The Root Causes

90% of ladder injuries trace back to three preventable causes.

  • 40%OF INJURIES

    INCORRECT SETUP

    40% of ladder injuries are caused by incorrect setup. Little Giant ladders use levelers, outriggers, Sure-Set™ feet, and bubble levels to help users stay stable and set the right angle every time safely.

  • 30%OF INJURIES

    Lifting Injury

    30% of ladder injuries happen while lifting heavy ladders. Lightweight materials, Tip & Glide™ wheels, and built-in hand grips help make ladders easier to carry, reposition, and move safely on the jobsite.

  • 20%OF INJURIES

    Missing Bottom Rung

    20% of ladder injuries happen when people miss the bottom rung. Our Ground Cue® provides an audible and tactile alert on the last step, so users know it's safe to step off, helping reduce incidents.

Solution
Adjustable Levelers

Adjustable Levelers

Each rail adjusts independently to keep the ladder level on stairs, slopes, and uneven ground. Fast setup, solid footing, no shims or improvised fixes.

Outriggers

Outriggers

Extending outriggers widen the ladder’s footprint at ground level for greater side-to-side stability where it matters most.

Built-In Bubble Levels

Built-In Bubble Levels

Integrated bubble levels take the guesswork out of setup. One quick glance confirms the ladder is level, stable, and ready to climb.

Sure-Set™ Feet

Sure-Set™ Feet

Heavy-duty rubber pads hold firm on flat, stable surfaces, while metal spikes bite into dirt, gravel, and jobsite terrain for maximum stability.

It isn't about selling ladders. It's about preventing injuries, saving lives, and empowering pros to work better, faster, and safer.

Built Different
By Design

1. Safety-driven innovation

On select models, we removed the top rung on purpose, eliminating the risk of climbing too high. Every detail is engineered to encourage safer movement, better balance, and more confident climbing. Safety becomes second nature from the ground up.
2. Engineered for Stability

Interlocking C-channel rails and box-rung construction create a strong, rigid frame. The result is a ladder that feels solid, steady, and dependable under load, giving you greater confidence with every climb and every task.
3. WIDE, FLAT RUNGS

Slip-resistant rungs are wider and flatter than standard ladder steps, providing greater foot support and comfort. The larger stepping surface helps reduce fatigue while improving stability and traction from the first rung to the last.
4. MORE ROOM. MORE CONFIDENCE.

Some models include extra-wide comfort steps or standing platforms provide the extra room professionals need to work comfortably. Better footing helps improve balance, reduce fatigue, and deliver all-day comfort when you're spending extended time on the ladder.
5. SLIP-RESISTANT FEET

Wide, heavy-duty feet help stabilize the ladder on rough terrain and smooth surfaces alike. By improving traction and reducing unwanted movement, they create a solid foundation that supports safer, steadier climbing every time you step up.
