DEFENDER Little Giant Ladder
The Little Giant Defendr™ ladder system was specifically designed for use by firefighters, the Little Giant Defender offers a number of unique features that cannot be found on just any ladder. Designed to fit in the storage space of most fire apparatus, this lightweight ladder offers the strength and versatility necessary when facing an emergency situation.
Easy Carrying – The Overhaul Ladder is designed to be extremely mobile and easy to move from place to place. It is equipped with a large, solid aluminum carrying handle that is easy to grip while wearing firefighter gloves.
Heat Sensing Technology – The Overhaul Ladder has special heat-sensing labels that indicate when the ladder has been exposed to damaging temperatures and should be taken out of service.
 |
A-Frame LadderWith a simple click of the patented hinge, the Little Giant can be used as a traditional A-Frame ladder. |
 |
Staircase LadderBecause it's adjustable in one-foot increments, the Little Giant allows one side of the ladder to be extended allowing safe use on uneven surfaces like staircases, curbs or docks. |
 |
90° LadderTraditional ladders make working close to walls nearly impossible. With the Little Giant, one adjustment allows you to safely work against any vertical surface. |
 |
Extension LadderFor large projects the Little Giant easily converts to a stable extension ladder allowing you to reach rooftops, tree limbs and more with ease. |
 |
ScaffoldingSince the Little Giant pulls apart to form two scaffold trestles, you just add the optional work plank (sold separately) and trestle brackets (sold separately) to form a convenient scaffolding system. |
