Little Giant Ladder Systems Reinvents Itself with Introduction of 8 New Product Lines


Springville, Utah, February 9, 2010 – Little Giant Ladder Systems® (http://www.littlegiantladders.com), makers of the original articulating ladder, announced eight innovative new product lines that will reshape the ladder industry. An integral part of the company’s strategy for success, Little Giant Ladder Systems is capitalizing on a game-changing opportunity—the reinvention of the traditional stepladder, which has been around for centuries. The release of these innovations marks a pivotal milestone in the company’s steady progress.


“While many companies are entrenched in price wars or retreating due to the recession, Little Giant Ladder Systems is thriving and experiencing tremendous success despite the difficult economic climate,” said H. Arthur Wing, President. “Our 37-year track record has been built on a culture of challenging conventional wisdom and has culminated in our innovative new product lines engineered to meet the everyday needs of homeowners and professionals alike.”

Patented, never-before-seen safety, stability and ease-of-use features are the hallmarks of Little Giant’s new fully expanded product scope. Some of these unique design elements are featured in the following innovative products:


• SumoStance™ is the world’s only wide-stance extension ladder with adjustable outriggers to triple its base width and adjust 9 inches up and down to safely work on nearly any uneven surface.


• MicroBurst™ incorporates Fold-Flat™ technology, storing in nearly half the space of most stepladders and features the StableLock™ spreader system that virtually prevents unwanted shifting or walking.


• Select Step™ has independently adjustable sections that create a 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-foot stepladder and, with the AirDeck™ Safety System, offers superb stability and safety on nearly any surface, including staircases or sloping ground.


“Little Giant Ladder Systems, Inc. has invested years of research and development to provide our customers with safer, more versatile ladders,” said Ryan Moss, CEO. “The company’s recent innovations are not only changing the ladder category, but are making ladders safer, more comfortable and convenient

for everyone. Our new strategic vision leverages the creativity of our people while maximizing Little Giant Ladder Systems' strong global brand presence.”
