built ladder and therefore weighs more than a less well-built ladder. I suggest contacting Little Giant Ladder company for more specific technical information and guidance. Little Giant Ladder also has excellent specifications on their website. Although not a specific answer, I hope my response is helpful. Stay warm and safe!

You really need an extension ladder for 2nd story gutters. Little Giant has several models that convert from step ladder (A-shape) to extension latter (straight line up) that would be long enough for the job but its total length needs to be longer than the max height of the gutter. I would want a stabilizer for the ladder as well.

What you are referring to is actually the Little Giant 12022 RevolutionXE. The main difference between this ladder and all the other models is the replacement of the spring loaded ladder extension locks with a pop-out lever extension lock. You will see this at the top of the ladder as a banana shaped rocker. The other option is the ratchet extension (extra cost) that is available only on the Revolution. This allows you to extend down individual legs with an internal sliding section via a ratchet device to level the ladder over uneven ground. The normal ladders have a optional uneven ground attachment that adjusts by sliding through a clamp attaching it to the leg. Little Giants come in two ratings, 250 lbs. and 300 lbs. The Revolution and their standard ladder are rated at 300 lbs, where as the Alta-One is a lighter version of the standard ladder rated at 250 lbs.
